@xtaldave I'm not finding coverage yet other than 18news out of India (which has been unreliable in the past) and GB News which I've always found pretty _hnnnnnnnnn_
But if Schifrin is posting it both on Bluesky and The Bad Place, and at least one of those is validated, I guess it's actually from him. Hopefully. The disinfo is flying so thick right now I really feel like I have to nail everything down.

He's completely lost the plot.He's blaming the PM of Norway for him not getting the Nobel Prize (Nobel ≠ Norwegian govt).
He thinks that Norway has control over what Denmark does with Greenland.
(Norway ≠ Denmark).These are the deranged ramblings of a demented old man.
If there are any grown-ups left in America, now is the time to take back the wheel.

https://www.nrk.no/urix/trump-med-ny-gronland-melding_-_-na-er-tiden-inne-1.17733081Is he unaware that the Jews are in control of the Nobel peace price? Not the Norwegian government.

https://www.nrk.no/urix/trump-med-ny-gronland-melding_-_-na-er-tiden-inne-1.17733081@xtaldave I have problems with the narrative of #dementia because it takes all responsability from #Trump.
He *always* had a bad, very exploiting, ruthless character, and now, with the death-cult of fascism, it becomes worse. It's not a sudden illness, no sign for dementia.
He is fully responsable, state him responsable, fine him, impeach him!
It's also all the puppeteers behind him, he doesn't act alone.
And if you search for a mental disorder: pathological narcissm would fit much better. -
It's not just the content of this that is a concern, but the fact that it clearly hasn't gone through any kind of filtering by his advisors.
Heads of government in any country are typically part of a team and their comms go through a stack of advisors to make sure it does what it aims to do, and doesn't accidentally do something unexpected.
Trump doesn't seem to be doing this at all, he's treating governmental comms like a personal Twitter account and using similar speech patterns and rants. This is really dangerous, it could cause unintended consequences especially if it comes to wars or military confrontations.
@FediThing He did that already in his first term and people only grinned about it.

https://www.nrk.no/urix/trump-med-ny-gronland-melding_-_-na-er-tiden-inne-1.17733081@xtaldave Trumpistan is run by someone who clearly has dementia and has never understood that the truth is not just his opinion. He's a joke, and has made the USA a global laughing stock, especially to Putin and China. But he is surrounded by sycophants and between them they have a lot of weapons. Not good at all.
If he really wanted the remove threats to global peace he'd stop being Putin's pussy. Not sure why the media are not reminding him of this...
Time to dump US bonds.

@FediThing He did that already in his first term and people only grinned about it.
@xtaldaveI think some people hoped that Trump's weird public style was just for the benefit of his voters.
If he's doing this same thing in private comms with heads of governments in situations that could potentially lead to war, that's squashing the hope people had about it being just for show. He's clearly just totally out of his depth and refuses to admit or care about this fact.

@FediThing He did this always, very famously in interviews. The public didn't notice this so much because the texts were polished/edited.
Until some media outlets, such as The Guardian, published the full, uncorrected transcript. They showed the whole desaster! He can't have dementia for so long.
The problem is now: He posts without proofreading. He no longer allows anyone to correct him.
And yes, he's a danger for the world, for peace, and future. But the rest of the gov, too! -

@xtaldaveOh no me neither, but some people have a default assumption that people in power must all be somehow secretly clever
It's not helped by the media refusing to make leaders look stupid even when they do stupid things.

@FediThing Never say "THE media" to a journalist.
Perhaps US-Media are meanwhile quite adjusted but there are media showing him (and other freaks) in full reality! (I just talked about the coup by The Guardian, even the BBC did it). -

I meant... not *enough* of the media are willing to show leaders as they are, possibly due to "access journalism".There are good parts of the media too!
