Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America,” Mr. Trump wrote in the message, which was first published by PBS.

In the message, Mr. Trump also questioned Denmark’s claim to Greenland, saying, “There are no written documents,” and adding, “The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you!”

Duh there IS a written document, king baby :

“By the way, on that Trump’s claim that “there are no written documents” on Denmark’s ownership of Greenland (9:45), someone may want to point him out in the direction of this declaration signed in 1916 by the then US state secretary Robert Lensing, issued as the US and Denmark agreed to trade West Indies.

“In proceeding this day to the signature of the Convention respecting the cession of the Danish West-Indian Islands to the United States of America, the undersigned Secretary of State of the United States of America, duly authorized by his Government, has the honor to declare that the Government of the United States of America will not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland.
Robert Lansing.
New York, August 4, 1916”
Quite conclusive, if you ask me.”

No one is keeping Trump away from anyone, unless they take up arms against him. That's what Trump just announced.

Would you do that if you were in their shoes and feared for your life and the safety of your loved ones? I'm not sure I would. I just couldn't take that risk with my family's safety.

I mean why? If you are in on the graft, and resigning still carries risk (if they all start doing it Trump will realize its a revolt and the threats will still occur).

Jan 6 was very effective

He knows Norway isn't Denmark. But he is blaming Norway for not giving him enough rewards for being a good person, so he doesn't need to be a good person anymore. Like Brent Norwalk in the Good Place.

Another way to think about is that, even on his lucid days, Trump uses language purely in service of his goals, and Truth is not one of his goals. He is a dealmaker / negotiator of the "car salesman" variety and he'll say anything to pressure people to go his way, and craft fictional rationalizations to put opponents on the back foot. He doesn't operate at the level of intellectual debate, he operates at the level of snarling and baring teeth and foaming mouth to scare people into submission.

Trump is like this. My dad's once-thriving business went into Chapter 7, sadly, and there was nothing his family could do because he could not see his decline and he would not quit. He got nasty and defensive and did weird stuff as his dementia worsened. But he got up every morning, got dressed, drove in to work every day, did normal stuff, and still spoke very well, very lucidly most of the time right until he passed away. He wasn't able to make good decisions, which is why his business fell to ruin. He had some great employees, but they all quit when he refused to let them take over. It's so, so sad for our family.
But in Trump's case, it's our entire country that this intelligent, but demented man controls. We are in a very, very bad position right now. I'm doing what I can to prepare. Don't bury your heads in the sand. I've seen this before. The end is very ugly.

This! Trump's decline is accelerating before our eyes but so few can see it because he's still getting up every morning, putting on his suit, doing his makeup and hair, and going into the Oval Office and playing the role of president.

If the GOP representatives are such sniveling cowards then they should resign and let some courageous people take office.

Anonymous wrote:But he's a brilliant salesman. He got millions of Americans to vote for him. He's now demented and declining, but even in his decline, his sales skills were working and he got votes.

He's not stupid. He's got a personality disorder that's worsening as his dementia gets worse. Usually people who get Alzheimers get nasty as their minds go. Most of those people don't have access to the nuclear codes, but this man does.

Ask your GOP representatives to stop this madness. They hold the power to stop him. Why won't they do it? They are not all idiots. They can get other jobs if their supporters abandon them for doing the right thing and protecting our country from this monster in chief.

They're afraid first and foremost for their personal safety and the safety of their loved ones and secondarily for being targeted by Trump either politically (losing their seat) or through the threat of investigations and the like. It's like the mafia. You can never leave your mafia clan or family. If you try, you will be killed.

This is what MTG said in an interview:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: After President Trump called me a traitor, I got a pipe bomb threat on my house. And then I got several direct death threats on my son.

Lesley Stahl: On your son?

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: On my son.

Lesley Stahl: You say the president put your life in danger. You blame him. You say he "fueled a hot bed of threats against me" and that you blame him for the threats against your son.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: The subject line for the direct death threats on my son was his words. "Marjorie Traitor Greene." Those were death threats –-

Lesley Stahl: So you do, you blame -

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: – directly fueled by President Trump. And I told him. I told JD Vance. I told them all. Sent those directly to them.

Lesley Stahl: And? Response?

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: JD Vance replied back to me, "We'll look into it." I got [a] response from President Trump that I will keep private, but it wasn't very nice.

Lesley Stahl: Give us a hint of what the president said.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: It was extremely unkind.

Trump is not intelligent. He’s shrewd and cunning, and is a masterful cult leader. But not smart. And here we are.

He has a cluster b personality disorder. He will only get worse.

Because billionaires bought out the media outlets. CBS, CNN, Washington Post?

They don't care if he destroys the US if they can sell off the ashes.
