In advance of meeting with European leaders at Davos, Trump posted an image on Truth Social of him meeting with them with a map in the background depicting Canada, Greenland, and Venezuela as parts of the US.

Donald Trump went on a late night rant and posted texts from foreign leaders along with photos about him taking over Greenland.

Why are we allowing Republicans to avoid Trump's declining mental state?!

(7,677 posts)His bigly big brain comes up with so many bigly great ideas!
His weaknesses?
Thinking a fake map will make it happen, just like using a sharpie to redirect a storm.
Leaving details up to others - like oil companies are going to run Venezuela, right?
Thinking Greenland is his because he says so!
Thinking tariffs work.
Those, plus the fact he is kind of crazy, tend to discount the value of his bigly great ideas.

Impeach him.
Unfortunately the USA right now is in a circular firing squad with crazies like VP, a new VP, and the remaining cabinet, administration, republican congress, and their courts.
UGH. The nightmare continues.

(129,397 posts)and he's just using all the commotion as a smokescreen for the withholding of the Epstein files. I almost always agree with O'Donnell but this time I think he's dead wrong. Greenland is a big deal, even an obsession for Trump, like the Nobel Peace Prize which he's still has such a big mad about not getting (even though he extorted Machado's medal and gave her nothing in return) that he's tariffing all the countries who have sent troops to Greenland to defend it, especially Norway, whose government has nothing to do with the NPP. He has a huge hard-on for getting Greenland, Epstein files notwithstanding, and destroying NATO in the process is BFF Putin's wet dream. This is serious. The Epstein files must be released, obviously, but Greenland isn't just a diversion.

(23,723 posts)I have spent some time in Canada and have several Canadian friends. They have often messaged me these last 9 years about Trump expressing their concern and looking for me to ease it. My response has been the same, "You absolutely should be worried about trump, he absolutely is a threat to your country's independence and the Canadian way of life." Often they poo pooed me at the start, but slowly they have grown more alarmed. Now it's full panic, "Is this for real John? Should we be afraid?"
Yes, Trump doesn't view Canada any differently than he views Yemen, Iran, or Venezuela. If he thinks he can get away with something that will enrich him or help him in some other way, he's going to do it. So in short, Canada needs to build their military up so that military action can be responded to severely, that's the only thing Trump understands, force.

(39,309 posts)"I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland."
That's what French President Emmanuel Macron told President Donald Trump, in a private message shared online by the American leader.
The message, posted overnight on Truth Social, was part of a flurry of activity as Trump insisted there was "no going back" in his campaign to seize the semi-autonomous Danish territory. He also posted a text from the head of NATO, accused Britain of "stupidity," and shared what appeared to be images generated by artificial intelligence depicting the American flag over Greenland and Canada.
