After weeks of authoritarian threats to crush protests with the military, cancel elections, conquer foreign countries, and send masked agents door-to-door to round up anyone who can’t prove their citizenship, Trump on Wednesday told an already uneasy room full of world leaders that “sometimes you need a dictator.”
The offhanded comment came in the middle of a rambling speech at the reception dinner for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, in which Trump congratulated himself on a different rambling speech he’d given earlier that day at the summit.
“We had a good speech, we got great reviews. I can’t believe it, we got good reviews on that speech,” Trump said of the widely mocked address in which he continued to demand the US take over Greenland (which he repeatedly referred to as “Iceland”) and made new tariff threats against Canada and Europe if they resist the annexation.
Unfortunately high. It’s the same reason there’s a “space force”. He didn’t know about the coastguard and guessed something else, then doubled down.
No, Space Force was a thing in the works for a while before he took office.
Just goes to show how much people ranting on the Internet know what they’re talking about…
Fine…
But they could have called it Star Command or something more sci-fi. Im giving them no credit for creativity to the point there is even a Netflix comedy show released that same year.
I don’t think creativity is the goal for any branch of the armed forces. They’re kind of big on uniformity
