Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

that’s the other thing… the complete lack of even sympathy or empathy for such a needless loss of life. They couldn’t even defend it with an ounce of decorum or sadness. Straight on the attack so cold and callous in trying to justify it. Despicable human beings!!

Belgian FM visiting DC tomorrow.

Belgium calling for a military mission to Greenland that would address US security concerns.

The point about the ICE militia being sent into Democrat cities (where they are not wanted) is a very pertinent one : clearly an attempt by the regime to intimidate them and 'put manners on them'.

Having their bunch of anonymous thugs out creating fear in democratic areas suits them.

Which is, of course, the very definition of "domestic terrorism". Funny how no-one in America - and it certainly looks like no-one - cares enough about their precious fossilised Constitution and it's even more precious 2nd Amendment to do anything about it.

Meanwhile, the US government tells Americans in Venezuala to GTFO for their own safety. Is that the same Venezeula that they told us they'd put themselves in charge of until further notice?

It's that kind of detachment that, I think, will be the downfall of this administration. One or other member of the Trump regime will do something monumentally stupid in the civilised world and really piss off people who've been harbouring anti-American sentiment for a long time. And when it happens, the Americans won't be ready for the almighty wallop landed on them.

Will there be mid-term elections? Will he engineer a war or crisis to cancel them?

Apparently kids in Greenland are losing sleep thinking US soldiers will break down their doors.

I'm watching Michael Moore in Trumpland - which came out in 2016. Some of the stuff in it makes you want to check it's not a parody.

One direct quote "Well Trump didnt have it handed down to him like Hilary did, from her parents."

On CNN during the week I heard a former FBI director say that it was normal to bring a police officer or federal agent to hospital if they had been involved in a shooting, even if they had not been injured. It's policy that they get a once over.

Not dissimilar to how air traffic controllers get breathalysed and bloods drawn if a plane they are controlling crashes.

It's just part of the procedure.

That's one thing that has me worried given his faith-adherence and what happened to others under the Nazis. It's like a Hebrew faith member being the person in charge of the SD.

There are rumours European countries might deploy troops there to deter the US. I think Europe is probably divided though. Some may feel that the Trump threats are a negotiating strategy to get more security there. I suspect an effort to use foreign policy to distract from Epstein.

The most important thing to Trump is money. So the EU should use economic leverage, like the impending passage of the much criticised EU-US trade agreement that forces the EU to have 0% tariffs on US imports, while the US has 15% tariffs on imports from the EU. I think that deal was a sellout by the way. As a carrot, greater access to the vast untapped Greenlandic mineral wealth e.g. uranium, oil, rare earths should be offered.

I see the 5 parties in Greenland have released a statement saying they don't want to be Americans, they don't want to be Danes. They want to be Greenlanders.

Firstly, 5 parties for 60,000 is farcical. Secondly, its a very ill advised statement. Ideals are lovely, but when your back is against the wall you don't come out with nonsense like that. Denmark and the EU are more than likely willing to defend the territory but with a statement like that they may think, why put ourselves in harms way. Let them sort it out themselves. Its a monumentally stupid stance when caught between a benign landlord and an aggressive invader.

She lost because Trump was more popular. That is how it works.
