Donald Trump said Friday his administration will take action on Greenland “whether they like it or not,” further escalating his rhetoric as he pushes to acquire the Danish territory for the U.S.
The comments came during a meeting with oil executives to discuss the prospect of doing business in Venezuela. Less than a week earlier, the U.S. military invaded the oil-rich South American nation and captured its leader, Nicolás Maduro.
Denmark and its European allies in NATO – the military alliance co-founded by the U.S. – have pushed back, reiterating that Greenland is not for sale. But the Trump administration nevertheless says it is currently weighing a range of options on Greenland, including utilizing the U.S. military or cutting a deal to purchase it from Denmark.
They’re onboard. 40% approval rating. Let that sink in.
That’s pathetic. A guy like this in a sane country should have a 5% rating because you just can’t get everyone to not be completely garbage. 40% on his side and the military and every other armed fed goon is insanity. The only thing sinking in is that I somehow managed to underestimate just how fucking stupid they, and the rest of the world who enables this behaviour, really are.
40% too high
That’s around 150 million idiots, that want a warmongering criminal pedophile to run the country. Insane.
Not really a defense for those 40% but many of them don’t know what is going on. There are strong efforts to keep them distracted, lied to and stupid.
