An aside, not about grabbing Greenland to add to the Canada package.
After the Panama Canal reclamation project was announced, I recalled Trump family interests down that way... https://costarica.org/panama/hotels/trump/
I know the "R" word is not to be used, but even a person with mental or acuity challenges would agree and say "that guy's fucking r*****ed." Just a colossal dunderhead; a dotard.
... either Trump is the next Hitler or he's gone completely loopy. He needs to be impeached. The Republicans won't try to do it until it's too late and they're escorted out of the Capitol.

President Trump must perform "I'm a Little Teapot" in a tuxedo
I think Trump would not agree to numbers three or four, but would agree to number 1 and say that number 2 is irrelevant since Denmark is in NATO and therefore protected by the U.S. nuclear umbrella.
Trump has previously said NATO isn't worth it and we should withdraw.
Greenland is worth far more than $2T, ergo, Trump would not be meeting their price and the whole thing would go away.. Which is what Denmark would prefer.
No government employees have to be threatened on phone calls (as in the case of Ukraine). Here the soon-to-be president is strong arming a foreign government -- one of our NATO allies. What a way to build a relationship! Gimme, gimme, gimme.
The rest of the world governments need to tell him to eat shit, to his fucking face, not some letter or tv interview, and completely cut off all relationships with this country for the next four years. Put this fat kid with a shitty diaper in a time out.
I'm Danish, and while this was funny the first time, it's a lot less funny when the psycho keeps "joking" about making Canada the 51st state.
Last time we said no to him, we had his follwers online demanding that we were bombed, and the old senile coot might try and fucking follow through this time
I'm Canadian. He is too stupid to understand that our economy and resources are already completely controlled by US interests. There's nothing to gain by invading that they don't already have due to NAFTA. Doesn't mean he won't try, though. Canadians would resist but sadly our government wouldn't.
Also Chrystia Freeland. We should keep that in mind. It's a shame her charisma score is so shabby because she would be a solid leader in these times. She fully grasps the threat of both the megalomaniac leaders of our neighboring countries, knows what must be done and is not afraid.
I hope they deny this pick for ambassador. They don't have to agree to it. And why would they? He is basically saying he will take it by force. So now it's Panama AND Denmark he wants a war with. The "peace" president.
It should be illegal & a shameful act to use the title of President when you're legally not the President. I imagine the line is more clear if you state you a dr, an attorney, policeman, general, but he's allowed to amuse himself with the title, & now the genius is competing with Elmu for the title.
Someone writes most of his posts. His brain is so scrambled he just spits out bits and pieces and the NYT’s, and other MSM use creative writing to day no, no there is a logical thought there.
Really going back to the 19th century with all the empire wars. China will conquer Asia, Russia will conquer Europe and USA will conquer Americas. George Orwell predicted it in 1984 novel. Three autocracies fighting between each others to maintain their power internally. Fiction becomes reality.
Well Russia is mostly in Asia so maybe another autocracy will take Europe. But USA falling on the autocracy side and ending the great democracy adventure started almost 250 years on its land will have been an utopia even if it brought a lot of good to humanity, MAGA decided to end it.
Is he really demanding Greenland be handed to him on a silver platter? And what tf is the argument for that? Oh wait, its just senility I guess. My fucking ass those next years will be a true testament to stupidity.
Does it drive anyone else as crazy as it does me that he capitalizes every other goddamn word, in a barely literate attempt to make them seem especially important?
Like he had to write "the Kingdom of Denmark" when everybody else just says "Denmark". Not to mention "the Great State of [insert state name here]. Somehow needs to show that he knows stuff. Went to big boys school, knows the best words.
That's one way of telling whether he wrote his own tweet (pardon me, "truth"). If it's mildly literate and includes complete sentences, it was written by one of his minions. If it makes no sense and has capital letters scattered through it at random, they forgot to take his phone away from him.
Makes me Crazy too! Such a Weird and Silly thing to Do. I can only assume that people who do this don’t READ ACTUAL
BOOKS so they have no idea how written English should look.
What's with all of the expansionist rhetoric coming out of Trump? Following in the steps of Putin isn't smart, and we are pretty far past claiming "Manifest Destiny".
Putin is in the process of annexing Ukraine and Xi is preparing to annex Taiwan. Trump obviously thinks that he’ll look like a loser if he doesn’t get into the act fast.
Trump is a narcissist, and his ego has gotten out of control now that he won the election and therefore gets to stay out of prison. He thinks he’s the fucking king of the universe.
Look... World, PLEASE dunk on America as much as possible for the next four years. Show up Hair Furor for the impotent loser that he is and show the MAGAts that America is indeed not the center of their flat earth.
This may be painful for us, but by god they need to learn that we are NOT #1.
Mineral rights. Global warming will open up areas. Destroy its environment. End the local culture. Keep as territory, not state, because it would have 2 Dems likely. Part of his divide the world in two spheres with Russia (Ukraine, Baltics obviously Russian & much of rest of Eastern Europe).
Is this the Ken from A Fish Called Wanda or Barbie? Because if they’re not famous on TV or movies this idiot doesn’t know them! Continue to drain that swamp right into our government! BTW…I hate you!
Thinking the new ambasador should end up in a cargo container upgraded with all the trappings of a 40x8' apartment, chemical toilet, lots of water and food, and nothing electronic so much as a capacitor or inductor, then load the container on a cargo container ship to the US, by way of China.
I am a US citizen. I do not think owning Greenland is a necessity. Trump does not speak for all of us. He’s embarrassing us once again in front of the entire world.
We are not in the XIX century, when an empire could buy a colony or territory from another colonial power without considering at all the views of its inhabitants... He ignores that Greenland is no longer that kind of colony.
Yes I suppose he forgot to throw in - or else.....
I guess he believes he somehow has more leverage now.... while the opposite actually being the case.
He has to work a bit on his gangster style to make it complete.....
What part of the statement "for
reasons of national security and freedom it's important the USA control ownership of Greenland" does he think Denmark owns Greenland??
I'm trying to figure out what Paypal has to do with diplomacy. And side note: Paypal is horrible. They will take your cards and hold them hostage. Maybe check the number of complaints against them before bragging about one of its co-founders.
Clearly, he can't possibly have written these posts. So does this mean these predatory plans are part of his new administration's mission? Of course, all based on his insane ideas and goals for retribution [like Panama.]
It’s not that extreme. They can refuse his credentials and request a different ambassador. That’s not the most friendly of acts but it falls well short of severing diplomatic ties.
Israel broke off diplomatic relations with Ireland last month when Ireland vote to bring Israel strongman Benjamin Netanyahu before the world court on charges of genocide. Took their ball (and their embassy staff) and went home.
Not quite. "Israeli officials said shuttering the embassy in Ireland did not mean that Israel was severing diplomatic relations with Ireland. Officials from both countries noted that Ireland’s embassy in Tel Aviv will continue to function."
Hmmm.. Before the election there was a poll here asking which candidate Danes would prefer in the US WH: Harris 85%, Rump 7%, the rest undecided. I reckon Rump's numbers just went down quite a bit. Danes don't take well to bullying.
trump wanting Greenland and Canada and Mexico at some point will all be part of the Putin multi pole power setup.
Putin gets Europe, Trump gets the Americas (all of them), China gets its whole neighborhood down to Australia, and a chunk of Russia (that Siberian part they used to own)
Either b/c Greenland has fossil fuel reserves but recently ceased exploration to focus on the climate crisis, or to do with the arctic and its proximity to Russia He’s been making weird noises about Canada too. Either way someone’s feeding it to him, he’s not thinking strategically on his own.
Much like Putin he sees imperial expansion as the method of making a nation great again. Also like Putin he will do a lot of stupid and dangerous stuff that causes everyone except him a great deal of tragedy.
He simply wants to add some territory somewhere to the US to prove his greatness. This is why he now has Canada and Panama in the mix. He is going to try and add territory a la Putin.
Don't these people just want to take their money, buy a yacht and enjoy life? It is not as if they are actually going to enhance our reputation and standing in the world. So what is the point?
What's he got against this guy that he's sending him to Denmark with the message "We're gonna take over Greenland"? Hope the man likes being laughed at. (I've met lots of Danes.)
Somebody explain to the Royal Doofus that random exclamations of, “BTW, we want that land that you claim is part of your country” is inappropriate and wrong.
“The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that Greenland has 17.5 billion barrels of oil and 148 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland estimates that Greenland's west coast alone has about 18 billion barrels of oil.”
I'll keep saying this but just because he's nominated & even if he's confirmed by the Senate, Denmark doesn't have to accept him. They can reject his creditials & send him home.
So is there actually some reason Trump wants Greenland or is it just a fragile ego because he kind of looked foolish when he bought this kettle of fish idea during 1.0?
Countries have the right to not accept an ambassador's credential. S/he then becomes persona non grata and has to leave the country.
One of these countries is going to decide to not put up with this bullshit and simply reject Trump's ambassador. 1/2
That’s good to know but it’s not a realistic position for a small country like Denmark to take. Having said that, they punch way above their weight and won’t ever lose Greenland, which actually probably wants independence.
I’ve wondered about this. His ambassador nominations are as preposterous as his cabinet; what would happen if Guilfoyle went to Syntagma to present her credentials and the Greek government simply said no— send us a real diplomat, not a used-up girlfriend. Does anyone know?
If the Greeks refuse to accept her, she will have to come back to the US. The US can either send another ambassador, leave the post vacant, or retaliate by sending their diplomat back.
Normally, things won't reach that stage. The Greeks can communicate privately before she has even left the US.
US is going bancrupt very fast. If Trump is going to invade Panama, Greenland, Canada and Mexico, he will start a third world war. The depression is coming, folks.

Apparently, the aftermath of uncoupling from the hotel/ casino the Trump company managed turned into a pickle.
The article states there are problems with the company in other countries, too.
https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-companies-accused-tax-evasion-panama
But that link I put above is to the website for/ about that hotel. No name change. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I am not going to go deep and WHOIS to see who owns the website
But, yes, Marriot took over the Trump Panama hotel
I want to say multiple, int'l hotels got scrubbed
https://apnews.com/general-news-381aedfac3d449f7b8263c3e124adb88
IIRC, that was one the family managed. It did not own it.
This turned up in the search for hotels owned
Suffce it to say the family has interests down that way. They have properties all over.
So now the US will be invading Mexico, Canada, Panama and Greenland.
Look out UK.

AHEM! Reminder: our 4-year sentence hasn't even begun yet.

D'OH!
The guy is unhinged
Suspenses he hasn’t called them Lebensraum yet.
#taxevasion is clearly a crime, so any #NDA signed to cover this would be null and void
My guess is that if #trump continues to threaten #Panama over #PanamaCanal, they will release ANY documents related to his companies
This may be painful for us, but by god they need to learn that we are NOT #1.
The thing is Putin won't want the US to have increased Arctic presence. He considers it his turf. So likely a non-starter.
he liked and now he wants
to build luxury housing and golf
courses there.
As soon as he finds out that Greenlanders aren't white he won't want the place.
I guess he believes he somehow has more leverage now.... while the opposite actually being the case.
He has to work a bit on his gangster style to make it complete.....
If he forgot the answer was no.
See we refused again
reasons of national security and freedom it's important the USA control ownership of Greenland" does he think Denmark owns Greenland??

Not enough drinks.
Not enough joints.
Is he going to annex it illegally? Is he going to war with a NATO ally to obtain it?
It is laughable, but is also creepy for Danes.
For a company famous for enabling massive scam-fraud. Cute.
I don't call that a win if more PayPal billionaires like Leon are running the country.
If this is real, then T just "owned" himself. Again.
On a related topic: I am going to be so embarrassed when I cross the bridge to Canada these next few years.
Putin gets Europe, Trump gets the Americas (all of them), China gets its whole neighborhood down to Australia, and a chunk of Russia (that Siberian part they used to own)
Puerto Rico at MSG.
The art of the deal!
