Trump speech at DAVOS

He didn't get Greenland, stop talking pish.

He got greenland, i wonder what he will take next the UK.

I know. I cant believe that others around him, and particularly some of the bolder, more assertive Republicans , don't secretly think he's not all there. And he could be their undoing. I cant imagine that it would be in their long term interest to have him carry on if he becomes even more outrageous.

In recognition that Trump HAS No idea How to USE Capitals?

DONT CLICK THIS !!!! PHISHING ATTEMPT

Defending us in spirit! Refusing Jewish immigrants and thanking their lucky stars Hitler was on our continent instead of theirs.

What's this about? Where can I find the original comment?

It’s a bonkers speech but I’ll admit it, I’ve nearly listened to the whole thing 🤣

What I find frustrating is that nobody seems to have the kahunas to stand up to Trump or Putin. At the moment Europe and the UK are run by weak leaders. I have no faith in any of them.

Trump must have been so relieved when the Beckham stuff came out hahaha.

@Tezza1
The border between USA and Canada is not a straight line, at least in the east.

A person in Port Huron, Michigan, would have to look east across the St Clair river to see the city of Sarnia, Ontario.

Similarly, a person in the city of Niagara Falls in New York State would look west to see the city of Niagara Falls in Ontario.

You have to wonder, however, if Us-ans ever watch the weather news, and wonder "what is that big expanse of white space to the north of us".

Trump is a dictator cosplaying as a fat, tanned, smug billionaire - only with no rightfully earned money to his name.

This might get deleted, as it is quite strongly worded, but what the hell. I am comforted by the fact he is mortal, like all of us. And even though I’m not religious, I am convinced that there will be a special place in hell waiting for him when he dies.

The world should be forming a type of HUG ACROSS THE WORLD and we should all be telling him to fuck off.

Still, makes a change from talking about Brooklyn Beckham ..

This will be a new Dark Age if he isn't reined in soon. None of us will ever trust the USA again. Trump has exposed fatal flaws - in the people, in the institutions, in the very fabric of their so-called 'democracy' which we all know it isn't.
Why are they not doing something to wind him back?
I mean I know the USA is full of shit about most things but really, they are letting a madman tear apart stability and the only sort of world order that has held.

This was later picked up on by someone in his staff saying he called it Iceland because it’s well… full of ice.

I get really irritated by his habit of capitalising random nouns. It really winds me up. Needless to say, the other stuff he says also makes me angry. He’s just a monumental twat.

Entertaining… if only it were a Monty Python sketch, it would be hilarious.

You what drives me nuts about the USA. They insist on the right to have guns so they can uprise against a tyrannical government.

They clearly have that right now and it’s getting worse as the days go on.

Why are they not doing anything about it!!!!

Do they not understand that the reason they are getting poorer is because of him

Yes, I really really hope there is a whats app group for the pms, which hopefully gets a journalist added ' by mistake'

Watching him belittle zalensky about his attire was difficult. His knocking down the historic east wing of the White House on the American people's dime. This is off the scale.

Really makes me wonder what is going on behind the scenes where trump doesn't want the attention. Epstein, what looks like the crushing of a civil war in the US, ICE doing many terrible things, rare earth pursuance, getting Tony Blair onto a peace / war committee.

Who was the Danish politician who told him to fuck off? He sounds sensible. I'd like to hear Mr Starmer tell him to fuck off.

I suppose part of it is that in the Westminster system, the PM is the party leader, and there are a variety of mechanisms and pressures that can be used to sort that out, including private and indirect ones. The party leader really does serve only as long as they have the confidence of both their own party and the house as a whole.

The presidency in the US is a whole other kettle of fish, directly elected, very much a top down branch of the government. All the others in that branch serve the president and he isn't really beholden to anyone during his term without it involving significant institutional effort like impeachment.

And the Democrats have kind of blown their wad on trying to get Trump out through differernt legal mechanisms, it hasn't strengthened their position. It ends up looking like they are just trying to make up for the fact that they are incapable of choosing a candidate that the population wants to vote for.

Still, quite glad he's done a TACO on tariffs.
