BREAKING: Trump is now threatening to put his (likely illegal) tariffs on countries that don't go along his illegal attempt to take over Greenland.
This is what Dictators do.

(22,181 posts)Hes looking for the least embarrassing off ramp because hes seen the polling on Greenland, and knows an invasion will only worsen Republicans already shitty chances in the midterms, not to mention destroy the economy.

Bok! Bok!
