    Jokes aside, but what have Greenland and Canada even done to him so that he wants to invade them? I got the Venezuela reasons, but is this really again because of the oil reserves?

    “Trolls”? Fuck off, seriously. He’s going to invade and bomb Greenland and what, are the headlines just going to read “Trump trolls Nuuk citizens”?

    Is Trump going to invade and bomb Canada and we’ll get to see headlines the next day saying “Epic troll, Trump just flattened Ottawa”? Sorry, I guess “we” as in the rest of the world will see those headlines because I’d be dead

    Fuck

        I watched a movie from the 90s yesterday about civil war breaking out in America. There’s a scene where one newsanchor calmly tries to report on other news and the other newsanchor has an absolute meltdown telling him “fuck off, there is no other news”. I wanna see a reporter melt down like on air in real life. I wanna see the insanity be properly acknowledged

          Turns out that the movie Don’t Look Up may have been intended to satirize our response to climate change, but the portrayal of the media response is evergreen.

        Yeah, I’m generally used to American media doing that by now but this headline is just so absurdly dismissive of non-American lives that it’s infuriating

    He’s not doing this. Someone’s feeding it to him.

    Congress and Senate is virtually silent on the issues. This isn’t just Trump; this is representative of the USA.

      That is what concerns me the most. There should be so much opposition to crap like this. Like he shouldn’t even be able to just show that, this goes through so many people beforehand.

      Edit: sorry, just realised he posted it on Truth Social so he probably did this himself and maybe didn’t show anyone, but who are we kidding, he probably bragged about it in several meetings beforehand.

        There’s no way he’s opening photoshop and layering the US flag over those countries himself. Maybe he asked someone to do it or he was feed the photo and he passed it by.

          Are people forgetting there are GenAI tools for this now? He could sure as well have done this by prompting Grok or whatever.

        If only, miller himself is a puppet. There are very rich people behind all of what the party is doing. This is all a half century long game, pioneered in it’s first iteration in the business roundtable in like 1971.

    I wouldn’t use the word ‘troll’, maybe ‘mask off’.

    Edit: u/shittydwarf had “Threatens”, definitely a better word.

      Yeah troll is something that does not apply to a US president, even if they are mentally challenged and have the brainpower of a 8 year old spoiled child.

    That’s not trolling…that’s a threat that needs to be taken seriously. Wake up, America…you’re losing your country to fascists.

      I mean, trying to start WWIII is probably a bigger deal than anything we could find in the Epstein files. I’m not sure commiting even worse acts counts as a distraction.

      As if that mattered.

      He has established a dictatorship where he clearly is above any law and all other scrutiny. Whether he stuck his dick some place forbidden or not won’t undo him.
