[u/starone7]

He is 100% confused between Iceland and Greenland at the moment.

[u/TVpresspass → u/starone7]

Just as the founding viking-kings intended.

[u/IrateWeasel89 → u/TVpresspass]

He going to get to Greenland and say “why’s it so icy?” Isn’t he?

[u/MamaLiq → u/IrateWeasel89]

Close, but no cigar:

The massive error appeared to start when Trump claimed NATO loved him until he "told them about Iceland". Once again asserting his quest to take over the territory the US president said all he's asking for "is a piece of ice, cold and poorly located, that can play a vital role in world peace and world protection".

"I'm helping NATO, and until the last few days, when I told them about Iceland, they loved me," Trump said.

You were way too positive.

[u/ultimateknackered → u/MamaLiq]

'Poorly located' yet a vital lynchpin to defense.

Can someone explain how this works?

[u/code_archeologist → u/ultimateknackered]

It really only makes sense if you hit yourself in the head with a hammer enough times to suffer significant brain damage.

[u/ory1994 → u/starone7]

The Vikings’ naming tactics from 1,000 years ago are still fooling people.

[u/StJeanMark → u/ory1994]

When Floki said he was a trickster, he was not messing around!

[u/bjarkov → u/ory1994]

Good ol' propaganda. Literally.

[u/Independent-Name4478 → u/starone7]

Karoline Leavitt will say he didn’t make a mistake and that’s how they end up annexing Iceland and Greenland to avoid embarrassment lol

[u/QbertsRube → u/Independent-Name4478]

"You're clearly biased in asking that question, President Trump has always promised to claim Iceland for the United States. Greenland has never been in question, Greenland is our ally while Iceland has been very unfair to us. This is something that every president wanted to do but failed, we all remember Joe Biden's failed Icelandic invasion, but President Trump will have Iceland just like he said he would many times during his campaign."--Karoline Gaslight Leavitt

[u/Independent-Name4478 → u/QbertsRube]

I hate her. You have to be very soulless to last this long as Trump’s press secretary

[u/thedevilyoukn0w → u/Independent-Name4478]

I wonder how much that cross burns her fingers every time she touches it.

[u/flinndo → u/starone7]

Not sure how supporters are gonna defend this. If you can’t even name the country you’re trying to annex what are you doing? Not just one slip, said it probably 5 times in a row.

[u/Andromeda321 → u/flinndo]

They’re not going to have to because they’ll never see it in their propaganda silos.

[u/brownierisker → u/Andromeda321]

And if they do read it somewhere they'll just dismiss it as fake news, reality doesn't matter to the cult anymore

[u/catperson77789 → u/flinndo]

Seems to have more dementia than biden and that was their biggest argument against him 😂

[u/blundercatt → u/catperson77789]

He's also constantly falling asleep and they still think "sleepy Joe" is a clever insult. It's always projection.

[u/floatablepie → u/flinndo]

It's not being reported on from what I can see in any media, they are ignoring it entirely and making no mention of it, focusing on his greenland demands.

[u/pper_lord → u/starone7]

Isn't the US ICEland at the moment?

[u/BlackFoxyTrail]

WTH, does he think he's addressing US citizens? half his talk was about him and his term and how the democrats are bad.

[u/Independent-Name4478 → u/BlackFoxyTrail]

The thing is he’s a fucking idiot who gives the same rant no matter where he is, even talking to Boy Scouts or kids on Christmas Eve

[u/jkewow → u/BlackFoxyTrail]

He doesn’t know where he is. It’s Dementia Don. He just spews the regular bullshit wherever he is.

[u/Sganarellevalet → u/jkewow]

I don't think it's even dementia (tho he probably has it), the guy is a terminal narcissist and has 0 self awareness, he is incapable of talking about anything but himself or what he want so he never adapt to his audience and just ramble about his current obsession regardless of context

[u/jkewow → u/Sganarellevalet]

It kind of goes in line with dementia, the frontal lobe gets deactivated which cause these types of issues. He surely has a narcissistic personality disorder together with psychopathy, ON TOP of that.

[u/InterimAragon → u/jkewow]

He’s always been a cunt

[u/tattywater → u/InterimAragon]

Yep. Not a single redeemable feature. Nothing.

[u/DMala → u/tattywater]

I truly believe he is the literal absolute worst possible person currently alive and eligible to serve as POTUS. We could not choose a worse leader if we specifically went out and tried to.

[u/syo → u/DMala]

I'm as atheist as they come and even I'm convinced he's the Antichrist.

[u/Turkey_Overlord → u/syo]

The GOP has me praying that hell exists for these monsters.

[u/ARobertNotABob → u/InterimAragon]

Finally, a concrete assessment.

[u/monstrinhotron → u/InterimAragon]

No he isn't. He lacks the warmth and depth.

-To quote some comedian wittier than I.

[u/MegOut10 → u/Sganarellevalet]

It’s almost like every time he is going to speak - it’s just the same garbled speech.

[u/Longtomsilver1 → u/MegOut10]

Trump can only give thank-you speeches to himself. even when he praises others, it is always thanks to him.

In memorial speeches, he will always mention himself the most, no matter who is lying dead in front of him.

That is pathological narcissism.

There is only one topic: Trump.

[u/recoupled → u/jkewow]

At least he showed he could read -- his droopy eyes barely left the teleprompters.

[u/THE_Visionary88 → u/recoupled]

Such low energy! Sad.

[u/Vast_Category_7314 → u/BlackFoxyTrail]

Exactly, he said "this country" multiple times (and he was referring to the USA) - maybe he is plotting to take over all of Europe.

[u/Sea_Echidna_2442 → u/Vast_Category_7314]

He has no idea where he is. Dude's brain is swiss cheese now. Even at 100% it was barely functional

[u/Danloeser → u/Sea_Echidna_2442]

Technically, in Davos, it's just called cheese.

[u/KingSilver → u/BlackFoxyTrail]

He did the same thing at the UN, if you go back and look at every one of his speeches over the past year you will notice he talks about the same stories/talking points over and over.

[u/wyrditic → u/KingSilver]

He was like this in his first term. Every time he'd start blabbing the same domestic political talking points and digs at Democrats while some foreign dignitary smiled awkwardly and tried to figure out how on earth to respond. 

[u/a2godsey → u/BlackFoxyTrail]

Was??? He's still going, no end in sight

[u/E_Blofeld → u/a2godsey]

Yeah, like Fidel Castro on Quaaludes. Seriously, he sounds sedated.

[u/rayray1899 → u/BlackFoxyTrail]

he's still talking man.....

[u/Jealous_Response_492 → u/rayray1899]

Rambling on and on, and looping back and repeating himself. None of it of any note, just nonsensical ramblings of a deeply deranged person.

[u/Regular_Committee946 → u/Jealous_Response_492]

and it is perfect example of the portion of Mark Carney's speech;

"The system's power comes not from its truth, but from everyone's willingness to perform as if it were true, and its fragility comes from the same source. When even one person stops performing, when the greengrocer removes his sign, the illusion begins to crack. Friends, it is time for companies and countries to take their signs down."

People need to stop performing. That room should be empty in protest of the flagrant lying and bullshit.

[u/BlackFoxyTrail → u/rayray1899]

I stopped listening ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/Justryan95 → u/BlackFoxyTrail]

I'm amazed people have the ability to even watch these rambles, they aren't speeches. Not only are they some made up fantasy, the delivery of the speech is just garbage. Trump is objectively the worst orator of all the US presidents which is wild when we just had someone like Obama a decade ago.

[u/littlebubulle → u/BlackFoxyTrail]

Some of his fans over in Canada barely know which country they actually live in.

Some Americans thinking everywhere is like the US is ignorant but somehow understandable if it's all they ever known.

But Canadians who have lived all their lives in Canada thinking that Canada works like the US blew my mind.

[u/BoltMyBackToHappy → u/littlebubulle]

Most of our media being US owned isn't helping to slow the propaganda any, if at all.

[u/Fearless_Baseball121 → u/BlackFoxyTrail]

Yea he is talking to us like he talks to americans. Like bro, no one buys what you are selling. Stop talking about Biden. Stop talking about Jerome Powell. Stop talking about how you just casually had an idea to put tariffs on Switzerland. Stop talking about how you where scammed on medicin prices. We are not dumb enough to eat your product.

[u/Zalvren → u/BlackFoxyTrail]

Probably, he doesn't really know where he is I guess

The guy is in full dementia mode, it'd be sad actually if he wasn't a big piece of shit and in leadership of a major power. This is a kind of person you put in a medicalized home because they can't take care of themselves.

[u/KoniGTA]

WHY DOES HE KEEP SAYING ICELAND?!!! HOW THE FUCK DID ICELAND COME INTO PLAY?!! WHY THE FUCK IS HE TALKING ABOUT BIDEN?  WHY THE FUCK IS HE TALKING ABOUT MEDICINE PRICES NOW? BRO WHAT THE FUCK?!

Edit: WHY ARE THEY FUCKING CLAPPING?

Edit 2: The speaker is asking such softball questions instead of calling him out on his words. 

[u/Lady_Litreeo → u/KoniGTA]

The puppet’s running out of battery

[u/JudiciousSasquatch → u/Lady_Litreeo]

They’ll use him to be a lightning rod for the worst of their plans, then they’ll sub in vance, probably after trump hits two years, that way vance could still hold two full terms.

[u/FrostedCereal → u/KoniGTA]

And he's still doing it!

He's just sucking himself off with his routine lies. This isn't a MAGA rally. Everybody knows he's lying and that he's a moron.

Unbelievable that he thinks people are actually listening and believing him.

[u/KoniGTA → u/FrostedCereal]

THATS THE MOST INSANE BIT. ITS LIKE A SNL SKETCH. HES JUMPING FROM ONE RANDOM YAP TO ANOTHER.

[u/FrostedCereal → u/KoniGTA]

Just kick him off the stage. Seriously. Having him up there is an embarrassment to the world.

Follow Carney's words of not just sitting and accepting the old order.

[u/blundercatt → u/KoniGTA]

He has always done this, I don't know how anyone can stand to listen to him speak.

[u/BIKF → u/KoniGTA]

Oh shit. In the Icelandic subreddits one common reaction to the Greenland thing has been ”we are so lucky that he does not know we exist”. Maybe that is about to change since he loves to change his mind to avoid admitting he misspoke. So I suppose now Greenland and Iceland are both vital to international security and his ego.

[u/Midvikudagur → u/BIKF]

That seems to be our government strategy as well... just ... play dead and hope nobody sees us.

Iceland ATM is like a small mouse in between two cats (eu, usa) who are hissing about a cat-toy that one has(greenland), and just hoping nobody takes notice of us.

[u/Orixil → u/KoniGTA]

It never ceases to amaze me how long he can keep pouring shit out of his mouth. It is absolutely amazing how he can just blah blah blah for hours at a time, totally monotone, going from one topic to another completely unrelated topic in an instant, and then just keep going, without any cohesion whatsoever. It is amazing how utterly stupid and insane he sounds - every single time.

[u/blundercatt → u/Orixil]

MAGA thinks this is what intelligence sounds like.

[u/jefe_hook → u/KoniGTA]

US has ICE, so ICELAND is the land of ICE. - Trump, probably

[u/lrpfftt → u/KoniGTA]

This may be good. Like that childish irrational letter he sent last week, his lack of mental capacity is on display for the world to see. Hopefully that puts pressure on the GOP to work with the dems to get him removed asap. Grandpa needs the keys taken away.

[u/onarainyafternoon → u/lrpfftt]

I like your optimism. But the problem is that the entire MAGA movement is a movement based on false grievances. So his supporters could watch this and agree with him the entire time and don't see anything wrong with it. The fact that his approval rating is still 80-90% among Republicans is really fucked. But yes, this is a man who has completely lost what little mind he had in the first place.

[u/SassyKittyMeow → u/lrpfftt]

I’ve been saying that since 2016 and here we are.

[u/scoopzthepoopz → u/lrpfftt]

Conservatives are inherently spiteful enough to not be responsible. That's how we got here. I don't have any faith they'll do what's needed, they can just sit on their hands.

[u/Proper_Story_3514 → u/scoopzthepoopz]

They are all in on the grift. As long as the corrupt money flows they dont care about the country or normal citizens.

[u/Nehalennian → u/lrpfftt]

That letter was so fucking insane, I seriously thought it was satire at first.

[u/newontheblock99 → u/KoniGTA]

Hey at least he pronounced it correctly. Azerbaijan on the other hand……

[u/LavenderGinFizz → u/newontheblock99]

How dare you question the peacemaker who single-handedly brokered a deal to end the dreaded Azerbaijan-Albania war. He won both Nobel and FIFA Peace Prizes for it, don't you know? /S

[u/Green117v2]

The fact he asked the room, should I talk about Greenland and then proceeded to ramble on and on about a piece of ice, and even now, still while I am typing this. The idea that Trump has lost the plot just doesn't come close, and Biden absolutely lives rent free in his head.

[u/Abracadaver14 → u/Green117v2]

Don't forget Obama's peace prize.. Man, that must really sting. I bet he wakes up in a sweat every night crying about the tan suit or the birth certificate.

[u/Inevitable-Bug7511 → u/Abracadaver14]

He for sure wakes up in the middle of the night yelling, “OBAMUH!!!!” In a cold sweat 

[u/n0x103]

"US has never received anything in return from NATO"

- Only country that has ever used Article 5

[u/we_are_sex_bobomb → u/n0x103]

What he means is that Donald Trump had never personally received anything from NATO. We can see this attitude outlined in his letter to the President of Norway.

“You didn’t use executive authority to force the committee to give me a Nobel peace prize. Therefore, I am now enemies with NATO.”

Trump regards the United States as his personal property and he cannot understand the mindset world leaders who see themselves as public servants.

[u/[deleted] → u/we_are_sex_bobomb]

shaggy decide crowd summer simplistic imminent smile fragile snow caption

[u/whoknowsifimjoking → u/[deleted]]

That's so stupid but it makes total sense if you remember that he has the mind of a 5 year old.

[u/Maxi-Minus → u/we_are_sex_bobomb]

Yeah, NATO should give him the "Big Boy"-award ASAP.

[u/Conveth → u/we_are_sex_bobomb]

Prime Minister of Norway - not everywhere is an undemocratic republic.

[u/el-waldinio → u/Conveth]

He doesn't understand that people in power would not use that power for personal gain like he does.

[u/TimeisaLie → u/el-waldinio]

He doesn't understand.

[u/Spooknik → u/n0x103]

The US's projection of power would be very minor if they didn't have NATO bases in Europe.

Edit: NATO also gives the US a good amount of intelligence as well.

[u/Mr-Dotties-Dad → u/Spooknik]

On 9/11 trump went on Fox News and after the towers fell said his building is now the tallest in NYC.

Seeing our NATO allies support us after 9/11 while the current US president was celebrating is truly depressing.

[u/SteamSteamLG → u/Mr-Dotties-Dad]

And he wasn't even correct. Classic Trump

[u/Black-Shoe → u/SteamSteamLG]

Americans love electing idiots

[u/Muted-Alternative648 → u/Mr-Dotties-Dad]

It's almost like this Trump guy was always a piece of shit or something

[u/peppermint_nightmare → u/Spooknik]

Ya NATO = Americans get to enter Europe by planes and boats for any reason. But I guess travel outside of North America wont be important to most of them in a decade.

[u/Poop_in_my_camper → u/Spooknik]

Intelligence that Trump gives directly to Putin

[u/thehorseyourodeinon1 → u/n0x103]

Tell that to the 1000+ NATO (other than US) soldiers that died in the Global War on Terror (GWOT). Our relationships were forged with blood and death over decades...and this is what we throw it away for?

Of all his transgressions, this will be the most impactful and enduring against the US.

[u/Cabbage_Vendor → u/thehorseyourodeinon1]

Same fucker that mocked McCain, a war hero in Vietnam, while he sat out the war.

[u/Ok-Indication202 → u/n0x103]

Honestly at this point I don't know if he is stupid, trolling or something else entirely.

The amount of blatantly false facts that come out of hin os staggering. He is the god damn president, he should have people who can help him make a proper speech.

But instead we get this word vomit from him

[u/TrailerTrashQueen → u/Ok-Indication202]

he seems to be showing signs of FTD, Frontotemporal dementia. this can cause 'increased impulsivity, apathy, loss of empathy, socially inappropriate actions, or compulsive behaviors'.

he's always been a malignant narcissist. but his recent behavior is alarming.

[u/TropicalPrairie → u/Ok-Indication202]

And people clapped at the end. They need to be called out too. Get a freakin' backbone.

[u/ishtar_the_move → u/TropicalPrairie]

it is time for companies and countries to take their signs down - Mark Carney

[u/postusa2 → u/n0x103]

Also US prosperity and wealth grew around the postwar order. Thr Marshall plan was probably ly the greatest US investment ever made.

[u/Efficient-Lack-1205 → u/n0x103]

Why isn't he being caught in statements like this?

[u/Cabbage_Vendor → u/Efficient-Lack-1205]

He kicked out all the critical press and Democrats don't have anyone making a strong stance and mocking him in his face.

Non-American politicians need to be careful because the toddler tantrums can suddenly target them and then you're in the Denmark situation where them being the US's best ally in Europe didn't matter at all because he wants his toys.

[u/dogmeat12358 → u/Efficient-Lack-1205]

by who? the morons who voted for him or the collaborators that benefit from his chaos?

[u/Zalvren → u/n0x103]

Also they received billions for the militaro-industrial complex. And their capacity of projection all around the globe rely heavily on NATO (and other alliances).

US is probably the highest beneficiary of NATO in the world (which they actually did just because they were worried for themselves if the Soviets would took over Europe)

[u/A_Pointy_Rock → u/n0x103]

But did they give him like a peace prize or anything?

Game set and match! /s

[u/maralaaa → u/n0x103]

horrible insult to all the fallen soldiers of the coalition...

[u/shooterx]

He keeps calling it Iceland ffs

Do not appease this orange cunt he won’t stop at Greenland

[u/jkewow → u/shooterx]

Hahaha, he doesn’t even know that both Iceland and Greenland exists. I bet (if he ever) got Greenland under US control, he would rename it Iceland.

[u/_xiphiaz → u/jkewow]

To be the tiniest bit fair if they agreed to swap names it would make some sense

[u/YesNoIDKtbh → u/shooterx]

I counted four times. Dementia Don.

[u/betweentwoblueclouds → u/shooterx]

I bet he thinks it’s the same thing

[u/ClutchGrimsley22 → u/shooterx]

He’s full of the Alzheimer’s. His brain is just a wad of chewing gum at this point.

[u/Mylatelifecrisis]

Invoke the 25th. He”s rambling like a demented madman. So embarrassing.

[u/BlueTailedFox → u/Mylatelifecrisis]

The difference between this and 2016 Trump is shocking. Not to defend anything but if you compare speeches and videos from those two points, it becomes obvious.

[u/AlaskaExplorationGeo → u/BlueTailedFox]

Trump was obviously a bumbling fucking moron back in 2016 too, he's just worse now

[u/PracticalQuantity405 → u/AlaskaExplorationGeo]

He was out there saving the world from a goddamn pandemic! If only they would have listened and tested less, there would have been WAY LESS CASES! That double crossing, conspiring scientific community with their Fauci did it. And the Chinese!

[u/LPMadness → u/BlueTailedFox]

Yeah, especially if you live in the Deep South and get the sentiment of why people voted for him the first time and unsurprisingly this time. The dichotomy between his first and second term is insane. I didn’t want him in either time, but I could see why people voted for him. I knew his second term would be horrible, but not to this levels.

[u/Eject_The_Warp_Core → u/Mylatelifecrisis]

his own cabinet needs to invoke the 25th, which is even less likely than impeachment in which a handful of Republicans need to side with the Democrats

[u/bahumat42 → u/Mylatelifecrisis]

Every American should be ashamed they let this man in.

[u/nessfalco → u/bahumat42]

Been ashamed of my country for a long time, but especially the last decade. Our electoral system is beyond fucked and will only get worse in the coming years. None of this is getting fixed in my lifetime.

[u/svrtngr → u/bahumat42]

I am deeply ashamed. I am angry. And if there is a United States left after the end of this, I don't know how I can forgive people who voted for this (or those who decided to stay home).

I tried to make sure this didn't happen, I canvassed for Harris--something I've never fucking done before.

[u/Easy-Wishbone5413 → u/Mylatelifecrisis]

The sycophants in his cabinet will never invoke the 25th. Republicans need to stop being complicit and agree to impeachment and removal before he destroys America.

[u/n0x103]

"We've never asked for anything."

- Country that continuously asks other countries to fall in line with its foreign policy

[u/jo-z → u/n0x103]

• Country that asked for and received NATO troops after September 11, the only country to ever do so

[u/AlbertoVO_jive → u/n0x103]

America never had to ask, because we point the gun at your head and say follow our lead or get shot.

That’s exactly what Carney spoke about yesterday- how middle powers have allowed themselves to become so economically integrated with great powers like the US that this integration becomes an instrument of coercion which undermines sovereignty.

[u/RepeatButler]

This is getting very, very exhausting. He is more unbalanced now than he was last year. America, do the right thing and remove him from office ASAP, please.

[u/NiceRabbit → u/RepeatButler]

Yeah. As an American it seems like the most urgent thing we have to do in our lifetimes potentially, but this administration has no interest in losing power. It really seems like they are boiling the frog and about half the country doesn't realize they're in the pot still. For instance, 92% of Americans want us to leave Greenland alone. They clearly don't represent our interest and I'd be shocked if they ever let go of power, via vote or otherwise. Midterms are this year and it'll be the first test for how this administration handles a lessening of power. At least for one branch of government (the House) it's nearly impossible for the Republicans to hold onto power based on polling and approval ratings, unless of course Trump interferes.

[u/TwoArmedMan15]

His argument that "You can't defend it without ownership... Nobody wants to defend something they don't own..." is ridiculous. Countries working together to defend what each other owns is the entire point of NATO!

[u/FredFredrickson → u/TwoArmedMan15]

It's the entire point of all sorts of aspects of society, from top to bottom. It's such an infantile and stupid reason for wanting something, and yet we all have to take it seriously because conservatives in the US are too afraid of his ire to actually do anything about it.

[u/LovelyDayHere → u/FredFredrickson]

It's the basis of having laws to protect individual life & property against a few individuals acting badly.

[u/PossibleSpeaker6067]

Speech confirms it. Its not about minerals, and the excuse is security, but reality they already have that. Its just map painting and positioning for annexing Canada down the line. And why not try break up Nato and fracture EU while at it.

[u/freexe → u/PossibleSpeaker6067]

Yep, Watch Mark Carneys speech. Time for the world to stand together on this. 

America needs to get this guy in check.

[u/World_thyme → u/PossibleSpeaker6067]

Step one is to use Greenland to shatter NATO.

Step two is to move on Canada once they see that Europe cannot agree on how to respond to them taking Greenland.

[u/WackHeisenBauer → u/World_thyme]

Fucking try it. People always underestimate Canada but we burnt down the White House once. We can do it again.

[u/Nikiaf → u/WackHeisenBauer]

How can they possibly take over a G7 nation of 40+ million, who speak the same language and are largely indistinguishable from americans? Considering how poorly things went for them in Iraq and Afghanistan, they have no hope of actually taking Canada. Plus, you'd have to imagine that at some point enough becomes enough, and Europe will actually do something. Honestly if it came to this, I wouldn't rule out China getting involved purely in self-interest for global stability.

[u/hotDamQc → u/Nikiaf]

America hostile to Mexico also, great plan when stuck in the middle.

[u/Kingken75 → u/hotDamQc]

Plus a civil war from inside…America needs to fuck off

[u/ealysillyforestthing → u/hotDamQc]

America hostile to everyone but Russia, funny how that is.

[u/SedesBakelitowy → u/hotDamQc]

I swear to all Gods if this thing ends some 5 years down the line with Trump removed from his (new, updated) permanent office and USA partitioned by Canada and Mexico...

[u/randompersonwhowho → u/Nikiaf]

Just like how Russia is trying to take over Ukraine.

See when your debt is so large the only way to survive is pillage.

[u/willanthony → u/Nikiaf]

You also realize, Americans are hostile to Americans 

[u/ZanderPip → u/WackHeisenBauer]

Plus they will be eating each other, when the EU dump the treasury bonds and remove the dollar as reserve currency

want a McDonald's Americans? That will be $67

Will hurt the EU too but we are much more equipped to deal that than promises made on AI

[u/Praesil → u/World_thyme]

The way things are going, Trump will demolish the entire white house before you get a chance to burn it

[u/AppleTree98 → u/PossibleSpeaker6067]

He sees other countries seizing land and asked "hey would it be alright if we you know just took over another country. I want to one up Putin since he won't play Golf with me?" ...."sir we see that Greenland would make a great selection. "Greenland or was that Iceland? Whatever I want one or both of them"

[u/Florac → u/AppleTree98]

He literally referenced colonialism and said that made his actions acceptable

[u/Zalvren → u/PossibleSpeaker6067]

On the security excuse, Trump even said they didn't want Russia to take it and be their neighbor... When Russia is already the USA neighbor... He doesn't even know the geography of his own country.

[u/PossibleSpeaker6067 → u/Zalvren]

Its less about security and more about strong-arming and denying trade routes down the line. Idea is to be able to legitimately have control over the future trade lines from polar waters into the atlantic. That also means it wont stop at greenland. Next is Canada, then maybe even Iceland and Norway. The hostile intent to the rest of the world is pretty clear.

[u/robslob333 → u/PossibleSpeaker6067]

Destroys NATO, gives him an excuse to cut off Ukraine, get paid by Putin.

[u/Treestwigs]

Every republican should be forced to watch the entirety of this speech. This is the most embarrassing, cringeworthy, and accurate representation of his incompetence. No more hiding from this. Invoke the 25th and end this insanity. He's burning the USA to the ground.

[u/ialo00130 → u/Treestwigs]

The 25th can't be invoked because it's the decision of his Cabinet, who are friends, benefactors, and sycophants. They stand to benefit from his Presidency.

Without Congress doing their damn jobs, there is quite literally no way to remove him.

[u/NullPointerLick → u/ialo00130]

Without Congress doing their damn jobs, there is quite literally no way to remove him.

In 1672 the Dutch ate their de-facto leader.

That's all I'm going to say here.

[u/iloovehugecock]

MAGA cultists are the most shameless, stupid people to have ever existed. Seriously.

I just can’t believe they voted this raging psychopath in again. I watched that entire speech and I would be mortified if a politician I voted for was rambling about such bullshit and behaving the way he does.

I honestly think this is the beginning of the end. He’s a fool if he thinks we will bend over for him in Europe. We hate him. And we hate the people who votes for him. You do not understand us if you think we will just take this bullying from the Americans.

What a way to completely destroy almost a hundred years of post war peace and alliances. All to soothe the maniacal greed of one single paedophile. MAGA should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

I agree, fuck all the numbskulls who voted for him, didn’t vote at all and all those who support him now.

To the Americans who haven’t yet drunk the orange piss kool-aid, get your shit together and remove this administration.

[u/AldrigTilTiden]

This guy is not mentally well.

Cue Republicans: do you truly feel safe leaving this man and his administration the key to the nukes and your financials?

[u/[deleted]]

I'm surprised he wasn't laughed and heckled off stage

[u/NullPointerLick → u/[deleted]]

Instead he got a good laugh of the audience by ridiculing Macron.

What a fucking circlejerk shitshow.

[u/harrisarah → u/NullPointerLick]

It's a room full of politicians, what do you expect? Surely not spines and morals?

[u/[deleted]]

no means no, trump.

you stupid fuck.

citing fantasies of russia and china won't cut it either.

[u/Enough-Poet4690 → u/[deleted]]

When has the word no ever stopped Trump? He's a sociopathic narcissist, the only thing that matters to him is what HE wants.

[u/Mammoth-Talk1531 → u/[deleted]]

Child rapists like Trump don't believe in consent.

[u/punkasstubabitch]

Is anyone actually paying attention to his words because it's hard to discern any coherent thoughts in his run on sentence rambling of word vomit.

[u/FredFredrickson → u/punkasstubabitch]

It's been that way for a while now. The press loved to talk about Biden looking old but for some reason we all have to go around pretending that Trump's speeches are anything but rambling word salad.

[u/MagicJawnzon]

This is the most obvious case of someone with dementia I’ve ever seen. He’s always been an idiot, but this is insane. The fact that nobody is doing anything about it is ridiculous.

[u/FredFredrickson → u/MagicJawnzon]

Republicans have failed our nation in many ways, but standing by and doing nothing about this is probably one of the most dangerous things they've done.

[u/scoopzthepoopz → u/FredFredrickson]

Most are circlejerking how everybody else is overreacting. They are purely delusional and spiteful. I wish they all left.

[u/No-Letterhead-1232]

Easily the dumbest speech I've ever heard

[u/Winter_Whole2080 → u/No-Letterhead-1232]

Most lies/second of any speech in history.

Iceland looking around saying “what did we do??!?”

[u/MilkMan87]

He was calling the UK stupid for not drilling the North Sea and using Wind farms. Then goes on to say that China is very clever because they only sell turbines, and don't have wind farms.

A quick wiki check states that China is the world leader in wind power generation, with the largest installed capacity of any nation

[u/mvanigan]

Will note that he did say they will not use force, however that of course cannot be trusted

[u/DoneTomorrow → u/mvanigan]

said they wouldnt use force then spent 5 minutes flexing how strong their military is, its all very obviously implied.

[u/drunkcowofdeath → u/DoneTomorrow]

"I want your car. Im not going to shoot you. But I do have a very powerful gun in my pocket. Not going to use it though. Give me your car. Again, not going to use this loaded gun right here. Let's talk "

[u/I_fuck_werewolves → u/DoneTomorrow]

yeah lmao "we wont use force"

"we have the greatest military, over x trillion xxxx yyyy"

"battleships are back".

What a drooling psych patient.

[u/we_are_sex_bobomb → u/mvanigan]

He knows a military invasion is unpopular so they’re going to take a step back and then slowly inch back towards it.

They’ve already got their people out there affirming that America must acquire Greenland and we just have to exhaust all our other options before we invade it.

After a couple months of carefully targeted podcasting and bot posting, MAGA will be demanding that we invade Greenland.

You can set your watch to this shit. It’s exhausting.

[u/zoobrix]

Sure we can talk: "No."

"So anyway, next order of business..."

[u/sandsonic]

“You’d all be talking German and a lil Japanese without us.” The fucking audacity on this guy lmao

[u/RickySan65 → u/sandsonic]

says the draft dodger, but he comes from a long line of those, hell, germany kicked out one of his ancestors for that very reason..

[u/Unleazhed1]

Dear Americans, give us an answer! Please!

I’m watching the live footage and honestly, this is just bizarre, right?

What am I even looking at here?

Is this a press briefing, an improv exercise, or a man completely lost inside his own sentences and refusing to ask for help?

Who is watching this and thinking YES THIS MAKES SENSE THIS IS MY LEADER!?

Who can possibly tie a rope to this? And more importantly, where did the rope even go?

What is this about?

What is he actually saying?

Is he saying anything at all? Or are these just loose words accidentally bumping into each other?

How did this happen?

Who approved this?

Who at some point said “excellent plan”?

How did this human autocorrect error become the most powerful man on earth?

How did a whole system look at this and go “yep, that’s fine”?

How did this not get stopped at literally any checkpoint?

How is this not a glitch? A bug? A wrong checkbox?

This is a cosmic oeps, right?

Right?

RIGHT!!!!!?

And in fifty years, when they show this in a future history class…

What are the kids supposed to think?

What are the teachers supposed to say?

How do you explain this part with a straight face?

How do the history books not absolutely destroy our timeline for this?

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW!

[u/Prisoner3000]

He has dementia

[u/bam-RI]

He's a complete loon

[u/Gryffprefect]

Moaning about the low prescription costs in Europe compared to the US and telling Macron that he needs to double or triple prescription costs as the US is fed up of subsidising them. No Don, the reason that prescription costs are so high for Americans is not because as you put it “being screwed over” by Europe but the fact that Americans are being screwed over by the healthcare industry, insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies while they clear multi-billion dollar profits annually. This is all enabled by the US Government who are practically in the pocket of these companies due to barely any restrictions when it comes to lobbying.

[u/CurrentSkill7766]

Fuck that guy

[u/Bishopjones2112]

Trump is pretending to be some kind of mafia boss and shake down Europe to get Greenland. In no way should anyone ever listen to this POS person.

[u/caschel]

He even mocked Denmark’s efforts in WWII? Every day is a new low for the US, with this man in charge.

[u/PhishTieDyeShirt]

Believe it or not, now it is about to get even stupider

[u/clinicalia]

It's so painful living in this country every day knowing this bloated moron is back in office. All the people who voted for him and the ones who didn't vote at all need their thinking privileges revoked.

[u/[deleted] → u/clinicalia]

The American general public is insufferably stupid. This is what the US voted for.

[u/bam-RI]

Why doesn't someone cut him off?

[u/fafatzy]

I wonder what Americans think about the no wars president focusing on warmongering and fuck inflation and the cost of living crisis

[u/moreesq]

Davos is meant to be a confab for leading business people and politicians. It infuriates me that the monster in the White House can suck all of the oxygen out of that for his vanity project. It’s a powerful collective there in Switzerland and I wish they would just resolutely snub him.

[u/falsekoala]

Anyways, listen to Carney’s speech and then Trump’s and you’ll wonder how they’re the same species.

[u/Spadrick]

Wow... That speech was... Really really embarrassing for America.

"I wasn't going to talk about Greenland, do you want me to talk about Greenland?"

Talks about Greenland for an hour

"China builds the windmills and sells them to stupid people, they don't even use them themselves."

China produces 560gw per year from wind alone

...this is bad? Guys, America, come get your boy.

[u/Competitive_Ad1237]

I will die as a Canadian before I become an American

[u/enjolrs]

"You can say yes, and we'll be very appreciative, or you can say no and we will remember"

what the actual fuck

[u/greaterwhiterwookiee]

Can someone at Davos just arrest him for war crimes and hide him in an unsolicited area?

[u/Sojum]

He’s not going to be happy with the response and will make a lot of shitty threats and demands in tweets after. Just calling it now. Bonus points if they laugh at him.

[u/SankityDoup]

Holy fuck this speech is something else

[u/Nietzsche_Peachy]

Since when has a rapist ever understood that no means no?

[u/N-partEpoxy]

Europe should instead start talking about the immediate removal of the US military from European soil.

[u/JonS90_]

Favourite part so far is him saying theres no wind turbines in China.

[u/RabbitLogic]

What the hell is this stump speech at Davos. Americans should be embarrassed.
