In the last post, I speculated that today’s Greenland nonsense is a harebrained attempt by Trump to “demonstrate” to the Supreme Court that tariffs are wonderful things, and that he should continue to be able to play with his playthings.
Two more pieces of evidence point in that direction.
(1) In his speech, he “took military force off the table.” As if to “prove” that whatever success he achieves with his antics will be the result of tariff threats, not the threat of force.
(2) Around 3PM this afternoon, he let it be known that tariffs are no longer necessary because he has the “framework” of a deal on Greenland—a deal reached with someone who has no power to give Greenland away.
So, an artificial tariff-related crisis results on a non-deal deal that he can vaingloriously proclaim to be a famous victory.
So, THERE, Supreme Court! See how well those tariff threats work!
One more question, you ask: What about the fact that he thinks Greenland and Iceland are the same place? What does that have to do with anything?
Answer: it shows that the dementia is advancing.
