Trump also told the Times that he isn’t opposed to using nuclear force if he “needed it” to take over the Arctic island but that “it might upset NATO," since the island is a self-governing territory of NATO member country Denmark.

If it doesn't scare the shit out of you that this narcissistic psychopath just casually mentions that he would like to drop nukes, then it should

We've been on the brink of nuclear annihilation multiple times but always escaped fate because there were calm cool smart heads that intervened. Those heads are gone, it's now all removed narcissists.

This asshole is just casually blabbing about burning down the entire world, and there ain't shit we can do to stop or even change this.

Mostly, those calm cool smart heads were decidedly not the politicians.

Those Epstein files must be insane.

It's his emotional support island.

All about ego. He has nothing else except to be the biggest bully he can be.

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

He's like 70% ego (10% hairspray, 10% bronzer and 10% hamberder)

So psychologically, is it important to maintain his ego.

It's a health decision

My psychiatrist gave me a prescription for an emotional support Greenland, legally you aren’t even allowed to ask me about it other than if it’s an emotional support Greenland, which it is.

Ummm... what? Did the media just sane wash this headline? Trump is ok with nuking his way into owning Greenland and we're just all ok with that?

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 hour ago

The U.S. president told the paper in an article published on Jan. 8 that just "one thing" stands in the way of him and world dominance. "My own morality. My own mind," he said. "It’s the only thing that can stop me.”

Well, that's very reassuring

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 21 points 20 hours ago

That's still pretty batshit for a statement that's been sane-washed.

He is a certified psychotherapist.

*He is the rapist.

Correct.

I think the thing people didn't put together in 2016 his "grab them by the pussy" comment was about children in his beauty pageants.

[–] cheers_queers@lemmy.zip 12 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

understandable. i hear someone use the word pussy and my mind doesnt go right to little girls

Seeing him hang from the neck is psychologically important to me, but I guess we can't always get what we want.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Honestly, as long as we leave him up, I'm willing to settle for any body part.

Emotional support colonialism

Is there another kind?

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 18 points 20 hours ago

Honestly a little impressed he's able to use the word 'psychologically'. That's a lot of syllables.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 45 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Somebody ought to sit him down and explain the Mercator projection to him.

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Even without the projection distortion, Greenland is pretty big. It's more than 3 times larger than France. But it's definitely not as large as the US as it seems in the projection.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 23 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

That's way too advanced for a guy who can barely read or write.

Do we have any evidence that he's stopped?

What's important for him psychologically, and the whole damn world, is that he takes his meds.

The tiny handed orange toddler "I WANT IT. I WANTS IT!!! WAHHHH. GIVE ME. WAHHH"

Then goes off to think about all those little children he raped with his bestie Jeffery Epstein.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 16 points 22 hours ago

I understand he is trying to destroy America, but this would make it nearly instant.

Would not be the first time that the USA dropped nuclear bombs on Greenland

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Thule_Air_Base_B-52_crash

Although last time they covered it up and caused many workers to die later on due to nuclear exposure

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Uhhh....the coverup worked. I'm 42, and this is the first I've ever heard that we nuked Greenland. I feel like that SHOULD be common knowledge, but I'm willing to bet if I ask 100 random people, 0 will think I'm telling the truth if I told them we've nuked Greenland before.

[–] pillowtags@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I mean, it’s not accurate to say we nuked them, as no nuclear detonation occurred. We did contaminate the area with radiation and likely harmed the Danish workers assisting in the cleanup.

That's honestly the best reason he has given for it so far.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

This might be the only true thing he's ever said.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 20 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

I emailed my senators and my rep to tell them to do fucking SOMETHING about this sabre rattling. Write up some fucking legislation saying that the US cannot invade NATO nations, at the fucking minimum.

Will they listen? Take three guesses, first two don't count.

"it might upset NATO"

Dude, it would 100% be the end of NATO

Why won't France and the UK state they'd nuke him back if he tried? They're NATO countries too and need to stand by in solidarity with an ally being attacked. Letting the orange Hitler do as he pleases will only embolden him to go after them later.
