The Trump Presidency: Sweet/Sweat 16

I think it's great that he accuses democrats of being anti-semitic while using anti-semitic tropes.

I see two possible explanations for the current narrative:

1. Trump wanted to get out of going to Denmark, so he floated this crazy idea that Denmark was sure to reject and then used their rejection as his excuse for not going.

2. Trump was serious about buying Greenland and has cancelled as part of his tantrum resulting from the rejection.

3. Trump joked about buying Greenland, he got attention for it and at some point reality blurred and he started talking about it as "a real estate deal". It was going to be embarrassing in Denmark when he was laughed at.
 
Meanwhile...

The Secretary of Energy, the department tasked with overseeing our nuclear stockpile, is posting pseudo-legal screeds on instagram. Only the best people in the Trump cabinet.

I'd say it's much more likely he feels angry about being laughed at and having had the Danish PM reject his daft idea outright and his cancelling/postponing the meeting was done out of spite, because that's the way he reacts to pretty much everything.

Theory on R4 this AM was that Obama was speaking in that neck of the words a few days before Trump was due and he was nervous about being compared unfavourably so he ran away from the 'fight' with a feeble excuse about Greenland.

In the same way that if my attendance to a seminar at work is mandatory I'm paid to attend, but not in the same way that if I'm minding my own business and someone approaches me to attend a seminar for money.

Only this wouldn't be a mandatory seminar. It would be a "voluntary" (wink, wink) one on company time that you got paid for. You just wouldn't get paid if you decided you wanted to do your regular work instead of voluntarily going to the "voluntary" (wink, wink) seminar.

No.

It was a state visit. He was invited by the Queen of Denmark. The sale of Greenland would never have been on the agenda.

This is Trump. Anything involving a tantrum is where the smart money would be laid down.

Just as likely part of the reason. I looked it up to confirm dates, but didn't find any. I did find:
Meanwhile, a month before Trump's visit, thousands of people had "already signed up for a demonstration against him," the Copenhagen Post reported last week. "So it looks like the Danes prefer Obama over Trump after all. ..."[url="https://theweek.com/speedreads/860160/coincidentally-obama-visiting-denmark-late-september']Link[/url]

That's the same stupidity that started going around on Facebook about seven or eight years ago and keeps popping back up every year or two.

It might even be verbatim, with "Instagram" substituted for "Facebook".

Pure drivel. No surprise "governor" (:rolleyes:) Perry is joining in on passing it around some more.

My post was PERSONAL AND CONFIDESUAL and I do NOT give you permission to copy it. I HEREBY DEMAND that you seese and desist your flagrant INFRINGEMENT at once!

In all seriousness, it's pretty concerning when a government official starts quoting sov-cit lite stuff like this. It's only a few more degrees of crazy to pro-se meritless litigation and other shenanigans.

2012. A word for word copy. It was originally Channel 9 though.

“Thank you to Wayne Allyn Root for the very nice words.
“President Trump is the greatest President for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world, not just America, he is the best President for Israel in the history of the world...and the Jewish people in Israel love him....

....like he’s the King of Israel. They love him like he is the second coming of God...But American Jews don’t know him or like him. They don’t even know what they’re doing or saying anymore. It makes no sense! But that’s OK, if he keeps doing what he’s doing, he’s good for.....

.....all Jews, Blacks, Gays, everyone. And importantly, he’s good for everyone in America who wants a job.”

Wow! @newsmax @foxandfriends @OANN

Rep Tlaib wants to cut off aid to Israel. This is the new face the of Democrat Party? Read the AOC PLUS 3 statements on their hatred of Jews and Israel. Check out Rep. Omar (the great people of Minnesota won’t stand for this).

The Fake News LameStream Media is doing everything possible the “create” a U.S. recession, even though the numbers & facts are working totally in the opposite direction. They would be willing to hurt many people, but that doesn’t matter to them. Our Economy is sooo strong, sorry!

Apparently it's more important to cater towards Israelis than Americans. Now that's patriotic.
