    Thule Air Base. Is military base in Greenland. The Thule United States Air Base was opened on 1941 when Greenland gave the complete control of their security in the US making it the only military station of the United States in the northern part of the world.

    We will take Canada, and leave Germany for the Russians.

    I don't even think the UK will be able to halt Russia, in 20 years or so.

    Leave europe to eat itself, leave China to eat asia.

    That confirms exactly what I was saying already. How many troops does Denmark keep there? They expect someone else to defend their land. How pathetic...

    This is nuts. Trump floats a crazy idea -- "Let's buy Greenland!" -- and when the Danes point out that that's just not going to happen, Trump cancels an upcoming trip to Denmark.

    This is the same Denmark that has lost 50 soldiers helping us in Afghanistan.

    Trump managed to look stupid, ignorant, autocratic, thin-skinned and childish all at the same time.

    Seriously, how can anyone support this, or him? How much damage to America's reputation -- and by extension, our security -- are you willing to tolerate?

    Kim Jong-un is laughing in his face while he uses Trump for his propaganda puppet. Vladimir Putin is thumbing his nose at our country because he successfully hijacked our democratic election and Trump takes his side over that over our own intelligence agencies! It's absurd and unimaginable that anyone could still stand with this crazy man despite all we already know about his. And today, he referred to himself as "the chosen one" and is trying to say that all Jews that support the democrats are "disloyal' to this country. This is not only disgusting behavior for any man much less the leader of the United States.

    Donald Trump is the laughingstock of the entire world. But actually, people are mocking him. He is just a completely awkward, explosive and would be a laughable man if he wasn't so damned dangerous. Some people are mocking the US for electing such a president. I don't think people laugh because they think our election was pathetic, or because they see the US as a comical country. We elected a guy that looks up to Rodrigo ****ing Duterte, the same dude who claimed to be the next Hitler.

    Trump HIMSELF said "the world is laughing at us" !!

    “Sometimes it is hard to believe that what Trump is saying and doing on the world stage is actually happening,” said Nicholas Burns, the former U.S. ambassador to NATO. “This is one of those days.” Denmark, after all, is a key partner in the North Atlantic alliance, and was among the first countries to pledge military support in Iraq and Afghanistan. More than 40 Danish troops died in Helmand province, fighting alongside American and British soldiers.

    “I realize this is yet another bizarre and humorous Trump moment for the late night talk shows here in the U.S.,” Burns told me. “But, for the rest of the world, particularly our allies, it is simply shocking how far America has fallen from grace in their eyes.”

    The Californios didn't want to be ruled by Mexico.

    They wanted to become a British colony but the Brits looked at the Mexican people and came to an accurate conclusion that Mexico and the Mexican people were a complete basketcase.

    So the Californios went with becoming a territory of the United States.

    Calling a Californio a Mexican were fighting words.

    Californios referred to Mexicans as cholos.

    That is absolutely NOT true. Yes, Congress imposed additional sanctions on Russia after the sanctions imposed on Russia by President Obama. But if you remember, Congress RELEASED those sanctions at the request of TRUMP in 2018. Specifically, on businesses connected to Oleg Deripaska the Russian oligarch who Paul Manafort worked for and the same oligarch that got sanctions removed so his holding company Rusal could build a plant in Kentucky. Mitch McConnell had EVERYTHING to do with removing those sanctions, and it's because McConnell is owned by Russia too!

    I’d rather he’d buy Hong Kong. I’d even let the citizens of Hong Kong vote for it. Bet it would win.

    While Trump earned criticism with this, why would you falsely make this a gender issue? Trump is a dlck to all, regardless of gender. Unfortunately, he is an accurate representation of the average American, regardless of their political party.

    Trump should be in an asylum..

    US president Donald Trump has threatened to release “thousands” of Isis fighters held in Syria “to Europe” if their countries do not take back their citizens who went to join the terror group.

    Around 800 Isis fighters of European origin are currently being detained in northern Syria by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, along with thousands of women and children.

    Denmark is a United Nations country and has been since 1945. So yes, as a member of the United Nations, Denmark has every right to expect the US and any other UN member to defend them. As a matter of fact, Denmark was one of the very first countries in the UN and Denmark was the only Scandinavian country to approve of the American Invasion of Iraq, and Denmark and the United States have always consulted closely on European political and security matters.

    Trump doesn't know anything about any of that. He is ignorant and doesn't listen to advisors..

    All major media outlets are focusing on the 'nasty' stuff, and I really only mentioned that in passing.... It's funny how he cannot seem to form a legit 2-way working relationship with a single female world leader though, isn't it?

    The more I think about it, I think David Frum could be onto something.... see my post #3.... This whole Greenland thing just seemed so far out of left field unless what Frum is suggesting has some basis... It's a good working theory either way...

    And I do NOT subscribe to your theory that Donald J Trump is an "accurate representation of the average American".... At least not the America I know and love....He's a aberration in my circles...

    "Advocating the annex of Canada for decades" You have got to be joking? You're speaking Hitler-speak, do you realize that? Hey yeah, let's just 'annex' Poland and Hungary and why not France too while we're at it? Honest to God, I have never in my life witnessed such utter ignorance of geopolitics in my life.

    Ridiculous, it will never happen. Besides, Denmark and Finland both have all those white-skinned blonde people that Trump welcomes with open arms to the US, not those brown-skinned racist vermin that are infesting Texas. (sarcasm)

    Yeah, that guy is absolutely on a roll today...

    I don't know where to post this, so I picked your post.... THIS is the funniest thing I've seen all week, bar none... Was scrolling through David Frum's Twitter feed talking about Greenland and Trump, and he posted this line from somebody...

    This has a 95% chance of becoming my PF.com signature by the end of the day

    Enjoy!!!

    You think that's funny? I have one even better. Today, during his address to the 75th annual national convention of American Veterans, Trump stated that he sought to give himself a Medal of Honor, but decided not to after being counseled against the move by aides.
