Think of how much we lost in two weeks because of one man.

Nations spent hundreds of thousands of dollars sending forces to Greenland. The US stock markets dipped because of the fear of World War 3. Infinite hours were wasted by politicians and officials all over the world, to plan new security strategies in a post NATO world.

All culminating with Trump basically saying "April fools! I was just kidding about Greenland."

I never expected to see such profound irresponsibility in my lifetime.

@randahl
"Toddler in Chief" is not hyperbole in any way. His actions are those of a toddler or a grade school kid.
"I'm going to take my ball and go home"
"He said mean stuff to me, he's a poopyhead"
"I pushed the smaller kid because I can"

@randahl What are you planning on doing about it?

Only U.S. Citizens can make a difference here; that means organizing and participating in non-violent protest marches & general strikes, until that evil administration of yours has no choice but to step down.

Alternatively, every Democrat, Independent and non-MAGA Republican join their state militia and learn how to follow orders, maneuver and shoot, so they can defend themselves against tyranny.

The choice is Civil Disobedience or Civil War.

@randahl This wasn't the first time Trump obsessed over Greenland and I'm sure it won't be the last. We'll be going through this entire ridiculous cycle all over again in a few weeks or months.

The problem is that it's still entirely possible he'll attempt to take Greenland with force sooner or later. So Europe must take measures to be prepared for this.

@randahl Heads he wins and tails we lose.

We're forced to shadow box like this because he absolutely would have tried to take Greenland if there hadn't been resistance .

He's always free to cut his losses because the USA, and all its creditors and taxpayers, have no choice but to foot the bill for his adventures.

It's impossible to win because we're not allowed to play offense when good people are in the minority.

@randahl I have to admit I’m getting tired of people rationalising Trumps actions, or analysing them. He’s most likely got frontotemporal dementia like his Father and is deteriorating rapidly. The guy is literally sick in the head. We need to call out the enablers. People and system. Also that nobody is saying the quiet bit out loud. The guy can’t walk or stand up straight.

Is it a case of he’s going to sue people for saying that? Or is it just ‘Emperors new clothes’ thing?

@randahl@mastodon.social That is why all the heads of state present in Davos issued international arrest warrants against the terrorist Trump and his accomplices. He was then detained by the Swiss Guard, tied to the outside of his plane, and taken to Venice, where he is being held in the Blechkammern awaiting trial before the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

@randahl Why would his rambling nonsense at Davos signal any change in the threat picture? He can't be trusted - he's even reversed course speficially on Greenland several times, in public.

If anyone makes defense decisions based on that speech, they're going to get us all fucking killed.

@randahl

All this, while the Trumpsters bought up stocks, to sell again when it settles. He can more or less control when that happens, himself...
Is this the third or fourth time he has done such a thing?
