This is dumb, even for Trump.

This is dumb, even for Trump. Threatening our allies to give us their territory because we want it means we have no allies.

Trump warns allies over Greenland
President signals use of tariffs against nations that oppose US action
By Daniel Niemann and Darlene Superville Associated Press

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — President Donald Trump suggested Friday that he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the U.S. controlling Greenland, a message that came as a bipartisan congressional delegation sought to lower tensions in the Danish capital.

In holiday message to Trump, Putin looks forward to 'cooperation' in 2018
I knew we should back Trump. He’s our best weapon, ever.

Trump for months has insisted that the U.S. should control Greenland, a semiautonomousterritory of NATO ally Denmark, and said earlier this week that anything less than the Arctic island being in U.S. hands would be “unacceptable.”

During an unrelated event at the White House about rural health care, he recounted Friday how he had threatened European allies with tariffs on pharmaceuticals.

“I may do that for Greenland too,” Trump said. “I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland because we need Greenland for national security. So I may do that,” he said.

Putin and Xi must be having champagne toasts. What kind of renegade nation has this traitorous, psychopathic fool turned us into? Is there anyone left in the Republican Party who has the moral courage to say, “Enough is enough?”

Even the corrupt Supreme Court must wonder what kind of Frankenstein monster they have created with their pusillanimous rulings. 

As for our former allies, I suspect they now have learned that if you feed a rat, the rat will keep coming back for more and more and more. Those nations that caved to Trump’s previous tariff threats are now seeing the same threats.

So, what did they gain by caving? And what have Americans gained, except higher prices?Trump Boulevard: Florida street now bears president's name

The Kennedy Center became the Trump-Kennedy Center. So, expect Greenland to become “Trumpland.” Hey, let’s go all the way, MAGAs and call it the United States of Trump and rename all the streets “Trump Blvd.,” “Trump Ave.,” “Trump Street,” and “Trump Alley.”  

I’ll end this post now, because I need to take a Trump in the Trumper.

Enjoy your slavery.

  1. The time has come for every sna nation on earth to break ties with the USA and let Trumpland shrink into the size of the stupid fool’s childhood sandbox.
    I apologize to all Americans, but if you can’t stand up to him, you are going to sizzle like a burned up candle.

    1. This is not exactly a reply. It is another voice, this time from Paul Krugman:

      The Stupidest Trump Move So Far Just kill me now. Or tariff me. Whatever.

      Donald Trump has many weird obsessions, but his fixation on acquiring Greenland may be the weirdest. Alas, it’s also consequential.

      European nations are taking it seriously enough that they have sent military forces into Greenland — not exactly to fight off an invasion, but to serve as a tripwire that would mean that U.S. forces trying to seize the island would have to open fire on allies.

      This would be an awesome act, and also an order that the U.S. military might (and should) disobey.

      So Trump is making his all-purpose response:

      TRUMP VOWS TARIFFSON EIGHT EUROPEAN NATIONS OVER GREENLAND

      Some quick thoughts, in no particular order:

      · European deterrence has worked. This is basically a howl of frustration on the part of a mad dictator who has just realized that he can’t send in the Marines

      · A tariff to promote territorial expansion is clearly illegal, under any sane interpretation of U.S. trade law. This is on the Supreme Court, which is obviously dithering while the world burns

      · Trump thinks, or at least wants to believe, that tariffs are a Veg-O-Matic policy that can accomplish all goals. They slice! They dice! They eliminate budget deficits! They reindustrialize! They intimidate foreigners!

      · These are nations that allegedly made trade deals with Trump. They’ve just learned what they should have known from the beginning: a deal with Trump lasts until he feels like breaking it

      · Greenland? We’re going to demolish what’s left of our credibility for Greenland?
