He says he's come to an agreement with Denmark to establish a military presence in Greenland, with a view to incorporating it into the US as the 51st state.
Denmark are silent.
Don't say he's making it up?

I understand that the citizens of the USA will hear fewer speeches from Mr Trump, as his banning of certain news outlets has resulted in a withdrawal of all media attending his events.
The one clip I did see was of the POTUS words at a ribbon cutting ceremony completely drowned out by the noise of the helicopter behind him.

So let’s hope our media follow suit because I’m sick of seeing Trump on tv every day. I’m sure we only saw previous Presidents occasionally?
I also think Burnham did well at the UN and with Trump, he didn’t look uncomfortable or phased by the man and simply took it in his stride. But could just be beginners luck, Trump was ok with Starmer until he wasn’t.
Here is some interesting reading at least. Nothing will come if it, but it does g7 e a comprehensive list of all his illegal and unconstitutional actions all in one place.

Maybe they will impeach Trump, then they get Vance hardly an enticing prospect.
Fallingstar, I always thought Starmer looked 'eager to please' with Trump.
One of the reasons he made that dreadful error about Mandelson.
Thanks imaround, will look at your post.

I used to think Trump was a joke but the situation he has put us all in is way beyond a joke.
I find it very sad that, although there are great numbers of very intelligent USA citizens, it is the MAGA idiots who seem to be running the country led by the biggest idiot of them all.
I sometimes wonder if, historically, Europe gathered all their village idiots together, put them on boats and shipped them across the Atlantic.
... it is the MAGA idiots who seem to be running the country led by the biggest idiot of them all.
MAGA individuals in positions of power and influence have a lot to lose if they fail to capture the mid-terms - so it's not really "idiocy" but rather sycophantic self-interest I think. They know which side their bread is buttered.
The idiocy rather rests with those who have no bread to butter and who don't understand that their lives are being controlled by a bunch of wealthy elites, basically oligarchs.
Then I think there's another group of people who are well aware of Trump's narcissistic personality but because he hates the same people they do, they will vote for him, regardless.
One thing I am pleased about is that his supporters on GN have now seemed to have disappeared.
Perhaps the hard of thinking have finally thought😊

They're not 'hard of thinking' - for one reason or another... or several - posters on GN don't care about the man's failings.
The point is he is representative of a conservative, right-wing political ideology - and that's what they agree with - it just so happens that at this moment in time, that ideology, that POV, has a very unpleasant old man at its helm.
It's not Trump - it's the ideology - and as he hasn't yet shot anyone on 6th Avenue, and he sometimes forcefully underlines a particular point or policy that chimes with them and elicits a "bravo!" - he'll do for the moment.

OMGG! Thank you imaround - some of these go back 9 years and they still haven't had their day in court with him! I wonder why?!
Trump is already a nightmare to all of us! Petrol prices, food prices, insecurity all because of this President! If I wrote what I really felt I would be banned on here for life !!!
The biggest puzzle to me is what does that say about the people who voted for him?
Surely that can see how he behaves?
Greenland never had a problem with US military presence on their island - they always were welcome. I believe US had 6 military bases, but they let 5 of them go derelict.
I think Trump is interested to usurp Greenland's mineral rights.
History will tell you he was the greatest president ever, he bows to no man, gets things done, speaks straight and does t suffer fools gladly, the problem is the people of today groupthink, behave like sheep and do as their told without applying any logic or thoughts of their own, sad times
It's another pathetic scheme to feed his massive ego.
Trump, Putin, Netanyahu the three most dangerous men in the world today and Trump is at the forefront. He is at the very best an unstable liar but probably also plain incompetent. How on earth did he manage to get elected twice as president?!

Because these who got rich by dubious means know he will turn a blind eye and protect their interests, and those who dislike immigrants and anyone they label as ‘woke’ know that Trump hasn’t got a humane bone in his body and so will translate their dislike into brutal expulsions of immigrants by ICE operatives.

I wish I could imagine what a Vance Presidency would look like. It would either be 10x worse because he isn't an idiot or he flops because he isn't very popular. Either way, I prefer to keep the enemy we know at this point. He just needs his wings cut off and some duct tape over his mouth.

Rather a lot of people are asking that question.
Do you remember Boris Johnson once publicly criticised Trump and then, later - when he (Johnson) became our PM - he promptly changed his tune?
When intelligent and supposedly educated individuals willingly uphold the legitimacy of a frequently incoherent, narcissistic, convicted criminal, you can only assume it must be because of self-preservation or self-interest.
That could be one of the reasons?
He lost the plot years ago, he used to mock Joe Biden calling him sleepy joe etc and look at him, Im a retired Mental Health Professional and I’m seriously saying I have never seen a bigger narcissistic deluded person as him.
I just can’t understand how anyone could support his mad behaviour or how his wife is still with him.
The Democrats should have replaced Biden and given the electorate a democratically elected alternative. Biden had said he would only be president and reneged on it. Even now they don’t seem to have a creditable alternative to Trump. The whole world is being affected by this. And Trump is trying to make America a dictatorship having learned lessons from his idol, Putin. Imo I just hope I’m wrong, though. It terrifies me.
I see the Maga crowd have found this thread in the person of monami. Dear me. None so blind as those that will not see
