Has Trump Completely Lost It?

Which is better....to try to anticipate future problems and take precautions or wait until something drastic happens and then deal with it?
Greenland is a huge landmass and strategically placed. Any sensible politician can see the potential benefit to a country hostile to the west.

You are a bit behind the times - that was agreed decades ago between Truman, Greenland/Denmark.

The original agreement remains unaltered.

Anyway, any normal head of state wanting to discuss closer ties or reviving former bases in a territory with its own government but belonging to a fellow NATO member, would surely go about it diplomatically. Not Trump, who started "discussion" off by threatening to take over Greenland.

I can only imagine that at an early age he learnt to grab whatever he wanted from his siblings - and was not taught to modify that attitude.

I've always thought he did not have a comfortable or particularly happy upbringing, mentally and emotionally. It's alleged his father was motivated largely by 'winning' and accruing money and I get the impression that if you weren't 100% one of the achievers in the family, you'd be ridiculed and rather scorned.

Obviously, I'm only speculating on what I've read and I'm no expert in human behaviour, not at all.

Also, I'm not trying to defend his frequently rather outrageous behaviour by such speculation - but it could explain it to some degree.

It could explain why he constantly needs to congratulate himself; why he carelessly inflicts chaos and violence abroad and also on his own people. And why he needs the flattery and sycophantic approval of his close 'cabinet' as well as his wider audience. If he loses in the mid-terms (next month?) I believe he will find it almost impossible to accept it.

I've read that, as a child, he was mercilessly teased sometimes, maybe this was alleged by his niece, I'm not sure, but if true - as with the other allegations about his childhood, he's been brought-up in a pretty toxic environment, though probably doesn't realise it as he speaks affectionately of his mother and seems proud of his father... so who knows.

Short answer - yes

Mister Trump has clearly modelled himself on Josef Stalin, surrounded by sycophants who 'adored' him because they lived in fear they could be spirited away, at any time for any reason, to a Siberian labour camp. As several millions were.

Think of Trump's regiment of ICE thugs, just picking people off the streets and disappearing them at the behest of a tyrant president. Too many similarities with the old USSR.

Dunno about that.

I think it's more likely that his sycophants are afraid of losing their positions and the prestige and lifestyle that go hand in hand if they say "no" instead of "yes".

Stalin murdered many thousands of people. More than Hitler. I don’t think Trump, bad as he is, is anything like that.

I read in the week that trump has invited Putin to the G20 meeting.

I hope the rest of the G20 will boycott it.
