Mr. President, can you rule out [crazy thing]?
Normal president, thinking like a national leader, aims to reassure and avoid craziness in anticipation, says yes.
Trump, thinking like a TV producer, aims for current and future attention, says no.
Have to adjust questions to the new reality, media.

Q: Can you assure the world that as you try to get control of areas like Greenland or Panama you are not gonna use military or economic coercion?
TRUMP: No. I can't assure you. I'm not going to commit to that. It might be that you'll have to do something.
TRUMP: No. I can't assure you. I'm not going to commit to that. It might be that you'll have to do something.

Just to see if he answers "That's ridiculous" or "I have a team working on that" which would both be hilarious.
The Leopards are going to be dining well on faces of the 18-25 Trumpists and non-voters over the next 4 years.
THIS IS IT. The presidency is nothing more than his personal reality show. All about the constant attention, the ratings, the adoring fans.
There is no policy. No concern for the American people. It’s #politicalperformance
Has Elon Musk made an offer to buy Greenland to get cheap resources for his cars?
Why hasn’t he?
Is it because he’ll have to bye out the Australian company “Energy Transition Minerals” which demand a right to drill in Greenland?
Trump wants Greenland and Panama right now because: Musk needs cheap resources which he now buys in China. Trump needs money for tax reductions which he can’t get by raising debt ceiling.
But asking him questions like "will you rule out [thing]?" is worthless. He'll always say no, because that's confusing and attention-generating. He's not answering like a diplomat or policymaker.
Because Putin is a genius.
This is said only to distract from sentencing. Because the Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, international recognition would be necessary. As the Gulf of Mexico borders both Mexico and Cuba, both would have a vested interest in retaining the current name or agreeing to any changes.
The US used to call them “peace keeping missions”. That was…something.
MAGA is already upset about the cost of groceries.
Does Trump think they want to pay for 2 MORE countries’ infrastructure?
And he's never been interested in being a leader, national or otherwise. It's always been about grift, vengeance + beating consequences like jail.
the bf. The screaming emotions (deeply felt so you can't just dusmiss them) mixed with sheer idiocy is exhausting. Trump might not have a plan, but the others do.
Now, he wants to declare a state of emergency. Not even president yet
"There is a whirlwind in southern Morocco, the aajej, against which the fellahin defend themselves with knives."
Trump has become The Fellahin!!!!
Soon to declare war against the wind!!!!
We are so doomed as a planet!

Or was the reporter just trying to manifest a catchy headline? Magic 8-Ball says: "You may rely on it."
Instead of “Will you assure…”
Question : You’re talking about attacking sovereign nations with no legal standing, are your intentions to start wars?
How hard is it to ask this!
It is not normal for presidents to talk about using our military to acquire land from allies or foes for that matter.
Fun times.
He gives them something to talk about. Now they can write opinion pieces and their pundits can argue about it for hours. They love the non stop scandals, insane sound bytes, and the open corruption.
They weren't concerned that he was too old. They were concerned he would be boring.
Perhaps a psychiatric clinic for media explaining their paralysis could help them.
And now, members of the cabinet,
we'll take up old business.
- I wish to discuss the tariff.
- Sit down, that's new business.
No old business? Very well,
then we'll take up new business.
- Now about that tariff.
- Too late! That's old business already. Sit down.
and I know what to do with it
If you think you're paying too much now
just wait 'til I get through with it
I will not stand for anything
that's crooked or unfair
I'm strictly on the up &up
so everyone beware
If anyone's caught taking graft
and I don't get my share
1)
This is the land
of the free
The last man nearly ruined this place,
he didn't know what to do with it
If you think this country's bad off now
just wait 'til I get through with it
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Right now, they are figuring out how to implement 2025 even faster and testing the limits to convert us to a fake democracy/republic like russia.

We have to say no and be strong and get through it, or we'll have NO leverage AT ALL any more. None. We can't go that way.
"No, you know because many people are saying you have this thing there, and national security, and most people don't know, they don't realize it."
It's a free-for-all for would be autocrats.
Please make your children and grandchildren sign up for the military under Trump. After all, you voted for him and I'm sure you trust him. We will need more soldiers under his plans. Show your patriotism and get your kids and grandkids to sign up for the military. #NotKidding
