“The United States has reached out to Denmark…”

You know, the country the United States wants to invade and forcefully take land from.

America: The dumbest rocks in the sock drawer.

      What’s ironic is that from all countries he is asking Denmark. Greenland is An autonomous territory under the kingdom of Denmark.

      I heard that before asking Greenland he was asking Canada as well.

        Is he trying to neg us by threatening our sovereignty and then asking for a favour??? Most high schoolers know better than to fall for that. Like, get real.

          I think that’s the point. Bullying/Threatening countries and then “asking” them for help. Then if they don’t oblige he uses it to booster support for the bullying and threats. Similar ordeal with cutting aid to Egypt and then asking them to take something like 1.5 million people in from Gaza that Trump doesn’t want on their homeland.

    Denmark, from who they want to steal Greenland. They are obviously terminally stupid in Washington.

    Help? Help? What happened to wanting to be a proud independent country that don’t need no allies.

    This is why we HAD allies. Had. To assist with the largesse we consume as Americans. You don’t get to swing your orange dick around at the world, offending and assaulting every ally, and then ask for help.

    As a true American, don’t help us with eggs, it’l hurt your country in the long run. Let us suffer so we can get our heads out of our asses and purge the nazis.

    “You will become part of the US.”

    I would love to see NATO countries (besides the US) band together and say:

    ”We will come together to support our great ally, so long as she saves herself. Upon the acceptance of President Trump’s and Vice President Vance’s resignation, we will provide the aid that our friend needs."

    Trump could, in fact, be the hero here. He could walk away from the presidency with a win. For added measure, these countries could write lofty and wonderful articles about Trump’s selflessness.

    We know he won’t.

    Aside: I’m not saying Mike Johnson would make a good president. But let’s take this one thing at a time.

      Honestly, I love this idea. Why aren’t America’s former allies calling for the resignation of Trump and Vance? Let the American people know that if they want cheaper eggs, and better trade deals, they’re going to have to find a way to get rid of these traitors who have seized power.

      Well, he solved it on day one.

      On day two, eggs went unexpectedly expensive again. It’s not his fault.

    Oh now Trump wants allies?

    Recognize the passive voice: “The US has reached out”. They don’t say Trump reached out or the Trump administration reached out.

    I thought the US didn’t need anything from anyone else? Isn’t that what you said?
