His latest threat is to apply tariffs on any country that doesn't support is "annexation" of Greenland! WTF, Why not just declare war on the world?
They are pretty much is headed in that direction. Here's a tidbit that describes the traits of fascism. Pretty much says it all.
・Powerful, often exclusionary, populist nationalism centered on cult of a redemptive, “infallible” leader who never admits mistakes.
・Political power derived from questioning reality, endorsing myth and rage, and promoting lies.
・Fixation with perceived national decline, humiliation, or victimhood.
・White Replacement “Theory” used to show that democratic ideals of freedom and equality are a threat. Oppose any initiatives or institutions that are racially, ethnically, or religiously harmonious.
・Disdain for human rights while seeking purity and cleansing for those they define as part of the nation.
・Identification of “enemies”/scapegoats as a unifying cause. Imprison and/or murder opposition and minority group leaders.
・Supremacy of the military and embrace of paramilitarism in an uneasy, but effective collaboration with traditional elites. Fascists arm people and justify and glorify violence as “redemptive”.
・Rampant sexism.
・Control of mass media and undermining “truth”.
・Obsession with national security, crime and punishment, and fostering a sense of the nation under attack.
・Religion and government are intertwined.
・Corporate power is protected and labor power is suppressed.
・Disdain for intellectuals and the arts not aligned with the fascist narrative.
・Rampant cronyism and corruption. Loyalty to the leader is paramount and often more important than competence.
・Fraudulent elections and creation of a one-party state.
・Often seeking to expand territory through armed conflict.
He is a F^cking idiot and belongs in prison! Absolutely mentally unstable. I really don't understand how anyone could vote him into office?
Give him time....
Not a line there that doesn't describe what's happening in MAGA Land . Someone please take this pathetic yet extremely dangerous piece of crap deep sea fishing and use him for bait . Only problem is that even the bottom feeders wouldn't be attracted.They are pretty much is headed in that direction. Here's a tidbit that describes the traits of fascism. Pretty much says it all.

Just as scary is the fact that over half of the eligible voting public supported him in the election. Canadians might want to think about that for a minute the next time they consider crossing the border.
To go along with the Nobel Piece Prize......................intentionally misspelled

Easy. The percentage of illiterate red necks in the US are a big Republican factor and Trump also fooled the legal Muslim and other legal immigrants into thinking he was going to do great things for them to get their vote. Once in power, he quickly ostracized them and that will show up in the midterms. The illiterate % is highest in the red states... Go figure. There is still a huge percentage of US citizens that think Trump is doing great, We can only hope that at least some of them see the light sooner rather than later.
Literacy Data and its impact on the Nation
- Illiteracy has become such a serious problem in the US that 130 million adults are now unable to read a simple story to their children
- 21% of adults in the US are illiterate in 2022
- 54% of adults have a literacy below 6th grade level
- 45 million are functionally illiterate and read below a 5th grade level
- 44% of the American adults do not read a book in a year
- The Top 3 states for highest child literacy rates were Massachusetts, Maryland, and New Hampshire, in that order (highest to lowest).
- The Bottom 3 states for child literacy rates were Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Mexico, (highest to lowest)
- 3 out of 4 people on welfare can’t read
- 20% of Americans read below the level needed to earn a living wage
- 50% of the unemployed between the ages of 16 and 21 cannot read well enough to be considered functionally literate
- Between 46% and 51% of American adults have an income well below the poverty level because of their inability to read
- Illiteracy costs American taxpayers an estimated $20 billion each year
Yes let's hope for the sensible outcome in the midterms. Some Senators and a couple of Members of Congress have been brave enough to criticize the " Tariff of Nottingham " over the last couple of days. I hope they accomplish something before they are relocated to El Salvador.

I agree with all of the recent comments and for my 2 cents, oh yeah no pennies. I'll go big , for my 10 cents worth, I've always said the T and his puppeteers are working directly from the dictators handbook. With about 73,000,000 illiterates its a surprise he only won by about 2,500,00 votes. The other thing is their stupid electoral college, thats how he got in. There is some strong protesting and a glimmer of light at the Supreme court. Best hope is they can hold him back and the mid terms become a Dem sweep.
The latest from the orange Pinhead: President Donald Trump said Saturday that he would charge a 10% import tax starting in February on goods from eight European nations because of their opposition to American control of Greenland, setting up a potentially dangerous test of U.S. partnerships in Europe. He's just non stop!!

So this turd revealed one of the reasons for taking Greenland was because he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize from Norway? However this may be just an excuse because he wanted to do that in the first term. Just like the BS fentanyl for putting tariff against us.
This turd is a piece of work?
