You cannot annex other countries, Danish and Greenlandic leaders tell Trump (www.theguardian.com)

The prime ministers of Denmark and Greenland have demanded respect for their borders after Donald Trump appointed a special envoy to the largely self-governing Danish territory, which he has said repeatedly should be under US control.

“We have said it very clearly before. Now we say it again. National borders and the sovereignty of states are rooted in international law … You cannot annex other countries,” Mette Frederiksen and Jens-Frederik Nielsen said in a joint statement.

The two leaders added that “fundamental principles” were at stake. “Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders, and the US should not take over Greenland,” they said. “We expect respect for our common territorial integrity.”

Trump is a simple thief and should be charged and jailed as such.

He is killing the country, that is for sure. The funny part is, that both EU and USA only thrives if both economies in a peace time is doing well. Non of us benefits from the crazy shit show trump is doing.

You are 100% right. Trump's actions not only harm Europe and the rest of the world, he's harming the U.S. even more, and his actions will directly lead to economic collapse of the U.S., a worldwide depression, and WWIII. Unfortunately, Trump and his supporters currently have a lock not only on all 3 branches of government, but also are developing a stranglehold on traditional media and social media via oligarchs looking to expand their control by allying with Trump's fascist regime. Sadly, it seems like far too few in the U.S. understand the alarming changes being made and the grave risks. The U.S. is fast becoming a rogue state, and possesses the most powerful military the world has seen so far. We certainly are living in interesting times.

I can see this potentially helping the EU long term though. Maybe I'm just hoping out loud...

I disagree. A simple thief would be doing a short stint in a local jail, not prison, and they'd be allowed around other inmates.

Trump should be in prison. He should be serving a sentence that will span the rest of his life. And he should be in solitary confinement for his own protection, due to the very serious possibility of his being killed in prison. As well as permanent suicide watch, to make sure he carries out as much of his sentence as possible.
