Edit
On Minnesota, Trump criticises the “mass import” of foreign cultures, citing Somalia. He then hits out at “fake congressperson” Ilhan Omar, criticising her for “telling us how to run America”
You’d be speaking German and Japanese without us
I mean I do understand that this is a reference to the Nazis, but seems sort of weird given that German is a European language and many of them do speak German even with the Americans.
I think that Trump is using a taunt he surely learned when he was young. He spoke without any regard that ~60 years or so have passed and he’s on an entirely different continent.
Surely projection, since his father grew up speaking German. The “Drumpf” liberal meme is silly but it is worth noting that Trump is very much a second generation immigrant. I am sure some of his cartoonish American chauvinism is due to being raised in a household headed by an embarrassed German immigrant.
raised in a household headed by an embarrassed German immigrant.
How could I overlook that basic thing? For Trump shame and embarrassment - on his terms of course - are fundamental for his POV and in how he acts.
And virtually all Europeans are learning English because of cultural imperialism and US hegemony lmao
And he said it in Switzerland, which has German as one of its four official national languages
US President Donald Trump declares all countries must speak English or face 3000% tariffs
ilhan omar must really tick him off for him to be bringing her up at the fuckin world economic forum
hmm I wonder what problem he has with a black muslim congresswoman
Chuds hate her, it’s a whole culture war thing. They think she slept with and married her brother, just because she’s Muslim and black.
lol literally the only people anyone associates with incest are
.
Wait, he’s folding on invasion plans now?
Trump: not sure Nato would be there for us
Is he asking if they’re fake friends? Is he trying to say he’s just testing the relationship?
What Trump says today may have no bearing on what he says tomorrow. Hell, just a couple hours later he might contradict himself. Greenland is like a small store and Trump is a delusional, impatient, senile Mafioso godfather. Trump could easily and simply squeeze Greenland for more protection money. But he keeps changing the rules.
I’ll buy Greenland. You know what? I’ll take Greenland by force and run it myself. You know what? I’ll leave Greenland alone. You know what? I’ll do whatever I want so I’ll do whatever I want!
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I don’t think there were any serious invasion plans, the whole point is to purchase Greenland.
Look at the military budgets of the rest of NATO vs the United States. The US spends considerably more, more than double, than the rest of NATO combined, despite having half the population. Even in % of GDP, only the USA, Greece and Poland were above 3% before Trump started his second term. In terms of technology, NATO is 100% reliant on the USA for stealth aircraft, strategic bombers, and numerous other things. This is not a sustainable state, an alliance cannot be this one sided long term. Look at what European NATO members were doing during the cold war vs now. The UK had its own strategic bombers, a large air force, forward deployed tank battalions to West Germany. Now, most of that is gone.
an alliance cannot be this one sided long term
Is NATO even really an “alliance” in the true sense though? Or just a formalisation of american imperial hierarchy
Is NATO even really an “alliance"
Debatable, they’ve never used their military power for collective defence of a member(libs will debate this as article 5 was invoked to ‘protect’ America by the NATO invasion of Afghanistan, but imo that doesn’t count as a defence since it wasn’t fighting on American soil and was essentially a ‘pre-emptive strike’ to prevent further Al-Qaeda attacks(accepting the official 9/11 story, and ignoring the Taliban’s over to hand bin-laden over to a neutral country for evidence-based prosecution, and taking the US’s casus belli as legitimate) despite the Al-Qaeda cell allegedly responsible operating out of Germany and having no Afghan members ), only for aggressive military acts that support the US’s geopolitical ambitions
‘An alliance led by the US to enforce its empire’ maybe accurate, but I guess ‘organisation’ or something similar better describes the unequal nature of member states as ‘alliance’ suggests members are equalish peers
Art of the Deal 101: Use leverage or perceived leverage to threaten the other party in order to get a better deal. Irrelevant that the net result is the destabilization of modern society, if he saves a buck and gets to swing his orange, shriveled dick around. He’s been doing it since day one.
Hard to say which of his threats are real until he backtracks, though. I would not have guessed actually kidnapping Maduro, for example. But, you’ve got tactibro Hegseth frothing to be seen as tough and likely stoking the fires which changes the equation a bit.

A bullet…
“I have to take greenland because the people that own me want it, and if I don’t do as they say, they’ll release all the vids and pics of me
children.”“And they say I won’t be paid royalties on the distribution of the videos!”
lmao he already got bored of it
Also made a direct threat to the UK and Europe in reporter questions afterwards
The video doesn’t load for me. If I want to share short a short vid longer than ~5 seconds at Hexbear - I upload it to Catbox.
Ninja edit. It finally loaded.
Greenland is a done deal, like who is going to stop them? Von der Leyen, Rutte, and Gahr Støre?
lmao
