If you need another reason IEEPA tariffs are idiocy, you have one.
Europe Playing a Dangerous Game Says Trump
Truth Social Link: We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that! Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake. On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable. Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question. Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland. The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern Day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are currently being spent on Security Programs having to do with “The Dome,” including for the possible protection of Canada, and this very brilliant, but highly complex system can only work at its maximum potential and efficiency, because of angles, metes, and bounds, if this Land is included in it. The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries that have put so much at risk, despite all that we have done for them, including maximum protection, over so many decades. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A Dangerous Situation
This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable.
Indeed. The US is a a NATO country and Trump’s actions against another NATO country put the whole world at risk
Tariffs as a Weapon
Trump is repeatedly using tariffs as a weapon, not as a trade matter.
At a minimum he did it to Brazil, India, Canada, Mexico, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland.
NATO Treaty
By signed treaty, NATO countries are obliged to come to the defense of any other NATO country attacked.
They are obliged to protect Greenland from an invasion by the US.
Moreover, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland don’t have any say in the matter between Trump’s ignorant bluster.
The purchase of Greenland is a matter between the US, Denmark, and Greenland.
The irony is that had Trump not been such an ass, Greenland was on the verge of breaking away from Denmark.
Instead, after Trump’s threats, Greenland voted to improve ties to with Denmark instead of voting to become totally independent.
Hannity a Trump Parrot Moron
Who the flying F is Hannity to tell Greenland what is best for Greenland? And it is irrelevant how Denmark has treated Greenland.
What matters (and nothing else) is Greenland voted to remain tied to Denmark, and Greenland says it is not for sale.
Greenland says No! to Trump
Greenland’s Lawmakers tell Trump No Amount of Money Can Buy Greenland
There’s no sum of money from Donald Trump that would persuade Greenlanders to join the US, two Greenlandic lawmakers in the Danish parliament said, underscoring opposition that spans the territory’s political landscape.
Any attempt by the US president to entice the Arctic island with cash is doomed to fail and only risks pushing Greenlanders further away, said Aaja Chemnitz, one of two Greenland representatives in the Danish legislature, where she chairs the committee focused on the territory’s affairs.
“No amount of money can buy our national soul,” Chemnitz said in an interview in Copenhagen on Friday. “It’s disrespectful to think that you can buy a people. What use is a one-off payment when your entire foundation is being torn away?”
Going to War with NATO
Trump Will Take Greenland the ‘Easy Way’ or the ‘Hard Way’ by Force
On January 10, 2026, I noted Trump Will Take Greenland the ‘Easy Way’ or the ‘Hard Way’ by Force
Let me put this politely: The brazenness and gall of this arrogant, ignorant ass is stunning.
I am thoroughly disgusted there is not a 100 percent immediate rebuke in the Senate of this “I want Greenland so I will just take it” attitude.
And there should be enough votes to override any veto. Instead, only a handful are speaking up.
Quite frankly, we are under the control of a moronic, erratic madman backed by mindless sycophants and cowards.
If you defend Trump’s statements on Greenland, then look in the mirror to see someone with a huge problem.
One idiot responded “We’d all be better if we did not think we were experts on foreign policy”
Actually, we would all be better off if we had a president who respected the constitution, respected treaties, and was not a perpetual liar.
Instead, I repeat …
Quite frankly, we are under the control of a moronic, erratic madman backed by mindless sycophants and cowards.
*** Three Star MISHelin award for being so clear…
***** Five Star Michelin Award for such tasty bites of truth in journalism.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With this administration in power, it is imperative that you own gold, silver or the mining stocks.
If Trump is being so successful with his policies, why is the 10 year yield up to 4.24%? This is the highest it has been since September 2025. Weren’t those rate cuts since then supposed to lower rates?
I smell a boycott of us debt and products because of Trump.
The USA more than deserves the collective suffering this would lead to, if it were to continue in size.
2nd term, too. and he crushed it. the problem kids, is that democracy works. amerikans are nihilist warmongers in the majority. hat tip the republic by plato and ominous parallels by peikoff. it’s hard for most old geezers to admit this. the younger generation seems easier to digest an ugly truth about our empire. the rest is eyewash. fixing this has only one solution. an empire that crumbles and busts up. no other way.
You didn’t get the memo. God wants us to have other people’s resources. It’s red, white and blue and called “manifest destiny”. We are chosen!
The chosen ones are others. But Trump is one of them, a Chabadnik, so there you go.
“Quite frankly, we are under the control of a moronic, erratic madman backed by mindless sycophants and cowards“
Very much this. And as soon as the enablement stops, the madness stops. Hopefully there will be enough republican congresspeople and enough judges to do their job and stop the enablement.
The US now run by a head of the Mafia? According to this opinion piece from Europe. At least it’s out in the open..
Donald Trump with scenes from “The Godfather”
US President Trump is threatening Germany and other countries with 25% additional import tariffs if they oppose the US purchase of Greenland. A scene reminiscent of mafia films, in which a shop owner is forced to sell his business to the mafia, otherwise … And this at a time when the value of the dollar is hanging by a thread.

Article makes the valid point that DJT has become a major problem for all European conservative parties that were cautiously defending him before. They will lose votes to the left. Exactly what we need over here. Many thanks for finishing the job of finally ruining of what was left of the EUDSSR
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/thousands-march-in-greenland-against-trumps-threats-to-take-over-the-arctic-island
Hey, we’ll give them free streaming, an NHL team, free healthcare, toxic waste dumps, secret bio testing labs, and eventually a government system where politicians are bought off by US billionaires, and complete subjugation. How could they possibly turn that down??? And remember you can’t leave, ever! 😂
There is a hard reality here. The world is running out of resources. AI requires vast amounts of energy; population growth means more food and essential elements like platinum and cooper are in decreasing supply. The worlds resources aren’t sufficient to meet the coming needs of a premier country. In a way, Trump is a traditional American practicing “manifest destiny” god wants us to have other people’s stuff. So, we steal Venezuela’s oil and Greenland. None of this will end well.
Why should Trump respect any other nations, anyway? /s
a more execrable human being has never been POTUS.
it’s inconceivable to me how may U.S> citizens are going along with this insanity.
Greenland will be renamed Sudetenland.
Its clear if this kind of duress and undue influence is accepted, it will not end here it will simply move on to the next issue, and then the next.
Greenland is home to the last group of Injuns we haven’t wiped off the map of N America.
Nothing could be more URGENT than to finish the job !
/s
Mish, I wouldn’t expect Senate to say anything. The US is an imperial state (I mean it in geostrategic terms and I mean it in neutral way, nothing personal). Why should Senate hinder enlargement of the empire? I would expect Senate to step in if Trump’s Greenland adventure starts turning into a war with EU. It will be interesting to watch what EU will do. Will Brussels clown team jump on plane and fly to Beijing to do full Carney as strategic hedge against Trump and his threats? I can’t imagine that. Think of von der Leyden, Poland and Baltic dwarfs.They depend on the US. This Greenland saga is breaking point for EU as well as Macron, Merz, Meloni and some others start talking about peace with Putin.
> start talking about peace with Putin.
The morons finally seem to have realized Russia is the less worse of the two evils. And Oreshniks for some additional motivation. Europe West and East finally joining forces – great achievement of DJT
Quite likely the string-pullers in the background dog-fighting between each other. Panic breaking out as it is all coming unstuck. Excellent.
to wit (slightly OT), and 1 of the things DJT is getting right, though probably inadvertently
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/globalist-deep-state-panic-mode-after-trumps-cash-cut
Well if Alex Newman holds the opinion then everyone knows it’s a fact … lol
There will be some boycotts of G 20 and FIFS in US.Trump will tariff their exports to US further.
Please read FIFA instead of FIFS.
Deranged, self-centered lunatics seldom stop on their own. The good news is they eventually do as they end up going so far when even the idiots who follow them can’t take it anymore. The clock is ticking.
Trump has two battalions on standby now for duty in Minnesota
Waltz has activated the MN National Guard
ICE says they have 3000 on the ground in MN
And there are all the town cops, country sheriffs departments and state police
All because Jack Lang was all teary-eyed today in Minneapolis when only 10 fellow white supremacists showed up to rally with him and burn a Koran and he had to run from a thousand or more counter-protesters
Got nailed by a water balloon. Scurried back to his hotel.
yeah, but i am sure the next thing to happen is that more White supremacists will organize a bigger march.
In the Arctic cold? LOL!
Bring ’em on – they got lotsa water balloons!
They’re already parading through the city in ICE costumes.
Trump has succeeded wildly in turning the entire world against the US. It is amazing how he has unified the entire world in opposition to this megalomaniac’s insane delusions. It may be that a third world war is precipated in which every nation must stand against this treasonous despot. There will be no elections in November.
There will be elections, because elections are administered by the states, and all kinds of politicians, from school boards to aldermen, mayors, state legislatures, and the like — have to run for office.
Including blue states.
So Trump has to face the music in ten months.
I really hope so, and i even think that’s likely. But I do not think elections are 100% certain to happen
If you say “elections might not happen” then they do, who looks bad and who looks better compared to if you just let it play out?
He’s been busy gaming the vote for a while, with lots of distractions to keep everyone preoccupied.
It’s as if Trump doesn’t even realize his acting like a belligerent jerk is only increasing Greenlanders or any other country’s revulsion and resolve to NOT join up with the USA.
Europe should directly sanction Trump and the Trump family and all their businesses. That will get his attention.
I have been says this for a long time….but Europe has no spice, their leaders are jellyfish.
“People don’t want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? The common people don’t want war; neither in Russia, nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany.” – Hermann Göring
But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.
Gilbert : There is one difference. In a democracy, the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.
Göring : Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.
> But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy
… under instruction of those profiting from wars – that should be abundantly clear by now. Macron, Starmer, Merz, vdL, all put into place by those calling the shots. Think global finance capital. Owned by Whom?
Methinks Trump is doing his best to have the Scotus rule against him regarding tariffs. Between this and bragging about how much revenue he is bringing in it’s really making it a reach to rule for his emergency tariff powers
This is the time most dangerous for the whole world.
Falling star is desperate.
There is no solution to multiple problems.
Most obvious problems are –
President can’t solve the problems. And can’t explain the people.
So desperate that WW3 might be chosen as US seems still has the mightiest
military power.

“ massive problem, and one being addressed by The Administration. Not much fruit from their labor yet, but lots in various pipelines waiting to be unleashed. Should be interesting over the next 5-6 months or so imo.”
I don’t believe it. Not when Trump is asking for:
1. $500B for the military
2. $700B to buy Greenland
3. Billions to restore Obamacare subsidies
4. $2000 for every American for ‘tariff rebates’
5. On top of a $4T tax break for billionaires
You really expect good results in ‘5 or 6 months’?!
The US has treaties with Greenland/Denmark on NATO bases since 1951. It was updated in the early 2000s. The US officially recognized Greenland as part of Denmark *by treaty* in 1917 with the purchase of the Danish West Indies (now Virgin Islands). Just like in business, Trump ignores laws and prior agreements.
When Denmark accorded Greenland autonomy that changed the equation. As soon as they could the Greenlanders understandably started shopping around for ways to develop the island and Chinese companies stepped up of course. For them it is not about profits but about strategy. Obviously we can’t allow that so we had to get Denmark to veto the projects and each time China came back again and again. It is no surprise then that the US decided to put an end to it.
Bravo, Mr. Shedlock. Your statements are accurate and explicitly correct. I cannot understand why Americans are allowing this madness to continue. Trump is a profound disgrace to America, and what it has always stood for. After watching what the ICE goons are doing in American cities, no one in any nation would want to become “Federated” with America. Trump is playing an insane, dangerous game, and seems interested in making an enemy of the entire World. It is astonishing to see this crazy old man attack the allies of America. Like the New York Times wrote recently, this is not the way a President acts. And what is clear, is that this madness will destroy NATO, which is perhaps the plan. The greatest security threat that America now faces, comes from the current Trump Administration. The USA, without it’s Constitution, and under the control of a greed-driven Emperor-wannabe, may well become a nightmare entity that triggers an unlimited war-spiral.
No one anywhere, wants to be part of this new militarized America, if they are sane and wise and rational. Trump is not putting America First, he is destroying the Republican Ideals that created and built America. Wise Conservatives need to ses this, and help stop what is happening.
The US and China should attack Australia together. China gets the western 60% and the US gets the east – and Tasmania. Put a tariff on France to make them pay for the attack. Then tariff Germany until New Zealand agrees to join the US.
😂
To hell with nation’s sovereignty, Trump’s ego needs to eat
If this nonsense continues, I can see an unofficial, but de-facto European boycott of American products.
Well, they can’t get Russian gas, since Biden blew up Nordstream. If they don’t buy American LNG, they’ll be doubly hosed. They could stop using American social media and use WeChat. They already don’t buy American cars or ag products. What’s left – movies?
Soon ~ Canadian LNG
good point. who is best in class to invest that way.
Last US movie I saw was Civil War, which seems sort of prescient.
Given up on Hollywood BS body count films, same tripe over and over again,
buddy gets murdered by drugs cartel and hero seeks revenge. yawn.
Let’s have a film about a tired old dictator who destroys his countries reputation and economy in three years, it would be a sellout.
No need to watch movies. Reality beats Hollywood hands down. Medical Rockefeller Mafia runs endless sequels, just 1 example. Completely free of charge, frequently ends with premature death. Your death or that of your family members / relatives /friends. How’s that for realism.
US Debt
Equally upsetting is the oil revenue being deposited in Quatar. For better or worst, we paid for Trump’s invasion and now he takes the oil revenue for his own personal use. Putting in Quatar. What the f…? I thought this was America First. it is Trump First – and the rest of us are stupid idiots for letting him rob brazenly from Americans for his own benefit.
Quatar did buy him a 747, clearly bribery works!
The most important part is that the Greenland ers suddenly have realized they have a very desirable island and suddenly everybody wants it. A couple of years ago only military experts talked about it and now Europe is sending troops, planes and ships to back Denmark. Trump’s message is not for Denmark or Europe. His message is to the Greenlanders saying come with us and you will get rich or stay with Denmark and get welfare. You can see the bidding war shaping up and the US can outbid Denmark and Europe. Greenland is a colony with the typical political setup of native people headed by a non-native white dude as PM. Denmark is understandably angered because it is the last remaining part of their empire but the decision is no longer up to them but to the people of Greenland. Denmark and France are the only countries in Europe still with colonies. The others don’t care much about it but will give lip service as long as it doesn’t cost them too much. France has bigger prestige stake as does Scandinavia however. Trump planted the seed in the Greenlanders minds and it is ripening nicely.
Based on everything I have read, the reaction of most Greenlanders is similar to the reaction of most Canadians, when Trump said that Canada should be part of the US. The result in Canada was the Conservative leader lost a 20 point lead in the polls, and Carney won because he was willing to defend Canadian independence.
I suspect you will always be able to find some who are willing to be bought out. But the more Trump threatens folks, the more likely they are to react negatively.
Mark Carney is an English plant, he is also an Oligarch. He’s just more polished than Trump that is the only difference.
You can’t compare Greenland to Canada. Greenland is a true colony as I explained. Now tell me why has the Greenland government elected by its people kept trying to make investment deals with Chinese companies? It’s because they want to develop the island and get tax income and jobs for the Greenlanders and I can’t blame for that. Our way would give them money up front and development as well as full autonomy. Greenlanders are not very attached to Denmark and if given a much better alternative they will probably take it unless Denmark doesn’t allow it then we have confirmation that it is the traditional setup. Have you read up on how Iceland became independent from Denmark? If not you should. One takeaway though. Only Denmark sent fighters to Greenland as a show of “force” and they were F-35s. None of the other Scandinavian countries sent fighters even though they easily could have. France only refueled them using one of their tankers.
For Canada, you may want to blame Trump for Carney’s win and there is some truth to it but the ultimate blame should be on Canadian voters. They chose. They made their own bed.
.
> The result in Canada was the Conservative leader lost a 20 point lead in the polls
Same thing happening in Europe just now. All conservative parties – those with a last remainder of common sense – extremely embarrassed by having sided with the would-be-gone-mad dictator (though he still gets the odd couple of things right) and are losing votes to the left. More immigrants will be flooding the place, Western Europe a lost continent. As planned by the known actors.
The Prime Minister does “look Danish”, but his mother is Inuit.
Yes he is mixed race but with a majority of Danish blood through more than one generation. Growing up he said he was rejected by the other kids because he looked and acted too Danish. His predecessor was a full-blooded Greenlander as well as the present leader of the opposition. Both are pragmatic and interested in Trump’s offer. 89% of Greenlanders define themselves as Inuit and not Danish and they are not going elbows up. Actually in many ways it resembles France’s territory in the Pacific, New Caledonia.
Nobody is getting rich over Greenland. It has been tried before. Stop watching Fox news.
I never watch it.
If US citizens were getting so rich, there wouldn’t be $112,646 debt per each citizen and US housing sales wouldn’t be in the gutter due to unaffordability, 1 in 8 people woudn’t have to be on SNAP, one in four people woudn’t have to be on Medicaid, the gov’t wouldn’t have to periodically print trillions to monetize these debts causing CPI to rise 25% in just five years. But even after all that money printing, the debt has ballooned even higher, so beware, Greenland, do you want to join up with that?
Ask the Greenlanders.
Then why does Greenland with a $4B GDP rank lower than even the smallest US state?
Go look at a globe, and see how far north it is.
There’s many, many, many other places where natural resources are far cheaper to extract and process.
It’s not about natural resources. I thought that point has been settled.
Trumps message is not to any foreigner. It is to all Americans and it screams “Please forget about my involvement with Epstein! I’ll start any war to make you forget, promise!”
Remember when all conservatives used to think highly of a nation’s sovereignty? How quickly Trump made most of them forget.
Trump bailed on helping the Iranians, just like Biden and Obama. His betrayal will cost the republican party the elections in November and the presidential election in 2028. We’ll have a democrat president, Newsom, a democratic senate and house.
Anything good that Trump did will be undone in a few days. Americans should visit their local gun store soon to prepare. As for Greenland, Trump just has to reactivate and enlarge the dozens of military bases the USA had on Greenland since WWII. Why that isn’t an option is very troubling. The USA can partner with Greenland to develop any rare earths, it mustn’t take them.
I think Vance needs to declare Trump mentally unstable and not fit to lead the country. A sad day for America. I wonder if the Qatari 747 had anything to do with Trump’s backing off Iran? Just imagine the slogans the democrats will come up with for the elections: “Trump Lied, Iranians Died. Trust No Republicans.”
“Helping the Iranians”. lol. Ok Lindsey Graham. Despite the CIA – Mossad backed uprising, Trump delayed the attack because the pentagon couldn’t guarantee success in toppling their government because it is popular among the irania people.
Wow, found te Russian bot account!
What are you drinking, or are you waking up slowly???
The Danes and Greenlanders have said the US can put as many military bases in Greenland as they need. So it is an option.
American companies are already producing and exploring for minerals in Greenland. That is also not a problem.
Greenland has always been available for the US work with in partnership.
There is no need to take it over.
lol. Visit their local gun store to prepare for .. what? From ICE?
Who protected Greenland from the Germans during WW2?
What does it matter?
Yes it does and for the same reason.
Why would more relevant than what.
The US protected Greenland because it was a National Security issue, and with the global power shift that is happening, the same is true today.
BTW, I’m not a fan of the Orange man,neither sleepy Joe.
The US Empire is ending, and historically every time an Empire collapsed, there was chaos.
Good to know you are not a sycophant….lol.
Even the Kaiser didn’t flee to Greenland.
Did Germany attack Greenland?
The US made an agreement to protect Greenland as Denmark was occupied by Nazi Germany. Subsequent to the war, the US signed another agreement with Greenland allowing for NATO bases. Please note: At one time the US had nearly 20K troops in Greenland. This number was reduced over time especially post Soviet Union. Trump did not increase US presence from 2017-2021. Instead in 2019: “Well a lot of things can be done,” Trump said on Sunday. “Essentially it’s a large real estate deal. A lot of things can be done.” While at same time Kudlow mentioned “a lot of minerals”.
In response, the tariffed nations wondered why the USA keeps kicking itself in the balls.
Reminds me of a joke. How do you know Taco is lying? Answer: He’s kicking himself in the balls.
Yes, those around him are cowards. THEY GET PAID to shut the fuck up/
Straight action from plato s republic where the Tyrant first come in power by boasting he promote liberty more than his opponenents and how he stays in power.
This is a scorched earth President. He has no friends, personally or as President. He has no loyalty or alliances based on shared values. He is the actual antithesis of American values and the role that we have played in the world for the last 100 years.
It takes decades, or longer, of words backed by actions to build alliances and the world order of multilateral cooperation along the lines of shared values, agreed-upon principles, and rules. We are getting very close, if not already there, to crossing the lines that will shatter this earned trust, and it will literally take decades, or longer, to regain it.
Is this really what Trump voters want for their children and the next generation or two of Americans in exchange for tamping down “woke” rhetoric and making fossil fuels great again?
SERIOUSLY, IS THIS WHAT THOSE WHO SUPPORT THIS PRESIDENT WANT FOR AMERICA??
It is well worth it if dark-skinned people don’t get as much as lighter-skinned people! Think MAGA, when America wasn’t woke and you call a spade a spade! /s
There is some truth there, but it is much more than that.
At some point it just doesn’t make sense to do business with idiots and Morons like Trump. We are there I think.
obviously that can’t happen overnight but clearly the shift away has started.
This is how it starts. Trump will again and again state that his reason for acquiring Greenland is about our safety. It is of course not, but he will continue the drumbeat and then dumb folks start to repeat his lie and less dumb folks who listen to Fox will then repeat his lie. This is how he created the fake narrative that the 2020 Election was stolen. No facts just an incessant drumbeat.
People need to start calling out his next move before normalization of taking Greenland happens. Trump thinks he is special, clever, unique and will be crushed when his repetitious pattern to EVERYTHING is called out from the onset. He is just a fat orange old man.
It won t. For a matter of comparison, check how Philipp the fair behave. He asked the pope to call him the very christian and ended up sending an expedition to kill 1. There were of course many other stuff that showed that word No is not Ok for him.
“Hannity a Trump Parrot Moron”
Michael Savage calls Hannity “the wallbanger” because Hannity used to work in construction. Hannity should go back to playing with a hammer.
Hannity is scum. He got caught out coaching a nurse for Terri Shaivo on what to say before a live interview. He will say and do anything for ratings just like Tucker will. It is all about the benjamins.
National security, living space. Noticed the rhyme?
Don’t forget Canada – they have also sent troops to Greenland.
Yes, we’d be at war with our neighbor.
Good, maybe we could surrender early and get decent healthcare without bankruptcy.
Now that’s positive thinking!
Greenland, then Canada, then Cuba, then Mexico. That’s why he needs 1.5 T war budget. Dept of war has 1 purpose.
That would take a lot more than 1.5T more like 5T at least.
Canada should offer Greenland to become a province with similar protections as offered to their own indigenous peoples. That would also send Trump into orbit
Indeed – much more logical.
There’s way more women in Denmark than in Greenland. Why not just take Denmark?
Finally someone thinks out of the box!
Useless women, most are over 14 so who wants them/s
Epstein and Trump only want the young ones…
Is Trump Winning Bigly on the World Stage?The death of U.S. primacy has been greatly exaggerated.
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/is-trump-winning-bigly-on-the-world-stage/
Trump might be using Greenland as a bargaining chip to rattle the E.U. The European Union is in dire financial shape even while they talk like they have unlimited wealth. The Ukraine War would already be over if America had already stopped most of the funding. Little financial support comes from Europe to support an ongoing war. Maybe Trump gets Geenland for the Europeans getting the continued weapons support from America? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gq1e7k2j8o.amp
These tactics that you speculate on are not skillful negotiating; they are mob tactics. Mob tactics can get results, but that is only because there is no real loyalty among criminals, and an ally one day might find a horse’s head in his bed the next. The Mob has no respect for the greater good or win/win; the Mob only knows threats, extortion, and leverage.
The truth is these countries in NATO are all criminal, like all criminals they all eventually turn on each other. These are word of WAR, Russia, China, Iran, North Korea are laughing their asses off I bet. They set out to collapse Russia & got their ass kicked & now they turned on each other. Also, all these countries aided & abetted this insane behaviour by entertaining this idiot by not retaliating in full to his threats. If The Grifter in Cherif hits you with 25% tariffs you hit him back with 25%, he hits you with 100%, hit him with 100% & for good measure make all tariffs begin 1 day earlier than his.
Get this straight! NATO nations are not turning on each other. The United States is not turning on other NATO countries. This is only Donald Trump vs. the world, inclusive of his own country. Donald Trump is a deviate narcacist and is filled with grievance and hate. Less than half of voters irresponsibly handed him the power of the Presidency and the world is paying the price. Our children will pay the price.
Some day maybe trump and his minions will pay the price.
Bingo!
+100
This guy is not super smart but he is not dumb either. What is this really about. Epstein distraction, Russia kompromat, his rich mate putting him up to it, a wish to get on Mount Rushmore….maybe a mix of all.
At the moment i think he is 100% focussed on mid terms. To me this is just another attempt at chaos with a view to doing some weird shit in November. He is not acting like a person who is trying to increase vote share.
Did you see that smile he had with his second hand peace prize? He LIVES for that stupid shit.
Fair point
I think that we need to see massive protests in the United States, especially red states. ICE can’t be everywhere at once. Join in, no violence, just line the streets and carpet the public squares.
I already noted here a few years ago that Joe Dante’s film “The Second Civil War” was perhaps prophetic, and perhaps also “Idiocracy”. This also applies to Western Europe.
Same story as before. Do the people of Greenland have self determination? Most of the people there would be happy to receive money for the purchase of Greenland by the US. The issue is Denmark has stopped the population from voting. This is the end game and access to vital minerals. The issue is you have a bunch of liberals wanting a pound of flesh stopping the wealth and development of the people who live on Greenland. Give the people of Greenland some green dollars and let them by wealthy not the liberals in Denmark.
Christ you are ignorant, money can’t buy everything. I am growing increasingly pissed off with your nations arrogance, you desperately need taking down a peg or two.
That’s another year I will not travel to the US and spend my money there,
Don’t you have enough problems at home without colonising elsewhere.
I really am done with the US.
Where is your navy that protect the Irish coast and shipping? Oh, I forgot – Ireland does not have a navy.
What has Ireland got to do with this article or his comment? He calls himself Limey which is slang for British. What’s wrong with you? Some of you commentors have no brains at all.
Thanks Jack !!! He really is as thick as pigsh*t
All the amusement parks here are non-smoking.
Ya obviously ignorant & stupid, wealth isn’t fiat currency is it. Real wealth is their country, their home & all it has. Who wants Dollars? Your comment is wrong & ignorant on so many levels I feel embarrassed for you.
The dollar is backed by an Air Force, Navy and Army and the will to use it if negotiation fail ultimately. The world works on trade and choose to use the dollar. The reason is the US keeps internationa trade open. Do you want a US treasury or Yuan denominated bond? Last time I checked the grocery store was not taking silver or gold.
The dollar has fallen from 108 to 98 since Donald Trump started with his stupid rants about taking over Canada and Greenland. Gold has doubled and silver tripled. Nations are selling dollars and trade is moving to China. Trump is isolating our nation and destroying it and its freedoms. Did you pass the 8th grade? Or, were you too challenged?
Trump is destroying the dollar along with our credibility.
Cheery picking DXY data is disingenuous. Since 2011, the trend is clearly up. If you want to look at the chart, the DXY goes up when the rest of world had has got issues. (115) ie Covid. If you thought the US has debt problems, look around the world and especially China. Gold is just the reflection of increased debt around the world. Gold prices are being driven by overseas buyers not wanting their own currency. China will eventually fail because of demographics and misplaced resources; remember the stock market is not the real economy. Cheaper dollars means more trade for the US. As far as education, perhaps you should not swallow the propaganda taught by Keynesians. Look into the dollar milkshake. THE US DOES NOT PRINT MONEY – ONLY BANK RESERVES ARE CREATED BY FED unlike other countries.
Sorry kiddo, I was speaking about Trumps second term.
And Trump and Epstein go after 14 year old girls Cherries not their Cheeries.
No one wants American products with Trump in charge. Look at Teslas global auto sales since he played sycophant…
As they say about Teslas in Europe, “0 to 1939 in four seconds”.
They would know.
Yes America could easily buy off a thousand Greenlanders. Great for one generation then a complete culture has gone.
It’s not even necessary. It is all about Trump as an individual and nothing else.
Grow a little bit of a brain America…you look so pathetic now.
Actually I should restate that. It is good to see an increasing realisation of what is happening to the US. Maga is definitely in decline as your hero increasingly screws you. Maga you look like a load of pathetic morons who don’t even realise how pathetic you look.
A national embarrassment.
Cultures die and change all the time just like species because they are weak and adapt. Cultures are not sacred. I dont have the same culture as my ancestors 100 years ago and nor will my desendants in 100 years.
That’s a direct lie or amazing ignorance.
Greenland was poised to break away from Denmark in the 2025 election until Trump started messing around.
Pro-independents did gain ground, but the vote was to remain with Denmark.
If there was another election today, independents would get clobbered IMO.
Google it and you will find repeated polls that Greenland does not want a bunch of snoots in copenhagen telling them what to do and favor idependence. According to BBC story 5 of 6 parties want independence but disagree about pace of independence. I
Yes that is why they voted to break away – but later rather than sooner.
Very few people in Greenland want to join the U.S.; recent polls (early 2025) show around 6-8% of Greenlanders favor becoming part of the U.S., with an overwhelming majority (around 85%) preferring to remain with Denmark or gain independence, though independence itself is conditional on maintaining living standards.
86% in the US opposed to Taking Greenland by force
That means there are only 14% idiots (a new low) for any poll.
Now what about that do you fail to understand?
Or are you capable of thinking outside Trump’s ass?
Excuse me, what an absolute D—head! Donnie, go home, ya drunk!
US exports and tourism are getting slammed as a result of Trump. Gold and silver exports are masking this. The COMEX and GLD are seeing a far higher percentage of people asking for the physical metal and it is almost certain that a Force Majeure settlement will happen to clear the paper mess of re-hypothication.
Three days ago the US mint suspended the sales of Silver coins and Canada’s mint closed their silver sales yesterday.
US silver eagles went from a listed price of $91 to $164 for the base grade tools of coins. However they are unavailable.
I was an idiot for not stacking when it was cheep but fortunately I have quite a bit of silver and gold mining shares. I expect blowout earnings reports this quarter as margins have increased by 250%.
Mining companies margins and earnings make Nvidia’s look paltry.
Now who the F%&k asked for this? Seriously, who? Have I missed the mass protest in the streets demanding we occupy Greenland? And where the F%&k is congress? Time to grow a pair of nuts, Republicans!
I am interested in owning Greenland about as much as I’m interested in giving myself a lobotomy. I imagine most Americans feel the same way. Especially when we have so much more important and pressing matters in this country to attend to.
No one asked for this, but no one should be surprised that this is what we got. All you have to do is look at Donald Trump’s life, the people that he surrounded himself with (Roy Coyn, Roger Stone, Mike Tyson, the UFC owner, the WWF owners, Don King, and so on and so on) and look at the people who he handed power to, Stephen Miller, Pete Hegeseth, Pam Bondi, and Robert Kennedy, Jr. for god sake.
Donald Trump will burn it all down if he is allowed. He cares about nothing but his own vanity and wealth. He has stated many times that he is all about ratings, and to him, ratings come from exposure, good or bad; it does not matter.
yep. burn baby burn, uh drill
Neo-Caligula, er Nero.
Don’t need no stink’in law!
Just my lola-express way morality!
Nobody. What they did ask for was the Epstein files. Apparently pedo pig misheard.
No one may have asked for it but when fresh water runs out in a few decades Greenland would be able to supply water to replace it. My guess is this is all about getting water in a couple of decades.
Not a chance.
We’re going to run the Great Lakes dry?
The odds of him being removed from office are going up.
They need to dust off the paperwork that outlines the legal way to remove him for being fucking crazy
86/47 25th, impeach or God
God would be faster, now would be good, God’s busy right now, OK five minutes from now.
Depends whether God is a conspiracy theorist.
Guess I should have put the /s at the end. There is no magic man in the sky. Maybe a spaghetti monster?
Not that useful unless Vance goes too.
Oh yeah, impeachment worked so well the first two times they tried it on Trump…
strike three coming up!
I have a hard time taking this at face value. Excuse me while I put on my tinfoil hat but aren’t two of Trumps motivations to keep the price of oil low while eventually revaluing gold to offset liabilities?
Taking out Maduro while leaving the rest of the socialist regime in charge is only signalling, not effecting regime change. It may have a temporary impact on further depressing oil prices, at least until people become aware that significant investment is required in what is currently an uninvestible country.
Similarly the additional posturing around Greenland and Iran can further underpin the price of gold. If one desires to revalue gold to help offset liabilities then one would want to revalue from the highest starting price possible, to obtain the highest revaluation.
Maybe this is too simplistic.
It’s signaling that the Deep State wants continued war with Russia and war with China. Watch Brian Berletic’s NewAtlas for details on think tank planning for naval blockades restricting trade at key chokepoints, which includes the Arctic region.
If TRUMP proceeds and GREENLAND/DENMARK and EUROPE continue to resist TRUMP will succeed in pushing EUROPE into the arms of RUSSIA . . . Just like the U.S. has done with RUSSIA and CHINA . . . This is how an EMPIRE declines . . . it alienates its Allies . . .
Alienates it’s own citizens you mean.
Extremism breeds extremism. For 30 plus years we have been lurching further to the left and further to the right. History repeats itself and here we are. Only the duped and naive think it can’t happen here and all the while Congress and SCOTUS snooze.
Congress and SCOTUS are not asleep they are wide awake and complicit.
The funniest thing is that Denmark is one of the most Russophobic countries in Europe. They even recently spent a fortune buying American weapons for an army entirely dedicated to fighting Russia. And it’s the Americans who want to take Greenland from them…
Mike Shedlock AKA Mish and readers guess which billionaire told Donny to purchase or invade Greenland?
Answer Ron Lauder note Ron also told Donny about rare earth minerals in Ukraine note Ron is rapidly investing in Greenland spring water hydropower 4 an aluminum smelter etcetera
Follow the money
Note feel free to check out my facts
You may have heard of Este Lauder and Ron inherited money from cosmetics
The billionaire whisperers
It is always interesting to look at the network around Trump. Ron Lauder is named as the billionaire who has pushed Trump to take over Greenland. How many people know that Ron Lauder’s daughter is married to the top contender for the Federal Reserve Chairman job?
KPStaufen do you know their names and I am believing you
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Warsh
Yeah I think the real reason for Greenland is the water resource in the glacial ice. It’s not that far from the East coast so a pipeline could be laid and fresh water shipped to the US mainland from melting glaciers (its no longer than most oil pipelines).
The US is going to have real water shortages in the mid west in a few decades as aquifers dry up and this could be the plan to get the replacement water.
Nope that water pipeline would not work I was pointing out that Donny is a servant for the bilionaires
Not a chance. It’s 3000 km away. Desalination is much cheaper. Or take over Canada. Much closer and the most fresh water in the world. And it doesn’t have to melt. After Greenland, Canada is next, if he can get away with it.
When they run out of water, they’ll be looking at the Great Lakes.
I know a garden hose looks like it supplies a lot of water, but the reality is a pipeline from Greenland to the USA would have to be massive to even begin to make a dent in how much water we use. It would make the Alaska pipeline look like the straw in a 7-11 slurpy. New York City – 9million people – uses a billion gallons of water a day.
What if Trump has gone nuts? How is the 25th amendment stuff supposed to work if nobody dares to check him up?
What if?
Exchanging Trump for Vance is like changing your shirt to get rid of the stench and filth of shitting in your pants!
Vance is also a war mongering piece of shit!
Terminal TDS. Get a lobotomy . Vance would be a vast improvement
If I got a lobotomy – I’d become MAGA like!
The entire world is being alienated by Trumps insane antics. I would not be surprised to see all nations on earth stand up to this bully with 100% tariffs on all American goods and the total embargo on shipping anything to the US.
Trump needs a good swift kick in his shriveled old nutsack!
That’s the only way bullies know their bluff has been called.
Look on the bright side: Maybe they’ll kick us out of NATO and save us vast billions.
Trump is 110% SHAMELESS CORRUPTION AND IGNORANCE. I have no idea how we can make it 3 more years with him.

Chris was singing the Joe-Biden-Is-Sharp-As-A-Tack song for 4 years. He’s nobody to quote. He’s also a lying POS.
