The US president on Wednesday said he was seeking “immediate negotiations” to acquire Greenland, but vowed not to use force to seize the territory.

      This is more “he agrees with the last person he talked to” thing he always does. Peter Theil still wants his shithole utopia on Greenland, so he will likely flip back when he talks with him again.

      So stupid all of this.

      Yeah the dude flips more than a light switch. He says what he thinks sounds good for that moment. That’s the limit of his ideals, unless it makes money then he does that.

      Cause he’s a greedy narcissist. Really that’s all you need to know, if it benefits him (I think he thought calming down rhetoric during that speech would make him appear better) he does it, that’s it. No deep end, no big 4d chess, he’s simpler than peasants portrayed in movies.

      My bet is tomorrow.

      Some marines probably woke up this morning and got issued cold weather gear for a surprise arctic exercise.

      Yes, but trump

      The Cheetos does this All. The. Fucking. Time.

      Threaten to do something, then threaten to buy it maybe instead? Then just chicken out.

      Invading Greenland would have been successful, because of course it would have been,the IS is the best at invading right now. But keeping Greenland? That would have cost thousands of US lives, insurgencies all over the place, it would be a shit show.

      So now trump tacos… again.

          They also only live in a pretty small area of the country.

          Or maybe just deport them? To where you ask? Who cares, USA clearly doesn’t.

      And he will soon win the Preparation H Peace Prize in addition to the Footy Peace Prize he’s already won!

    He’s got an idea of a concept of a framework of a deal.

    That, and Epstein will never be in the news again.

    But hey, Elliott from thirtysomething amirite?

    I wish his pledges were actually worth as much as his threats are, but… his threats are actually pretty credible. He’s doing the Nixon mad man thing but seems like everyone’s believing it.

    I wish I had had the courage to buy these dips he’s been manufacturing, but every time I have this feeling that if I get in there, this time it won’t be like last time.

    This is just taking every single word that comes out of Trump’s mouth seriously. A bad tactic.
