Ah yes the well known Truman Doctrine, defined by Lincoln’s successor, President Truman Burbank, in which he declared that Greenland was part of a global sex trafficking ring and the only way to secure its borders was to privatize it.
So Harry Truman was VP to 2 different presidents in 2 different centuries who both died in office 80 years apart? Were you gonna Woodward us and slide it in your next book, Kevin? 😁
What in the hell do they want America to be, the Mongol Empire? In my entire life I never thought our foreign policy would devolve to ratfucking our allies for the sake of Russia. Until now.
So confident that their audience has no idea who previous Presidents are, no less when they served.
They will soon just make up Presidents to talk about
Yeah, we've seen it before. And we've done it all before.
Threatening expansionist war is a crime against humanity.
Trump needs to be jailed till his last breath.
"Greenland was discovered in 1945 by Moe Green as a stopover for GI's on their way to the Arctic Circle. It appears super-huge on this map compared to Rand McNally Island."
I’m not a smart man but damn how are these people on tv spewing this nonsense. They can’t be this stupid, it has to be on purpose. Just say any nonsense to support the orange man.
Just think about how completely ignorant you have to be to get the Truman presidency wrong by 3 major American wars. Like not wrong by a decade or whatever, but by putting his presidency in the wake of the Civil War instead of the wake of WWII.
She's confused Seward's attempt to buy Greenland in 1867 with Trumans' offer in 1946. Then we treated Greenland as if it was ours anyway. We built an entire base under the ice and put a nuke there, without actually mentioning it to Denmark. (We were going to get around to it).
This is 3 card monte at the geopolitical level:
While he says stupid stuff, the media throws up headlines & analysts write up “can Trump acquire Greenland?” (These question stories are laziest media confabulation there is)
I’ve been to the Truman Library and his home in Independence, MO. I don’t remember anything about Harry trying to purchase Greenland 17 years before he was born. Must have missed that in the exhibits.

And no-one corrected her.
We've often thought about getting Greenland. Trump is just the first president to open his fat yap and announce it to the world.
The brainwashing is off the charts. I don't think my sanity is going to survive 4 years of this.

Begging Media: write the continuous story: he hasn’t signed the ethics pledge! Everyday. Investigate his financial transactions.
Ya know, your job.
