Excuse me. Excuse me. (Hands mimic accordion). I would do it very fast and very quickly and it will be done and it will happen like almost nothing anybody has ever seen before.
He doesn't even consider the "how" to be his responsibility. He thinks he can bark and order and ppl should fall in line and do it for him. Case in point when he said repealing the ACA would force DEMOCRATS to come up with a better plan. That's his "concept." "Make them do it while I take credit."
After the word salads they got after asking during the election how he would reduce prices, they gave up, and then tried to come up with something that sounded sane using random words from his answer. Could journalists let us know if it's really that difficult to ask follow-up questions?
Yeah. How many Journalists actually ask, how will you deport so many people? What country or countries will accept deportees? Who will pay for the service? History proves, forced deportations doesn't work. People must WANT to return. People who does NOT want deportation, will go dark. That, Is bad.
What I find weird about the way Trump is covered is that none of the reports start out, "Earlier today, Donald Trump made a fucking insane proposal to..."
I will ask, just a regular US citizen wanting to know why the United States needs to take over 4 countries. President Musk and Vice-President Trump, please inform us all why we need to take over these Countries. Is it for Putin? Or maybe your sons can also rule a country? Please inform us all!
Right, because why would our slavish corporate media — where it's always about profits before people — be so impudent as to ask the rude question of "How exactly would Trump take Greenland if they refuse his lowball offer?"
Maybe I’m wish-casting, but I don’t think Trump wants to invade Greenland. He wants us talking about him and quivering in fear over what a chaos agent he is. He’s jealous of Musk’s coverage and this is a ploy to get it back. We should ignore him.
Not just how but is it even possible? Trumpie is not "covered" by the media he is "repeated" by the media without any depth, questions and without the
one thing required by serious journalists which is bursts of laughter at his stupidity every time he opens his mouth.
He was never once asked how he would deport millions, or how deporting migrants would make housing cheaper. Nor how he would bring prices down. Yet Harris was grilled constantly by the media on how she would do things.
They could have asked every day and he could have given a different stupid answer every time and it would not have mattered a bit. Why don't people see that yet?
MSM is still giving him a pass for a ridiculous reason: they fail to imagine he could be serious about this crap. This isn't his idea, muskrat wants the shipping lanes - in Panama, & most evily, he's betting the Climate Crisis will melt the polar ice, so Greenland will provide a new northern route.
You already know the answer. There’s only one way to “take“ a sovereign nation. Conquest.
The fact he has the world‘s greatest military, and he hasn’t been able to use it gnaws at him.
Being a coward, he won’t target a strong military. He will target an ally.
We blame media for sane washing, normalizing, and treating him like a normal candidate and now president elect. This travesty is on the hands of the media. As you are well aware, many of us have turned off television and are no longer watching programs that we once enjoyed and believed in.
Exactly … and this is journalism? No … it is lazy. E.G. Trump is going to get rid of birthright citizenship; yet FEW articles that mention this also state that it would required a constitutional amendment requiring insurmountable odds.
He sees these places as he did contractors while “building the NYC skyline”. Is Denmark actually gonna respond militarily if we invade? He assumes not, so just invade and see what happens
Denmark requests NATO Article 5 (as could Canada) and all other members would be obliged to stand against another (currently) NATO member. Putins plan working well.
It will shatter the military agreements (including the nuclear agreements) between us in the U.K. and the US, unsure how that would work out but it’s a win for Putin and a loss for the US and UK.
He can’t. Controlling news cycles with ridiculous statements to the compliant legacy media will always be his thing. This story goes global with the goal of refocusing their attention away from the whole “President Musk” thing that’s been prominently featured lately.
This is bluster to threaten Panama for confiscating his property and investigating him for tax evasion. He's using the power of US government to settle his personal scores. This should be impeachment #1 when Democrats take the House. If GOP has a spine and a brain they should vote in favor.
Nor do they discuss how outrageous and contrary to International Law these ideas are. They print them as if it were just another normal policy proposal.
This. They just take him at his word with zero follow up. For example, to take over Panama or Greenland would require military action. I thought MAGA was all about “no new wars” 🤷🏻
Agree. It’s always been puzzling to me why they coddle him. I don’t get it. He says outlandish things all the time and barely ever (if at all) gets pushback. If everyone had made him explain in detail his “ideas” that made no sense, would we be where we are today?
Why don’t they ignore most of his sorry stupid ass comments? Holy shit. He only speaks drivel. Fucking censor his stupidity. Gawd. MSM - would you be reporting on this blithering nonsense if newspapers were only in print?!
They never asked the details of how he would deport 10+ million people or how he would bring grocery prices down either. Meanwhile, Kamala could never provide enough specifics to satisfy them.
I find it quite weird as well. Hey dude, how do you plan on making that happen. My thought is that they know he will only give some BS statement about releasing the answer in two weeks as a surprise. He never answers a direct question with a coherent response!
During Trump press conference ask him what is Trumps plan on securing Canadas 41 million people when less than 5% of the population want to be a US entity..
They don't want to be US citizens, period..
He has to imprison them or kill millions of them, correct?
Or if they do, they let him get away with stupid answers like “You’ll see!” or “I can’t tell you ahead of time.” End the Ukraine War on Day One. Ha! Defeat ISIS jn less than 30 days. Ha! Ha!
In one of his campaign rallies he expressed ignorance about the method to achieve one of his wacky and inhuman proposals. He said “I don’t know how but we”ll figure it out”. My response then and again now is “ he’s too stupid to figure it out”. Stay dumb Donald.
Talk to your Morning buddy Joe. Maybe he can ask when he goes to the Mar A Lago New Years Eve Party. I mean the lines of communication are apparently open now.
OMG, these types of musings this late in the game are disheartening at best and disqualify at worst. 47 has never participated in an interview. Sitting down with a reporter on TV doesn’t mean it’s an interview. Interviews have structure, questions asked and answered and follow-ups to clarify.
Same in Canada. We have a guy running on slogans like "ax the tax" and "build the houses," but no word on how he'll combat climate change or promote housing for the unhoused. People fall for a catchy phrase unfortunately
While he threatens to "Axe the Tax," he makes no mention of axing the tax rebate
While he exhorts us to "Build the houses," he has no plan for how those houses will be built, by whom they will be built, nor for whom they will be built
He's an empty slogan. Nothing more
The man seems to have a similar mentality to Charles Manson (that he just thinks something and presto, it happens!)
I don't think he realizes how obstructive +41million Canadians could be -- we are world champions at being passive-aggressive. We practically invented malicious compliance.
Trump fancies himself an expansionist (like Vlad and Bibi) and sees these as the easiest targets. I'm not saying that isn't stupid, it is, I'm saying that's his motivation.

No use asking a question to which even Trump doesn't know the answer. He operates on whim, impulse, anger, emotion. It's of the moment. KNOWING what he's doing? Never happens.
If only the majority of his former Cabinet and administration and hundreds of National Security professionals had warned us. Add in Milley and Kelly. We have a desperately WILFULLY ignorant electorate.
When you are 21 work at Zaxbys and a carwash and have a roommate you split rent with and a 3000 dollar car that you have to constantly upkeep and find yourself many weeks going hungry waiting for a paycheck …. Why would you care about a damn thing besides food shelter transportation????
The above is young man in my family. He suffers in silence and starves for a day or so when he doesn’t have money bc he is proud and is working hard but it just doesn’t all pan out like it did for us in our early 20s
We are pretentious assholes to be honest. All of us. Every damn one of us who pontificate on these things we KNOW matter to prevent fascism but then we preach at people like my nephew. Fuck you, fuck me, fuck the Democratic Party until we get head out of ass and address :
HOUSING
EDUCATION / TRAINING
HEALTHCARE
WAGE STAGNATION
PERIOD. End of discussion. We are to blame for the rise of fascism because we have allowed ourselves to debate guns, abortion , Matt Gaetz, Epstein , etc blah blah .
We forgot Maslowe in our arrogance and left ourselves open
I house homeless people, good people like your nephew. 16 over the last 10 years. They DO care about who cares about them. I insist they register to vote but not HOW to vote. NONE of them voted for Trump. We just talked about SNAP, SSA, Medicaid, care for the poor. Only facts. They figured it out.
No one ever asks anything when talking to Trump. They simply report his ramblings and question nothing. It's one of the big, big, failings in the US right now.
There never is a how or even a “concept” of how he would do the nutty things he says. There is only a why? Why does he say this bs? To deflect conversation from the last stupid thing he was called out. on or to change the subject (President Musk) that is under his skin.
That the media is reporting on Trumps lunatic ideas of taking control of Greenland, The Panama Canal and making Canada the 51st state, with serious consideration, epitomizes how we got Trump. The media has made the unimaginable normal.
Yeah, I still want to see all the engineering, work, personnel, and costs associated with building and maintaining indefinitely the infrastructure needed to create and sustain a permanent Mars colony and who is paying for it. It's all rubbish, but he's getting contracts on the backs of tax payers.
I don’t have to see anything. You know how it would work out. We will pay for it and he will own it-and probably his heirs use it as a base to attack us.
Hell, it could partly be because nobody knows how he’s done any of the shit he’s done so far. The answer is: people let him, so many probably assume they’ll let him do these things too. But Trump thinks Canada, Panama, the Netherlands or Greenland will roll over as easily… I hope he’s wrong.
Given the number of Republican presidents since Reagan who simply attacked some nation or other with American troops, and only afterward bothered to tell Congress, it's pitifully easy to guess how he thinks he'll get this done. No need to ask why he thinks a Republican Congress won't kick, either.
Comments
The press: “Well, there you have it.”
A journalist would dig deep, ask questions, provide context, truth, history and analysis.
They are different beasts. We have far too many reporters and not enough journalists.
Simple as that. It’s just words put together!
one thing required by serious journalists which is bursts of laughter at his stupidity every time he opens his mouth.
The fact he has the world‘s greatest military, and he hasn’t been able to use it gnaws at him.
Being a coward, he won’t target a strong military. He will target an ally.
Such as when it's claimed he would have prevented the war in Ukraine, I ask how. No one ever gives an answer other than "he just would"
I really would like to know.
Media, "Oh, OK, sounds good to me. Let me write that down. Very insightful, sir."
During Trump press conference ask him what is Trumps plan on securing Canadas 41 million people when less than 5% of the population want to be a US entity..
They don't want to be US citizens, period..

Why not? Because repeating outlandish Trump claims is great clickbait.
How often do you post Trump claims with no context?
While he exhorts us to "Build the houses," he has no plan for how those houses will be built, by whom they will be built, nor for whom they will be built
He's an empty slogan. Nothing more

He voted for Trump. Why the fuck wouldn’t he ??
Fuck them. They're doing this, not us. We're minimizing our impact. They just don't give a fuck.
This isn't over. In fact, what we've been fighting against is the resurgence of regressive monarchist tendencies.
Ie., "tyranny".
Let it galvanize us.

Reporter:
“Gee coach how are you gonna win the game?”
Trump:
“by not losing.”
Reporter:
“Great answer!”
He’s making the US look pathetic.
But even if Trump somehow seized the M0, M1, AND M2 money supply, there's NO WAY it can be done.
So why isn't anyone calling him on simple shit like THAT, even?
