“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.

    Citizen of the United States here. Don’t. Assume whatever this orange anal fistula offers to pay will in fact not be paid. Assume whatever agreement brokered will immediately be ignored or violated. Assume this pus filled clementine will still try to “take” Greenland.

    Let this shithole 3rd world country burn. It asked for fascism in the form of egg prices, let them deal with their egg prices.

      As a Canadian, the US can have my eggs on the condition of the delivery method being lobbing them over the border at official government buildings.

      Also a Yank. At this point we really do deserve the punishment. I just hope that when we get a new administration in a little less than four years the world has a shred of sympathy for us.

        At the moment, you definitely do. Most of you, and not just Trump voters. Why are you guys so fucking passive? Where are the millions of people protesting on the streets? Where’s the civil disobedience? The strikes? With the attitude the Americans show currently, there will be no elections in 4 years, hell, there might not even be mid-term elections in 2

        Unfortunately Europe can’t wait four years for the US to start taking their responsibilities on the world stage seriously again. Russia will almost certainly move within that time, so Europe is now having to build up its defenses in a way that they’ve never previously had to do since the 1940s. Assuming the US does come around (that is a big “if”) by that point Europe will have already got used to using its own military. The US will no longer be required.

        I really don’t see any way that things can now go back to the way they were. Trade will, but I think the days of cooperative military action are over. If you guys get embroiled in another pointless war in the Middle East, I think you’re going to have to do that on your own.

        It will only take two years if people actually fucking vote in the midterms. But midterm turnout is historically… Well… Complete dogshit. And republicans are statistically more likely to vote in midterms.

        That’s why Trump is moving so fast to try and secure things; He doesn’t truly have four years to cement himself as god-emperor. He only has two before he potentially loses his majority in congress. So he has to be crowned before then.

        But even with that being said, I don’t have high hopes. As I said before, republicans are more likely to vote in midterms. Maybe Trump’s antics will be enough to get some blue voters off of their asses. But at this point, I’m not holding my breath.

          I’m a US citizen and I agree with them 100%. A bunch of us tried to tell everyone that Trump was a fascist dumpster fire that would try to make himself king, trash the economy and violate everyone’s civil and human rights. A bunch of ding dongs voted for him anyway. Now he’s making outlandish and insulting demands of our allies, fucking up trade and markets (along with abusing the civil and human rights of some protesters, asylum seekers and random travelers, oh, and throwing Ukraine under the bus and encouraging a fucking measles outbreak). So yeah, I don’t want my house and retirement savings to go into the shitter if the country goes full Nazi and I have to flee with nothing. So maybe if some folks have to do without eggs and cheap imports for a while they just might maybe learn that we need to pull the US out of this tailspin before it’s too late. Some fucking people just will not listen when you tell them the stove is hot. So now we all suffer while they touch the red hot burner and go “Duho, that hurts!”

    Air delivered eggs from another continent, surely they’re going to be cheap. If only there were at least two neighboring countries that could be able to send them for cheaper…

    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.

    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.
