K ... Everyone say it with me ... "He can't do that"

Just so painfully stupid.
hohohoooo

Can we please give Greenland the power to veto anything the US does, because that can only improve things.
futhor
And I demand power to veto his veto. Checkmate.
manystripes
Oooh do Israel next!
mynamespaul
The USA ALREADY HAD that power. It has been the entire ethos of US foreign policy for decades. A web of agreements, treaties and alliances they make most of the free world support the US and broadly align with its interests. The idea that Greenland would make a deal with China was UNTHINKABLE for decades… and then they fucking potato Trump got power and pissed away all the advantages, supports, stability and leverage the US had… just to achieve the goal of making life worse for 99% of Americans

He clearly doesn't know who's holding the cards, does he?
DrSchlepenstein
He needs to die already.
psmith00
part of Project 2025, America becomes the preemptive power of the whole Western hemisphere. no country allowed to do anything with America's approval.

Aw come on! We need it for our mass-surveillance -- I mean, uhh, "Data Centers," heh heh yeah that's what I meant heh heh.
Uptoo11ven
Of course he only wanted to take Greenland so he could exploit the natural resources and make a big beautiful profit and not for national defense.
SlayerOfGoat
Demands a clause in what? It's like saying "The two of you consent, but isn't there someone you're forgetting to ask?" This world is bullshit.
kwyjjibo
The US and Greenland/Denmark are in negotiations in an attempt to dissuade the US from just annexing Greenland by force. They want to expand the US military presence in Greenland for "Arctic defense", keep the military there even if Greenland becomes independent, and control over the resources there (complete with veto power over any foreign resource deals). I don't know why they'd negotiate with someone who'd never honor any deals anyways, but I guess its better than just waiting for an attack.
MapleSyrupMafia
Well... they had more military presence and bases there, THEY decided to pack their shit and only leave one operational. Greenland even offered them to go back to the previous amount of troops/bases and Mango Mussolini said no. They gave him consent and he does not like it, he wants to force himself and his stupid ressources deal that will benefit himself and no one else.
morrighan42
Attack with what weapons? We're damn near out apparently due to the BS with Iran
cowgoesmoo1
Because, like contractors who continue to do work for Trump (only to find later they don't get paid), world leaders continue to deal with him as though he is rationale.
For students of history, it's like with the Brits and French "negotiated" with Hitler by foolishly thinking they were dealing with him in good faith when all along he wasn't.
itwasababyox
Ughhh yes, it's maddening. Just freeze him out and fuck us up. It's the only thing to do.
Buffoonery
You fucken twat. You ain't got a goddamn thing to say about it. Go take another nap, you slimy POS.

Invasion of Greenland in 3, 2......
cousteau
Unsurprising; he thinks he's the king of the world and that everyone shall bend to his will.
Volmaaral
There was that whole obsession with Greenland, and that got stonewalled so hard he got distracted by something else. Did he… misremember and think that he had successfully taken it over? Just how shot is his brain?!
miklkit
Maybe if he was friends with Denmark and NATO...................
Aranon1183
I feel sorry for Greenlanders.
DeepThought42
What if the billionaires are pushing drump to grab Greenland so they can cover it with AI data centers? Water and cooling are huge needs for data centers.
Ivain
This just in: "Toddler demands he gets to ban little Jimmy who lives 5 blocks away but occasionally shares a playground from buying from the ice cream truck."
georgejimmydoodle
Who fucking reminded him that Greenland exists? Nobody better goddamn mention Canada.
JRSYJAY
That’s just a violation of sovereignty, isn’t it?!?
Ghlargh
But that's the one unique thing that the US does best!
valen00
Technically probably not? Like if china and the US want to make deals about how they will deal with a third nation that's not uncommon. (kinda the basis for the EU in a way) Doesn't mean it's not fucked up however.

Also, there's a similar agreement already in place with the UK (?!)

I didn't have a pay wall...
Did you guys?
Frankasti
Yes, paywall. Unfortunately that person's link has the same problem.
BillHubbard
Has that senile idiot forgotten Greenland is not his to decide over?
FelonyRaptor
That fat fuck has been spoiled and entitled so much from the day he was born, and now he's being worshiped and allowed so much he basically thinks the whole world is his plaything to do what ever with.
And he's basically right too, excluding the rare few leaders with some balls that have at least spoken against him.
Donfolstar
He's not real big on consent.
JackHL01
Again . . .
wazeewa
You think he gives a shit about that? He's going to do whatever he wants and think whatever he wants because NO ONE is stopping him.
whiskeywonka
He forgot that before he thought about it.
cousteau
You lost me at "he thought".
laurapede83
Yes, but to him it doesn't matter. He's just gonna talk shit and post sundowner fantasy until taco Tuesday and then onto winning the war with Iran and then..... who the fuck knows, not even his people or his own self and at this point I'm afraid to ask ffs.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
He never accepted it in the first place.
joshuasplinth
Oh god, then he’ll say, “take it then! I thought we already had! Get JD Couch-fucker in here!”
cousteau
He just keeps demanding stuff to see if it works. He loses nothing by trying so he keeps going at it.
Germanswisscheese
You're dealing with a man who has never once been told, "no." He's never been denied anything. He's also never been challenged to risen to a challenge in his life.
TheMightyFloofer
I feel like this man has been told no more often than any1, he just dousnt listen & hires the guy who says yes and no1 does anything about it
ChazzK
He literally believes "I said it, so it is so." He has said more than once that his executive orders are "law."
30BettysAgree
Remember Steven Miller's comment about Trump's "plenary authority" followed by his deafening silence during a live interview?

TheDiscoVampire
Classic case of mama's boy.
MagnumRadhard
Oooooh I'm sure he's been told "no" before...
Eldis
yeah, but not by someone who can readily stop him
cowgoesmoo1
Yeah, by children and women. And then he does what he wants to anyway.
Illpostcheese
From what you can get from the Epstien files, he probably had the little girl's teeth yanked if they said no.
AWarningToOthers
JFC by the time this man is out of office the world will look at us and go "Time to take ol Yeller out behind the barn. Sorry old girl."
theworldcouldbeflat
That happened after his first term catch up.
certainlynotaserialkiller
We already did. Nobody is dealing with the US unless it cant be avoided and only then until a non-US replacement is set up so you can avoid them.
friendsofsandwiches
old urange.
And he's needed to be taken to the shed for over 7 years now
Andersen81
*80 years. His mom should have opted for the coat hanger.
friendsofsandwiches
I have to wonder how much of that is genetics, and how much of that is his fucked up father.
AllegedlyUncleTonton
We already do that
MioTaalas
Trust in the USA will not return till you fix EVERYTHING that lead to this farce...
Your voting system, voting laws, laws that ACTIVELY protect workers rights to unionize, laws against corruption etc.
Then you restructure your WHOLE GOVERNMENT such that there's NOBODY above the law. Absolutely nobody. Only Congress can write and pass laws, president can't veto, president can't pardon etc. corruption is illegal and courts MUST prosecute that immediately or lose their jobs etc.
Huor
Oh, we're past that point. We're now at the stage where we roll our eyes and say, "that crazy old fucker behind the 7-11 is yelling gibberish again"
TheWombatStrikesAgain
But it can't so it won't. The rot will continue to fester until something drastic happens.
Yes, that means Trump likely will not count as drastic enough of an event for those purposes.
wedeliveredabomb
ol Yeller is America at this point?

They keep trying, but even as laughably incompetent as the Secret Service is under Donald trump, they still managed to stop the assassination each time
madjo
What do you mean "by the time he's out of office"? We started thinking that when you guys elected him for a second time
Zobbie
Bush then Trump, I wonder how bad you can actually fuck this up. So even if you manage to roll back some of it over the next four years with a Democrat, next round would be some Trump squared retard. I am warming up the popcorn here in the 3rd world.
FetaForMoses
Oh it’s been way before that

Cough first time cough
cousteau
First time was a bit like "ok they sorta couldn't have predicted that he was exactly as crazy as he seemed, because they're idiots who think a guy running a show isn't gonna be exactly as bad as he seems" so at least I understand some of them fell for it (but holy shit, you had to be blind not to see it was gonna be that bad). But second time? Ffs they had a four-year trial version and still went for it!
