Trump's Second Term

Somebody put Trump up to all this Panama, Greenland and Canada nonsense. No way he came up with this himself.

Yep, it's definitely not Trump posting all that. It's not unhinged in the same way as Trump is. Doesn't Dan Scavino do his social media?

Again, I don't think that was Trumpy personally writing that. It seems a bit too cleverly "targeted" to be from Donny's Pantone 16-1449, cockroach-filled skull.

It is clearly provocative propaganda, but who is writing it and who for?

The leaders of Canada, Panama (and China incidentally) and Greenland know this is performative nonsense going through a loudmouth lunatic. Their previous responses were measured and subdued - not responding to the childish name-calling. This time they probably won't even bother responding at all. To do so just encourages the Trumpy bully team.

Since these missives go out on Trothe Sential, not the Musk Xcretion Channel, I would expect the target audience is MAGAland. Yay, their hero is "giving it to" [insert latest hate-target here]. But is this productive? They get riled up, but to what end? Invasions of Panama and Greenland, and engulfment of Canada, will mean nothing geographically to people who typically can't locate their own country on a map (or their own arse with both hands, for that matter).

Given Trumpy's MO (it's all about himself and the grift) I'm wondering if the Trump team is going to try the trick of his last reign: Go into re-election mode immediately he is inaugurated so that he can get all the tax breaks and divert loads of PAC money to himself personally over the next four years.
 
Greenland wants to buy back the USA
Yesterday, the chairman of the National Board of Greenland, Kim Kielsen, offered to buy back the USA.
"Leif the Lucky discovered America, and his father, Erik the Red, discovered Greenland and settled there. So it's only natural that the USA is returned to us," Kim Kielsen says.
He still hasn't decided what the price should be, but he thinks that it ought to be fairly low considering the huge national debt incurred by the USA.
"And if Trump is included in the deal, it is obvious that the price will be even lower," he says.

I hear Musk's own loyal fanboys were up in arms with him on his own platform, and that he went all free speech on them by going after their accounts since his little ego of course can't handle criticism.
 
Responding to the Dilbert guy, Elon Musk says that his MAGA critics which have now expandeda long way past Laura Loomer are "contemptible fools" who "must be removed from the Republican Party, root and stem."

Trump says
“If you graduate from a U.S. college—two-year, four-year, or doctoral—you should automatically get a green card to stay.
Too often, talented grads are forced to leave and start billion-dollar companies in India or China instead of here.
That success and those jobs should be in America."

A lot of Trump's voters will be feeling they were just used.

Is that some kind of trolley logic riddle or something? Or is it just a trumpy kind of morality? Coming in is a crime, and staying in is another, and I'm working on how to force you to leave, but all is forgiven if you can game the system and add to our dreadful shortage of billionaires.
