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.

@FediThing Well, I never had hope about him.
@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!

https://www.nrk.no/urix/trump-med-ny-gronland-melding_-_-na-er-tiden-inne-1.17733081@xtaldave There are written documents, though. The U.S. agreed to let Denmark have Greenland in exchange for the U.S. Virgin Islands.
-
@xtaldave not to mention the Treaty of the Danish West Indies
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_the_Danish_West_Indies"During 1916, the two sides agreed to a sale price of $25,000,000, and the United States accepted a Danish demand for a declaration stating that they would "not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland".[12]"
So yes, there *are* written documents, which the US ratified.

@FediThing Here, I completely agree with you! @xtaldave

@Veza85UE @xtaldave Sure we do. We also even supply the current secretary general of #nato (for which we appologize) Here at home, we call him #NevilleChamberlain .

@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.@NatureMC @xtaldave Yeah he's always been King of the Pig People.
I remember when he destroyed Bonwit Teller's flagship store, he promised to donate the irreplaceable architectural fixtures to the Met, then had them destroyed. 1980.
He's just letting other people (Miller et al.) play his game for him, he's the front man. The dementia narrative may be soothing. And whatever he does have, is just a continuation of his mania for destruction.

@dazzr @shadowdancer @xtaldave Also, I'm not too sure if they can keep the whole base going without him. That's one of the disadvantages of using a politioreligious (I need a better word for this) cult for taking and retaining power. Without their cult leader, it will be hard for someone to just step in and say "hey, I'm the new leader now" and get the same results.
I'm not even sure how many of the loyalists (who swore fealty to Trump not to Project 2025) will still blindly obey...
@nazokiyoubinbou @dazzr @shadowdancer @xtaldave this is the wrong view because it assumes he is the leader. he's not and never was, he's merely a malleable but petulant disposable man child puppet for the powers that be.
