Just what the fuck ? If Europe give in to his demands because he’s now threatening tariffs then where does it end ? He’ll be claiming they need Mexico and Canada next FOR SECURITY and if anyone disagrees - Tariff’s !
I would really like to hear off trump supporters, do you think this is okay?

Let’s see how many cards they hold when they invade an ally, they are told to leave the military bases they occupy in NATO countries, and their bonds are dumped and they end up in a massive recession. The US military swear an oath to the constitution and not the president. He’ll be invading nowhere if the military don’t implement the orders. Jeez I wish the cunt would just die

Er no-one is going to ask the US to vacate their bases. 😂😂😂
Terrifying how naive some posters are regarding the actuality /and the venom against the US which Europe has allowed itself to be completely dependent on.

I don't know if I'm more scared of WWIII or of the leaders giving in to that orange star spangled cunt.

Has anyone seen this letter to he sent to the Norwegian government?

Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT

This is beyond embarrassing. What a disgusting, petulant child. 'You didn't give me the Peace Prize so I'm gonna invade an ally!'

He pulled a not too dissimilar stunt at the end of last year, when he refused to attend the G20 Summit in South Africa.

That was not necessarily the biggest issue, as he can boycott what he likes I suppose (it was linked to alleged racism towards white South Africans), but the major problem arose when it came time to hand over the Presidency for 2026, to USA , as they will be the host this year.

The handover is only ever accepted by a high ranking official of the Presidency, usually the President / PM of said country. Due to Trumps refusal to attend, there was no-one to handover to. Trump then sent a junior official to accept the handover, and Cyril Ramaphosa (host of 2025) refused to go against protocol and so therefore, did not complete the handover.

So it was left at the office of the Presidency for collection by the USA at a later date.

This was not taken lightly by Trump, so now in retaliation has blocked South Africa from attending the G20 in USA this year. Cyril Ramaphosa did not receive an invitation. The ridiculous thing is, SA is one of the founding members of the G20.

So we will see what transpires later this year.

The toddler's in the toybox and having a tantrum. He's a fing monster

Where is the US government in all of this Congress/Senate they are still a democracy and government led country whose leader is showing signs of dementia - sundowning is a common symptom and my god does he do it online - he is nearly 80 and he is clearly showing it

where is everyone else to step up and stop this madness - where are they?

and clearly the US system has created a flaw if a President can’t be removed when they are threatening what he is

Serpentstooth · 21/01/2026 08:05

He's out of the country. Best time for a successful coup 🤞

MushMonster · 21/01/2026 08:29

(Sarcasm)
Maybe we are looking at this a bit wrong. Maybe we should follow Trump's way of politics. We want something, we take it or make it happen. For example, his approach to Venezuela... we can copy i! Let's have Europe arrange an "Armada" of planes, and ships for support, send them to the Kremlin, take Putin out by force, send him to a jail in Europe, maybe The Hague, and put him to judgement for crimes against Humanity. We can offer Russia to join a European army treaty to replace the damaged NATO (Trump can keep that one, if he wants to...) if they can get their act together and elect a reasonable government with the opposition Putin has not killed, plus return the children and other Ukranian citizens they are helding and keep within their borders. Then, we can send a note to Russia, China and India and the rest of Asia, whether they are interested to join a Eurasia Trade Union. The old silk and spice way comes to mind, via landmass if we still have issues with the shipping via ME.
We can also have a chat with Africa and China (China has large investments in plenty of African countries at present, if you did not know) and South America and Canada, for further trade deals.
That will leave Trump with the US and, maybe, the US influence in the ME. Then we can impose tariffs on the US if he dares say anything or deny us any Peace Price known to mankind.
We may want to send people to buy property around Maralago, and build a multitude of landscrappers to block the view. Maybe he will sell Maralago then LOL ( if it does not make sense, have a quick check to how Trump got Maralago- another of his bullying tactics)

Yes, me too, if only. I’ve often wished he’d died of COVID back in 2020. It would have saved us from the Jan 6th insurrection happening, and Trump coming back into office.

Sadly, I remember wishing that Mugabe would die. But he went on and on for years until he was finally forced out by a military coup.

If he dies though don’t we end up with JD Vance?

which could be worse, as everyone is starting to see trump’s insanity. If we have Vance presenting the same ideas but with less rambling and tantrums, will people be convinced by him?

AgentPidge · 21/01/2026 11:55

He posted a couple of AI pics on Truth Social yesterday (shown on the BBC News). One of them was a map of the US, Canada and Greenland, all with the US flag. It was chilling, the implication being that after he's got his mitts on Greenland he'll go after Canada!

I know he's already mentioned that, but no one seems to be taking this seriously (yet). He's a lunatic. He really needs to be voted out and someone reasonable voted it (not Vance). He's only been in office a year and he's caused mayhem. Putin, the Chinese and North Korea must be rubbing their hands with glee. Poor old Ukraine, neglected. Thought he was going to solve the war there on Day 1?

I repeat - he's a lunatic.
