Why Trump Wants Greenland
From a reader: Trump is causing a completely unforced recession, the markets (are) tanking, and your 401k’s plummeting, and he’s focused on invading Greenland.
Funny you mentioned that. I had a recent conversation with a Trump supporter in which she asked, What do you think is so wrong about our president’s demand to own Greenland, if it’s strategic to our national defense?
I responded:
Do you think that Denmark wouldn’t offer the U.S. whatever part of Greenland that could possibly protect world security, given that we have air bases in dozens of countries all around the globe, some of which have far less affinity for us than Denmark?
Maybe it’s for the same reason that he wants to turn the bombed-out Gaza into a U.S.-owned beach resort, or that he’s being so aggressive with our European allies, Panama, Mexico, and Canada. Perhaps it’s the same reason he keeps asking about the prospects of having his bust carved into Mount Rushmore.
It’s time for us to understand that he’s never done a single thing for any person or group of people for any reason other than his own self-aggrandizement, and that he couldn’t care less about anyone who doesn’t make him richer or more powerful. The well-being of common American means nothing to him at all.
Let’s not forget that Trump pardoned hundreds of violent criminals who were serving long sentences that judges had imposed for storming the Capitol and causing the deaths of several policemen and the injury of 138 more. Why the pardons? These people were were among the most despicable Americans of all time, but they were among his support base.
We need to wake up.
You made the case – but didn’t print the verdict.
As in the case in your Cheney entry: it is every Republican MAGA voter, who conscientiously made the decision to vote for the “publicly self-declared Dictator on Day 1” – that is directly responsible for what is happening to the US: – because Trump said, up front; – what he was going to do.
This, aided by the 80 some million Democratic voters that “sat it out”.
This Blitzkrieg, planned by the hierarchy of the far-right Heritage Foundation and Evangelical Churches beforehand – firehosed it to the former Republican Party / now Trump Nazi Party (in the true sense of the word Nazi) via Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News and their “News Anchors” – which is an oxymoron in itself.
The simple truth is that most of the new Republican Nazis’ are screaming like “stuck pigs in a pig slop” – because they were stupid and / or corrupt enough to think that they would not be included in the carnage they voted for.
The saying “…Power Corrupts…” – is not correct.
What is correct is that “…Power Reveals…” – as Trump and his Nazis were already totally corrupt- in every sense of the word.
