I don’t know who in the Trump family is taking what drug(s) but this is getting more batshit with each passing moment. Earlier today, in the wake of Justin Trudeau announcing that he was passing the torch to another in his party, Trump brayed as expected about Canada becoming a 51st state. Now, merely hours later, Trump is back with his stubby thumbs on Truth Social, vowing to send Junior and others on some kind of field trip, diplomatic mission, you tell me. (Maybe he’s so pissed at Junior for doing coke on camera and then calling it a ZYN pouch that he’s banishing him to Greenland? Who knows?) I’d say ask Kimberly but she’s ready to go alienate the Greeks while Junior prepares to insult the Danes. This is The Apprentice: Game Of Thrones edition.

Trump’s tweet ends: “of our Nation. We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside World. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!” Sounds like marriage vows, does it not? Not to mention patronizing. The big strong USA will protect poor little Greenland from the vicious, outside world, of which it is undoubtedly not aware. Donald, we have news for you: the inhabitants of Greenland are not stupid like you. Nobody is stupid like you. Now read this from this morning and look at the obvious similarities.
Less than two hours after Trudeau’s announcement, Trump weighed in on Truth Social, repeating his internet trolling.
“Many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st State,” Trump wrote.
“The United States can no longer suffer the massive Trade Deficits and Subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat. Justin Trudeau knew this, and resigned. If Canada merged with the U.S., there would be no Tariffs, taxes would go way down, and they would be TOTALLY SECURE from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them. Together, what a great Nation it would be!!!”
So you’re getting the drift here, this lunatic intends to take over as much of the northern hemisphere as possible and in doing so be neighbors with his BFF Vladimir Putin. This is a crazy way for an American president to talk but hey, we elected a lunatic. And the GOP is thrilled to have him, even though he is destroying the party and making it, and America generally, the laughing stock of the world.
This is Manifest Destiny, Trump style. Tell all the sovereign nations of the world, particularly if they’re your neighbors, that you expect them to drop everything and become part of the United States — at a time when the United States has less credibility in the world and commands less respect than at any time in its history.
We look like fools because we are fools. Enough people stayed home from the polls in 2024 and enough of the ones that didn’t voted for this POS and this is the embarrassment we will be enduring for four interminable years. (He hasn’t even been sworn in and I personally am exhausted.)
I would love to know why Don Junior is going to Greenland. Believe me, I’m looking around the internet for some information on that one. Since when did Junior become Daddy’s envoy? There’s more to this than meets the eye.
And there’s one gigantic issue which Trump is completely oblivous to: IF Canada or Greenland would ever become states — which they won’t but let’s just speculate rhetorically, shall we? — IF they did, they would vote the GOP into oblivion, forever.

Help if you can. And thank you once again to those who subscribe and donate regularly. You are the wind beneath our wings. Thank you. Ursula
Junior…STOP! When he kept talking about snow, white powder, mountains of crystals shining in the sun…he meant the kind you ski on. While you’re there, which native carnivore do you plan to stake down and shoot with a high powered rifle from 10 feet away? Do they have an oversized vicious rodent scurrying about?…I mean other than you.
the last person Greenland needs to see is cokehead junior. can they refuse him a visa?
I woulder if they can ban him from entering at all.
You’re treating this Greenland thing as a big joke. Of course Trump has his own uniquely idiotic kind of blather which makes anything sound meaningless, but doubt this idea came to him out of the blue. I doubt if Trump ever even heard of Greenland until pretty recently. There’s got to be something behind it. An MSNBC journalist named Hayes Brown has dug a little deeper:

I’m sure that the Canadians are envious of our great healthcare system here in ‘Merica
As a woman, Trump saying he wants to protect us and “cherish us” makes my blood run cold. I’m triggered by many things the Pumpkin Predator says, but particularly his stance on women. I read that Will Bunch article in the Philadelphia Inquirer the other day, about the real reason Trump won, which is male rage at losing their unfair advantages in this and other modern societies. (I don’t see the patriarchy dying any time soon.) Can you imagine what we could do if we harnessed female rage? I’ve got plenty! Where do I sign up for the Resistance?
I believe the line the Great Pumpkin uses is the same one Ted Bundy used to say to the ladies…as he was duck taping their ankles. How did a single woman vote for this rapist? Baffling.
There is a reason why Donnie Junior will never be in the military. The only way he can.kill anything is if the animal has no fear of humans and is driven toward him. He couldn’t protect an orca from an attack by baby seals.
