Get real! Trump hates Liberals, can’t blame him they are a notch below Islamists.

The common theme with Trump is he wants to end the extreme left. He wants to bring down the EU and the Canadian Gov’t. He wants to be able to protect the USA from Russian hypersonic missiles which is why he wants Greenland, Denmark are incapable. After all the years of propping up NATO and all the Billions given to Ukraine you’d think the EU would show a little gratitude and understanding to an Ally’s concerns. Especially an Ally that you need on your side ffs!
You have gone mad.
Just relax a bit; It will help.
The only mad people around are the gimps that still support what the Beuracrats in Europe are doing to the Continent. Perhaps you should wake up it will help.
not sure if the possibility has occurred to your tiny fundamentalist brain but it's possibly to be critical of both EU/UK domestic policy, and US foreign policy simultaneously

He wants to topple the EU and Canadian government? interesting.... He doesnt need to literally own Greenland, he's been offered all the military bases he wants there. We all know why he really wants ownership, even you. Stop pretending you don't know its a landgrab for resources.

So if he decides he wants any country in the world, even NATO one, for "protection" reasons, you're just going to blindly support it are you? TDS at his strongest in every post you write

I find it slightly amusing that Trump uses tariffs as a threat to the EU and his own people cheer him on, without a mention that the EU don’t pay those tariffs.
All he’s doing is making food, agriculture and pharmaceutical imports more expensive for the US consumer or US importers.

about 30% of US pharmaceutical imports come from the EU, and c20% of food and agriculture imports.

btw with modern technology it’s still almost impossible to shoot down 1 hypersonic missile. Just one. 
it’s like trying to shoot a bullet with a bullet.

the new recruits got any classic quotes throwing shade at reform? 

most of them do.
Or just joining a party more closely aligned to their own politics?

Given the revelation that Trump is ITK, do you think he'll reveal all about Greenland being part of the Carrick deal?

What he's said, unless you think numerous new outlets are just talking it up. Now, if it really came to there being a credible imminent threat of an alternative of China / Russia taking Greenland by force he might have a point but there's little evidence to suggest it unless he is somehow ITK on something. 
Ok, so you don't think he means the sanctions then, he means war? 
 
 
I think he says a lot that he doesn’t mean and shouldn’t say. I don’t honestly think for one minute the US “invades” Greenland, but then why imply it? Maybe he enjoys watching the other NATO counties take the bait and send their troops to Greenland as a retaliatory “gesture”

I enjoyed Trump's take on why the Danes don't own Greenland:

‘Just because some Danes landed in Greenland on a ship some 500 years ago, it doesn’t mean it’s theirs.’


and they say Americans dont get irony.................

And if China tells kweer to do that I'm sure he will.

It would not surprise me to find out that Trump considers the Moon belongs to the USA on the basis that USA citizens were the first, and only, humans to set foot there.

The crazy thing is, the US already has a border with Russia, albeit via the Diomede islands.
