Spot the difference

Bullying and ill-gotten gains he hasn't earned.

All of his statements in support of territorial expansion are pursuant to his service to Putin and his oligarchs. He's not being quirky. He's being a threat to world security.

Praise Be!

Threatening to annex a NATO allies land is surely 25th territory.

ltlging.bsky.social•106 days ago

Yeah, you'd think so, but look at his Cabinet choices--lickspittles all. And JD has his job because of Junior.

He's distracting us. Look behind the curtain. 👀

Let’s keep the focus on this:

agateboy.bsky.social•107 days ago

we better start understanding that Trump and Putin are behind this together. Needless to say it's Putin's idea. This is about arctic oil and nothing else. This is not an offer to buy. This is the USA as a full partner in the Axis of Evil.

The Greenland and Canada fantasies are animated by a desire to control the Arctic region to gain access to oil and mineral reserves now that global warming has caused the ice caps to retreat. Also, there is now a northwest passage or shipping route free of ice.

🤷🏽‍♀️Deluded Felon47 wants to strip Greenland’s natural resources. Substitute Greenland 4 minerals get from China.
USA Greenland 🇬🇱 history:
1952, 🇺🇸 took land from Greenland indigenous, for🇺🇸base. Speculation➡️ 🇺🇸business wants Deluded Trump to make Greenland a USA 💰money making territory. Paging🇩🇰 Denmark

Writing ‘Trump says he’s going to do this’ or ‘going to do that’ before he does one f*cking thing is media winding people up for the sake of ratings. That’s a big part of the problem that will seemingly never change.

mnriverman.bsky.social•106 days ago

What is he distracting attention from?

retog.bsky.social•107 days ago

He’s diverting the press away from following his sentencing as a main news topic. We’ve seen this ploy a thousand times before. When will the press see thru the bullshit?

pgzulian.bsky.social•106 days ago

If Putin can do it, why not Trump. Xi is probably looking at Taiwan. With rightwing parties are set to do well or even win in some European elections, the perfect storm is upon us. And there is no Planet or Plan B.

lluttig.bsky.social•107 days ago

The Heritage boys dug out their mouldering 8th grade history book & it fell open to ‘manifest destiny’. 🤬

kerouaclives.bsky.social•107 days ago

if chump ordered the military to organize invasions of mexico, greenland, panama, and/or canada, would his generals obey? i'd love to see him do this in the first month of his administration. what a great failure to set the tone for the rest of his term.

ltlging.bsky.social•106 days ago

Unfortunately, there have already been articles written about how he can and will fire any general who gets in his way on whatever he wants. Look at who he's proposed at Defense Secretary, and man manifestly unfit to run a small charity. This is not going to end well.

drrobert2.bsky.social•106 days ago

More BS trump sideshow. FFS don’t fall for this.

sally-author.bsky.social•107 days ago

for trump:

facedamuzk.bsky.social•106 days ago

I. Absolutely. LOVE. This!

cjcarpenter.bsky.social•106 days ago

Trump wants everyone paying attention to HIM. Stop taking the bait. Report on what he and his administration actually DO, not what they say to feed the MAGA.

possum-107.bsky.social•107 days ago

It's both: bullying AND greed

lazyruralgentleman.bsky.social•107 days ago

It’s a way to get out of NATO

lazyruralgentleman.bsky.social•107 days ago

God, save us from this monster

oldmantalking.bsky.social•106 days ago

Now that the oligarchs have almost finished their game of world monopoly it's time for them to begin a new game of King of the Hill.
Trump just claimed Greenland south to Panama and west to Hawaii as the new Maga States of America. This is his end game, everything else is just a distraction.

psgoddard.bsky.social•107 days ago

Denmark could call Trump's bluff. Ask for a Trillion Dollar non-refundable deposit to Denmark. Denmark holds a referendum in Greenland. Supermajority (60%) of Greenland citizens get to decide which Country they want to be aligned with.

pjbass.bsky.social•107 days ago

Would Greenland be a blue state?

crosetti.bsky.social•106 days ago

Trump was dismissed and made fun of by comedians when he suggested this in his first term. Trump can not handle emotionally being dismissed or laughed at. I’m sure this current obsession has as a motive, at least in part, revenge to prove himself right to all those who mocked him.
