i think opponents of trump also have to resist the temptation of intellectualizing his outbursts or attributing them to some recognizable goal. the fact is that trump is obsessed with greenland because it is big on a map. he wants canada because it is also big on a map. that's it.

My great aunt had an elderly friend w/ dementia who insisted that ppl were having sex in the trees outside her window. Trying to make sense of Trump rants is like trying to figure out the logistics of sex in the trees.
Between blue states and red states.
Where is Omaha? Los Alamos? Haven't Florida, Texas, Arizona, got lots of rockets? At least Boeing is in WA, but how about the largest nuclear reactors? Bunkers?
Canada has enormous fresh water reserves & other exploitable natural resources.
On a map, sure, but not JUST on a map.
these aren't jokes or distractions. he's totally serious
"Nobody knows who owns Greenland." <---Ugh

He has betrayed this country already and he will do it again.
It's genuinely worrisome. Phoenix is already experiencing unprecedented droughts; it's only a matter of time before a certain kind of rightwing American sees themselves as entitled to Canadian freshwater, for "national security" purposes
yet they probably don't even read it 🤦♂️
1 idea then rewritten in different forms and basically flattering himself with the idea in the same text, they love showing me that shit.
Maybe we should talk again about that.
he's a nationalist who wants to expand US territory though military conquest
He may not be throwing out crazy shit to distract intentionally... but the GOP and his inner circle do seem to take advantage of that dynamic.
The GOP House and GOP Senate will be pursuing Project 2025.
He throws spaghetti at the wall and we run to clean it up. This exhausts us, no matter whether it's intended to make a mess. And he always has more spaghetti
And now he has the power of the US government to get it.

Hes being told what to say.
By fascists.

Leave Seattle/Portland or the big Californian cities, and it's deep MAGA territory.
It's like how his obsession with bringing up Hannibal Lector while talking about immigration was just because he clearly doesn't know what "political asylum" means.
The man is a moron. A dangerously stupid moron.
It's insane that he's about to be the president again.
What Hitler and Putin have in common, is that both took over territories. Is he going to be less than them! Those two are his Heroes. His. EGO DEMANDS IT!
when you have a watchmaker's toolkit, everything looks like swiss clockwork. but a rock is still a rock.

His pronouncements do not lead in a strategic direction. They just lead to more attention and adulation for him, by definition.
There is no why, only how.
Admittedly, his administration is incompetent enough that he will probably get to this at a point where it does not hurt America too bad.
But this sucks.

There is no need to analyze him further. In fact, it’s a waste of our time. Let’s be helpers, and learners. Let’s pray (for those who do) and care for nature.
* Remembering Jan 6 Insurrection commemoration wrt upcoming potential pardons
* Project 2025
* dangerous Cabinet Picks, etc.
* actual LA fire victims
etc.
But are you sure it’s not because of the White populations?
They only know that it’s controlled by Denmark.
He’s never wanted to actually run things, but he’ll happily sell off those decisions to others.

As Jackson is the president looks to most, he perceives indigenous populations in a similar way.
All of this would require him to have any functional knowledge of history. And his mind is a wasteland.
Elon wants Greenland for its rare earth minerals. It would be like having a monopoly on silicone or something.
"Intellectuals": Trump is enacting a strategy to control the Iceland Gap, secure access to rare earth elements and project American influence into the North Atlantic
He's probably finished the deal with Putin on Ukraine.
