This Week
Trump this week
—tried to buy Greenland
—canceled Denmark trip because it wasn’t for sale
—decreed self “the chosen one” on trade
—quoted reference to him as “2nd coming of God”
—labeled D-voting Jews “disloyal” to Jews/Israel
—claimed without evidence Google manipulated 2016 votes
It’s just Thursday morning …..
Still, our Ambassador to Denmark is a graduate of Life Chiropractic College & an actress “best known for her work in Deathstalker & the Warriors from Hell” according to her delightful Wikipedia page! So on the plus side, Trump’s temper tantrum over purchasing Greenland may not make him the most ridiculous American Denmark has dealt with this week.
Thanks to Deb T for the heads up.
Yeah and it’s only Thursday. The good news is that new polling show his disapproval rate at 62% and approvals at 36%. Wait til the recession hits.
He is completely unhinged. As in “barking mad.”
1The reason Trump cancelled his trip to Denmark is that they realized that Obama would be there the next week. They did not repeat not want to have media reporting on the difference in crowd sizes.
2On the plus side, I found a great Greenland tourist website. It never would have occurred to me if it hadn’t been for the barking mad idiot himself.

3Our drop in world standing will take decades to overcome. Even if we put a sane Dem in office in 2020, they won’t trust us again to not elect a buffoon to destroy everything all over again.
4I predict he’ll want to close our AFB in Greenland (Thule). So, another win for Putin.
5Don’t forget the kingnoramous also “joked” about awarding himself the Medal of Honor.
That he “joked” about being entitled to receive the Medal of Honor is a slap in the face to every single recipient of the Medal of Honor.
That he even entertained the idea of awarding the Medal to himself exemplifies the depth of his ignorance, the breadth of his lack of awareness and decorum, the enormity of his stupidity, and the vileness of his ego.
How this draft-dodging, narcissistic imbecile has the audacity to compare himself to those who have earned and will earn the right to receive this honor is beyond the pale.
He might “have the best words”, but he has no idea of the definition of the word honor and is incapable of understanding nor demonstrating the concept.

Just so you know, I am sooooo stealling that!
8Another Nordic country has just given a big FU to the tRump regime:
VP Mike Pence is making a trip to Iceland for so damned reason. The Prime Minister of Iceland [obviously ‘nasty’] Katrín Jakobsdóttir, will not meet with Pence due to some “prior commitments”.
Looking forward to almost all the world’s leaders shunning these sleazy SOBs from now on.

In other related news, over a year ago the Tangerine Turd, in an intelligence meeting, actually floated the idea of trying to get Denmark to trade us Greenland for Puerto Rico…
Not only that, but during the 2016 Republisleaze Prez primary race, none other than Ted Cruz stated that his opponent was crazy enough ‘to nuke Denmark’.
WTF is it with little Denmark and these cretins?
PS: Denmark had a unique status in WWII, as an early German conquered nation, they managed to almost remain self-governing and relatively free under most of the occupation.
And Denmark protected almost its’ entire Jewish population from the German Holocaust, and when that became untenable, the brave Danes spirited almost all of their Jewish citizens to freedom in neutral Sweden:

Perhaps why Denmark seems to be a Rethug target?
We are now permanently mired in the Twilight Zone.
Denmark’s actually been on my ‘short list’ of emigratable countries:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark
9Denmark is considered to be one of the most economically and socially developed countries in the world.[12] Danes enjoy a high standard of living and the country ranks highly in some metrics of national performance, including education, health care, protection of civil liberties, democratic governance, prosperity, and human development.[13][14][15]
The country ranks as having the world’s highest social mobility,[16] a high level of income equality,[17] has the lowest perceived level of corruption in the world, the eleventh-most developed in the world, has one of the world’s highest per capita incomes, and one of the world’s highest personal income tax rates.[18]
There’s a back-story that goes with the Greenland idiocy, apparently:

Slow week. pResident twitter chump is showing devastating signs of aging. Less sleep, more Big Macs are just what what’s needed.
