I think he has finally lost any marbles he had in his tiny little brain!

This is like the mad Roman emperors. Where's the praetorian guard when you need them?

How far is Davos from Dignitas? Asking for a friend....

Mwah ha ha, I was thinking that...

Just catching up. Did he really say to the audience that if it wasn’t for the US you would be speaking German, whilst standing in Switzerland where the majority language is German?

It is exactly like that but I rather fear that he's appointed people as dreadful as he is to the praetorian guard.

@Mangelwurzelfortea- when you throw out comments like that it all it does is shut down discussion. I'm not a Trump arse licker I didn't vote for him. I do however agree that the US spends an awful lot of money on causes that don't benefit us at all and we have been shouldering more than our fair share when it comes to security and it's time for the rest of NATO to step up.

Nato stepped up when the US invoked article 5 after 9/11

Yes I think so too. It's too easy to blame it on dementia.

He’s thick as pig shit and a narcissistic megalomaniac sociopath of a bully, who I do believe is starting to dement on top of his other psychiatric conditions. He behaves like a disregulated toddler who thinks the whole world revolves around himself with mummy telling him he’s the best and the most special boy. He’s never been told no and has not evolved from toddler

Well, I find him very original and entertaining!!
He did call Greenland - Iceland though - but it's an easy slip and he had had a long flight!

He's a fucking moron.

@LadyMacbethssweetArabianhand- My reality is Europe and Canada are woefully unprepared to defend themselves. They need to invest in their military. Look he's got you all talking and maybe that taking will lead you to demand answers from your government as to why they haven't spent the money to upkeep their fleet and equipment thier forces.

And who did you call after 9/11 to help you with Afghanistan? Yep, that’s right…NATO! You didn’t try to manage that alone, so I would say the US is also woefully unprepared to be able to act alone militarily or otherwise

Well get your popcorn out because it looks like he’s going to have to be told no multiple times for the response to his Greenland plan to sink in. I wonder what the stress of being told no for the first time is doing to him?

I agree with every thing you say. He is not a good man and never has nor will be.

I believe it was the rest of NATO that triggered art 5 on the USA's behalf so we could go to war with them....

Something Trump seems to have forgotten

MindYourUsage · 21/01/2026 18:25

He said "what has NATO ever done for us??"

Perhaps he should ask the Mothers who sent their sons to Afghanistan for the US as part of the NATO agreement. In particular he should ask the mothers whose sons did not return alive.

I have no words.

@DuncinToffee@Alexandra2001- Yes they did. We have both been great allies to each other and I hope that will continue. The world is a very different place to what is was in 2001 and so each country must prepare and plan. Like I said earlier I didn't vote for him and a think a lot of what he says is crazy but deep in there somewhere he does have some valid points. It great that our nations can come together in times of need and at the same time each country should put the safety and needs of their own country and people first.
I realize threads about Trump aren't meant for discussion they are just about who can come up with the wittyest quote or the most derogatory put down.

Could Trump be autistic? He has zero intonation and speaks in this monotonous manner.

His son is! Its very genetic!

What’s quite insane is I asked a room with 30 young teens yesterday if they knew our prime minister’s name. Only one did! They all knew the president of the USA!

Based on today’s speech I’d say it’s much better if they don’t know your name 😂

He's definitely got ADHD. He self medicates for it.

Happy to do that. He deserves it. I haven't even started yet...

MayaPinion · 21/01/2026 18:29

Does anyone remember Father Ted’s speech when he won the Golden Cleric award? It’s like that, but more batshit!

”Moving on now to Liars.”

johntorodesfatcheeks · 21/01/2026 14:25

Come on guys see sense. If it wasn’t for the US we’d all be speaking German and a little bit of Japanese now

I think Russia had quite a lot to do with that not happening, actually.

Very deep, and tiny, and buried under layers upon layers of unhinged bollocks.

Threads about Trump are about facts, so when he says that Nato has never given the US anything and he is calling in debt, we call out the lies
