Trump says 'no going back' on Greenland takeover
President Donald Trump launched a fresh blitz of aggressive messages aimed at NATO allies over his determination to take control of Greenland, ratcheting up tensions with European leaders just as he prepares to attend the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
The escalating argument over the Arctic island has threatened to reignite a trade war with Europe and upend the NATO alliance that has underpinned Western security for decades. Trump is due to arrive in the Swiss Alpine ski-resort town on Jan. 21 for the meeting of global elites from the worlds of business, government and culture.
But ahead of that, in the early hours of Jan. 20, Trump unleashed a series of trolling Truth Social posts that took aim at French President Emmanuel Macron. In one of his posts, Trump shared a message sent to him from Macron that said, "I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland." A French official confirmed the message's authenticity to USA TODAY.
Trump also posted a doctored image that showed European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen sitting in the White House's Oval Office next to a map showing Greenland and Canada as American territory. He posted a separate AI image that depicts him him planting an American flag on Greenland alongside Vice President JD Vance and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Next to them is a sign reading: "US TERRITORY. EST 2026."

Every day this madman is allowed to continue to be in power is an indictment of how the Republican party is morally bankrupt.
I know I'm preaching to the choir, but my god/dess, this country is in a shambles.
