Trump also told the Times that he isn’t opposed to using nuclear force if he “needed it” to take over the Arctic island but that “it might upset NATO," since the island is a self-governing territory of NATO member country Denmark.

    Remember, Stephen Miller directly and Peter Thiel less directly are likely driving this. Mango is just their senile puppet/mouthpiece/fall guy. Not that it makes it any less serious.

      It is worrying how unhinged Thiel is becoming, it does look like he is fishing with various ideas to start a cult for his own glory. Dude needs to just chill out for a bit.

    Surely the intelligence agencies at work in sane countries are considering assassination operations, right? Isn’t this like the most worthy reason to attempt such a thing, threat of global annihilation?

      Does MI6 have a plan to assassinate Trump? It would surprise me if they don’t. Plan for all contingensies. But from plan to actual operation is a continental leap.

    If it doesn’t scare the shit out of you that this narcissistic psychopath just casually mentions that he would like to drop nukes, then it should

    We’ve been on the brink of nuclear annihilation multiple times but always escaped fate because there were calm cool smart heads that intervened. Those heads are gone, it’s now all removed narcissists.

    This asshole is just casually blabbing about burning down the entire world, and there ain’t shit we can do to stop or even change this.

      The two times we evaded nuclear hellfire were in the 60s and 80s. And in both those cases it was the Soviets who kept their cool and realized that it was a technical error that gave a false positive.

      I don’t think anyone in either government is cool enough to do that today.

    Ummm… what? Did the media just sane wash this headline? Trump is ok with nuking his way into owning Greenland and we’re just all ok with that?

      The U.S. president told the paper in an article published on Jan. 8 that just “one thing” stands in the way of him and world dominance. “My own morality. My own mind,” he said. "It’s the only thing that can stop me.”

      Well, that’s very reassuring

    Seeing him hang from the neck is psychologically important to me, but I guess we can’t always get what we want.

      He’s like 70% ego (10% hairspray, 10% bronzer and 10% hamberder)

      So psychologically, is it important to maintain his ego.

      It’s a health decision

    My psychiatrist gave me a prescription for an emotional support Greenland, legally you aren’t even allowed to ask me about it other than if it’s an emotional support Greenland, which it is.

      Even without the projection distortion, Greenland is pretty big. It’s more than 3 times larger than France. But it’s definitely not as large as the US as it seems in the projection.

      Seriously, can’t enact his power fantasies on children anymore so somehow he convinced a significant amount of Americans to let him abuse the world as a president instead.

    The tiny handed orange toddler “I WANT IT. I WANTS IT!!! WAHHHH. GIVE ME. WAHHH”

    Then goes off to think about all those little children he raped with his bestie Jeffery Epstein.
