Addison Mitchell McConnell III has slowed way down and I mean wayyyy dowwwn. When you watch this next clip you’ll think that somebody has slowed down the video. McConnell doesn’t sound drunk, he merely is moving at a reduced speed. It’s a good thing for him and everybody else that he decided to hand over the gavel to John Thune.
Sen. Mitch McConnell:
“I have yet to hear from this administration a single thing we need from Greenland that this sovereign people is not already willing to grant us.”

That’s the truth. Denmark is willing and ready to grant anything reasonable. Whether Trump feeling he needs to own or totally control Greenland for his “golden (what else?) dome” is his own hangup. And him mocking the efforts of Denmark isn’t making him friends either there or in the global community.
Trump: “I can’t rely on Denmark being able to fend themselves off. You know, we were talking about, you know they put an extra dog, & they were serious about this, they put an extra dogsled there last month…That’s not gonna do the trick.”

Denmark hasn’t gone to the dogs but Trump has. And he’s dragging America with him. We look like idiots to the rest of the world.
Dang. McConnell is on the right track here (for once) but it’s definitely on slow track.
