Summary
Trump’s speech to Congress was a campaign-style tirade filled with falsehoods, personal grievances, and attacks on Democrats.
He exaggerated economic issues, blamed Biden for inflation, and misrepresented Social Security data. He renewed imperialist rhetoric about annexing Greenland and the Panama Canal while distorting U.S. aid figures to Ukraine.
Trump spent more time on culture war issues than policy, vowing to end “wokeness.” He also falsely claimed his legal troubles were political persecution.
Meanwhile, markets reeled from his new tariffs, which he dismissed. The speech showed deep partisan divides and his continued reliance on misinformation.
Regarding Greenland > No is an answer. No explanation needed from DK.
Trump is very good at not seeking consent and ignoring limits. Just ask E Jean Carroll.
I mean he could invade it. And he could take it no issue. Not like we Danes could stand up to the US Army. But if he does invade then the US would quickly become a pariah state.
China would jump for joy at the chance to cripple their biggest geopolitical rival. They would push for sanctions on the US. The EU would probably back them to show solidarity for a member state. Canada and Mexico are already irate with the US so they wouldn’t take a lot of convincing to join. Especially Canada as this would signal they could be next. The economic woes the US is experiencing right now would look like a joke compared to what would happen in that scenario.
Would also spell the end of NATO most likely. Unless the other members decide to stick around without the US. Russia would probably declare the day a National Holiday.
All that is his goal.
He could invade Greenland, and that would be the greatest gift to satire ever! Think of all the poor political commentators who are out of jobs because even fiction can’t be as absurd as reality. This is their chance!
I’m picturing a flood of memes showing vast imperial forces menacingly advancing on a few natives fishing. I’m picturing the battle on Hoth. I’m picturing Red Dawn where US firces are the evil ones In our shambles I’m even picturing a revival of The Tail that Wagged the Dog
No, and continue?
No, and voted out of office?
No, and arrested for treason endangering the US by trying to instigate multiple trade and military wars?
