Many clowns will object to this comparison but it fits. I cringe to think what else he will come up with.
@Duke –
You vote for a clown, you get a circus.
I would love to see a regular commentator here somehow defend putting NATO in the blender so that we can have Greenland as a territory. (?) The only person who loves this idea is Putin because Trump is doing exactly what Putin told him to, destroy NATO.
As far as Venezuela goes, what oil company is going to be dumb enough to invest billions of dollars into an oil ecosystem that has been neglected for decades when the next election (if there is one!) could simply mean any deals cut with Trump get executive ordered out of existence?
As far as Canada, or Asia, or Europe goes, which country will trust America again in the next few decades? We were dumb enough to re-elect Trump who went on to shred any sense of co-operation, somehow under the premise that we were getting a bad deal as the sole superpower. What Trump is doing to America’s relationships is going to take generations to fix.
Are we not going to talk about Greenland?
I did not vote for us to Invade Venezuela and Greenland. And now Trump is sharing maps showing Canada under American control. I can’t be the only one feeling like this is not okay?
