@bangskij @xtaldave "When it comes to the peace prize, I have several times made clear to Trump, as is well known, that it is an independent Nobel committee, not the Norwegian government, who awards the prize"
I mean... That really does just make Trump sound like that kid that does not understand that Mom can't do anything about the fav. candy being sold out at the store.

@fisher we are, but I also hope that you get rid of him soon.
@connynasch First, you're not. And second, alas, I'm not an american to "get rid of him". I'm sitting under constant threat in Kyiv, experiencing blackouts each day, 12-16 hours without electricity. In a country which had the cheapest electricity in the whole Europe, yeah. We had exported our electricity before...

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.

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.

@xtaldave and frankly, we’re in this situation because everyone he’s surrounded by, including the Republican Party, agree with him

- underlines support for Greenland
- mentions that US holds UK by the nuclear balls
- warns people about unguarded social media posts
Journalists are giving him a hard time.
- Beth Rigby "biggest crisis in the transatlantic relationship"
- Preston "why are you assuming Trump will listen to reason when it is patently obvious he does not"
- Gary Gibbons "Trump is not behaving as an ally" -

People seem to keep expecting some actual adults to step in and say "Oh but obviously that can't really happen, we'll sort it out" and they don't. People like this are surrounded by sycophantic grifters who have no interest in the common good or the long term, they'll facilitate anything that helps them suck up

@FediThing @xtaldave Trump swapped out everyone for yes-men who blindly obey long ago. They haven't been filtering him in a long time.
If you're wondering, yes, our entire upper government is compromised.

I do fear the same. Crown Prince JD Vance, established and fostered by Peter Thiel, is acting worse than Donnie.
@dazzr @shadowdancer @xtaldave Everyone around Trump is epic bad, but I'm not 100% sure they are *as* bad in the certain important key ways. Trump has a certain... force of sheer stupid bullishness where he just charges forward and forces things through means that Vance and the others can't duplicate. They even may fear consequences (a thing Trump doesn't recognize.)
That's not to say they won't be *bad* but they may not be able to keep things going like they currently are without him.
