That Trump’s ego gets his knickers in a uproar when someone tells him “no”, is clearly seen in his controversy with Denmark over Greenland!
At his last time at bat, when Denmark said no to his offer to buy the island, his ego categorized the Danish PM’s no as being “nasty”!
This time at bat, the “no” is being categorized as “being unfriendly”!
But his smirking S.O.B., VP Vance has crossed the line! :twisted:
Calling a friend and ally; whose soldiers have fought; and yes, died side by side with Americans in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria for “bad allies” is crossing the line!!! :roll:

Enough rope to hang themselves, and buyers remorse.
Two phrases that should mean that the US mid term elections should neuter them.
I spend a little time on hard line conservative comments pages, just to keep informed, and to be honest to have a little laugh.
They are crowing about "the death of woke", and the start of the Trump dynasty. Apparently first Trump senior, then Vance, then the Trump family will usher in a new era, based on Project 25, but going harder core as they accustom society to accept their new regime.
Sorry about breaking Godwin's Law, but the phraseology is so similar to the 1930s. I doubt that they are parroting it as they aren't scholars, but just replicating the mind set 90 years later.

…The Gaza Strip!!!
One of the most; if not THE most, contentious, and fought-over areas on the planet! :roll:
Trump wants to turn it into a Trump style resort! Complete with white sand beaches, 5 - 4 star hotels, restaurants and shops!
…just as an extra incitement: car-bombs, kidnappings and drive by shootings, curtesy of the original inhabitants.
Just the thing for the discerning traveler, looking for something new and interesting!!!

…one way or the other!
It’s one thing to spew braggadocio and unsubstantiated claims out over the Social networks, something which Trump has mastered!
In his address to Congress he doubled down on his aim to acquire the Danish Self-ruling province Greenland…by one means or the other!
This despite that the Danish Federal government, the Greenland Home Rule government and people have all said repeatedly ; “Thank You, but not interested”!
That leaves …“one means or the other”!
Financial? A 50-100% crippling tariff on Danish goods?
Force? Well neither Denmark nor Greenland could withstand a US land grab!
Hello “Carpetbaggers”!!!
Something that would ensure the United States of America an honored seat in The Axis of Evil, along with such sterling examples, as Russia, North Korea and Iran!!!

Being part of NATO, Denmark could invoke the mutual defence clause and get US assistance against a foreign agressor?

But the USoA would take center place. For its back-stabbing treachery against a friend and ally of more than 80 years!
A new transferee to the American military base Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, questioned his sergeant as they were stepping out of their plane.
“Say Sarge, are we here to help protect the native Greenlanders…or are we here to kick their ass?
