Donald Trump the Megathread part II - mod warnings in OP, Updated 18/03/25

It literally says in the text he defended his referring to Trump in that manner.

If he repeated it, you'd say it was a bad move because of Trumos influence, if he apologized, you'd say he was a bootlicker, he defended having made the comment without repeating it, you're still not happy.

Greenland. Then onto liberate the brits 🫡🫡

Trump isn't elected yet and already.

He has said he won't be able to bring down grocery prices after campaigning on being able to do so.

He has implied he would consider military action on Panama, Mexico, Greenland for various nonsensical reasons and has threatened an increase in violence in the Middle East. All this despite claiming he was addicted to peace and a great negotiator.

Do his advocates on here feel like he lied to them just a little?

Trump refused to rule out a military invasion to get what he wants from Denmark and Panama. He claims those lands either belong to them or they need them for extra security.

The parallels with history continue to grow.

I am with you on that, he is deadly serious about all of what he is saying. He is known to not have an ounce of humour, yet we have a few posters who chime in and say he is joking, they also claim to be “centrist”.

Just look at the reactions from the plastic goblins on fox.

I’m guessing tariffs and threats are what Trump thinks will make him different or more aggressive. All is shows is that he is as bad a politician as he was a businessman.

Its impossible to lie to them. Like you can see on the previous page where Trumps "defeat" of Trudeau is "explained" theres always a retcon that "corrects" things to reflect Trumps brilliance.

I'm sure Trump would lower food prices but its the woke corrupt liberal communist facist corporations like Walmart and Denmark that are stopping him. Trump would of course lower the prices, I mean he said he would. If Ivanka was Queen of Greenland and Elon Lord of Canada every TruthSocial subscriber would get a free Danish and Maple Syrup delivered in a self-driving Tesla every morning. But its the woke thats stopping him MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

Greenland is an island so it will have to be a bridge!!!!!!!!

All this talk of Canada, Panama and Greenland is pure diversionary tactics. The USA has no chance to take over any of them. It's all soundbites and click bait for the MAGA base to divert their attention away from any meaningful policies or promises the Fanta Fraud made to them pre election.

In as few sentences, the entire point of what Donnie is doing, and frankly has done since entering "politics".

In what amounts to possibly the only slither of "planning" in Donnie's mind, Greenland etc… has plenty in common with The Wall™ specifically the fact that it's something that's never likely to be resolved in the next 4 years. He can cart out one of these imperialist nuggets to keep his MAGA chuds distracted while the rest of the country complain about him failing to run the US as is actually stands today.

The 2 results of this are that the 4 nations currently being targeted by Trump will have a slightly harder headache when dealing with the US (we're all going to have one regardless), and that the MAGA Cultists might start doing unfortunate things in service of Donnie's childish whims. I can easily imagine a gaggle of MAGA dimwits taking a flight to Nuuk, finding an empty spot in the wilderness (Greenland has plenty of that) and establishing their own little "Fort Trump" to back up a US claim. They would however be MAGA dimwits, of the JFK jr. in Dallas variety, so they'd likely be in the runnings for a Darwin Award by not preparing propery for sub-Arctic conditions (which would come as a shock to people who are likely from the Deep South).

The great negotiator and anti-war leader.

All this reminds me of the film "Canadian Bacon" was a comedy but looks like a documentary now.

Also a great movie.

Mod Edit: Warned for uncivil posting

As in "your national sovereignty" does not matter a hoot to me, I will use my military to invade your country and territory if I so please. That is what he means with his version of bargaining with Norway, Canada, Mexico and Panama. We have an ongoing situation here in Europe where another president, well known and admired by Trump, is exercising his nations military to such an end in a neighbouring state.

Arguing that Trump does not mean what he actually said, that he is using the words as a bargaining tool, does not get away from the fact that others in the US listening to him will put a different interpretation on them and take them to be a call to arms. He's had great success with that since he became president in the first place in the US, through acolytes "misinterpretation" of his words. He might interpret the SCOTUS ruling on "official presidential duty actions" loudly to a wrong end.

Its worthwhile recalling that this particular US president has properties here, one of which involved a row with the local civil authority on his building a wall.
