Trump floats claims for Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal (Update: Trump wants Gaza too) (1 Viewer)

Oh, but he's only joking - well, maybe, so they say. Or sort of joking with Canada, and maybe not joking with Greenland - saying that "ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity" doesn't sound like a joke . . . and um, not sure about what the about Panama Canal thing is?

Trump Jokes Canada Becoming 51st US State 'A Great Idea'

US President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday it would be "a great idea" for Canada to become the 51st US state, teasing on social media that "many Canadians" welcome the idea, as Ottawa is wracked by a political crisis.

Trump threatens to try to take back the Panama Canal. Panama's president balks at the suggestion

Trump didn't explain how such a takeover would be possible, given that the U.S. relinquished control of the canal to Panama in 1999 under a treaty signed by President Jimmy Carter in 1977.

None of the republicans in congress have the courage to publicly state "the emperor has no clothes on"

It's like the story of Donald Trump in some ways is the story of the Emperor Has No Clothes except a lot of people want to be the Emperor, the little girl is shouted down and vilified, the crowd and Fox News says how the Emperor is the best dressed emperor the nation has ever had

That's power money can't buy, and that's the power millions of people wish they had

The Trump administration is actively trying to inferfere in the Elections on Greenland. An agressive and illegal act according to Danish laws against a democratic allie

Trump and his allies are keeping a very close eye on Greenland ahead of tomorrow’s parliamentary election.
(translated from danish)

And they want to meet with the politicians.

The U.S. consulate in Nuuk has sent invitations to all political parties in Greenland, offering a meeting.
This was reported by Politiken, which has also confirmed the information with the consulate itself.

According to the media outlet, the Americans state in the invitation that they would be happy to host the politicians at the consulate. They explain that the invitation is intended to provide decision-makers in Washington with a more detailed understanding of Greenland’s political landscape. However, according to Birger Poppel, an emeritus and social researcher at the University of Greenland, what is unfolding is an influence campaign of unprecedented scale.

He told Politiken that he sees the outreach as a show of power from the Americans. Several Greenlandic politicians have also expressed surprise and outrage over the invitation, with many refusing to attend a meeting with the Americans. One of them is Jens-Frederik Nielsen, leader of the Demokraatit party. He told the media that he views the invitation as an attempt at interference.

A similar response came from Aqqalu Jerimiassen, leader of the Atassut party, while Siumut party leader Erik Jensen has declined to comment on the invitation.

Many Canadians already avoid traveling due to Trump, and this will likely push the remaining few to find alternative winter destinations.

This should bode well for 2026 WORLD CUP hosted by US/Canada/Mexico.

This is the truth.

It absolutely directly impacts national security...and it's severe. We can't afford to squander our relationships with our closest neighbors. Trump is pissing it all away, and for what? History is not going to be kind to these first 60 days.

And something else to consider...Friday at midnight, the CR runs out. The idiots in Congress are gonna faafo and we end up in a shutdown starting this weekend.

Idk how close they are to a deal, but we're quickly running out of time.

They will probably blame the democrats for not voting for the MAGA budget! And the MAGA followers will eat it raw
