Well, we all know what Trump's word is worth.
Pretty sure that means it's happening very soon
My bet is tomorrow.
Some marines probably woke up this morning and got issued cold weather gear for a surprise arctic exercise.
I wish his pledges were actually worth as much as his threats are, but... his threats are actually pretty credible. He's doing the Nixon mad man thing but seems like everyone's believing it.
I wish I had had the courage to buy these dips he's been manufacturing, but every time I have this feeling that if I get in there, this time it won't be like last time.
Translation: He's totally going to invade Greenland.
This guy never keeps a fucking promise.
Its hard to say.
He's known for being a pussy and running away once real opposition shows up (which Europe is doing).
He's also known as a liar, rapist, pedophile, conman, dementia riddled piece of shit.
So only time will tell, unfortunately. The US is totally and utterly fucked no matter what because they won't remove his ass. NATO with the USA is terminally ill, and every country on Earth would be psychotic to not immediately divest everything from the USA.
I wonder if the asshole president of Argentina who's conning American tax payers out of $40 billion USD is immediately converting it to gold the moment it reaches his bank account.
Its hard to say.
In other words, the guy is a loose cannon who doesn't care about 'his word'
Don't forget about the market dropping yesterday. Bet he got a few warnings about open windows and reminders that gravity still exists.
Even trump has owners and they like when they control the market swings.
Converting to Gold, Hookers, Blow, Luxury Real Estate and exotic cars.

I hope he does. A bunch of Trump loyalists following illegal orders get spanked as they make an attempt to invade. All the Trump loyalists will be court martialed for following illegal orders. Then the U.S. comes to a screeching halt and the markets go red. Republicans get the message from their corporate donors that it's time to dump Trump. They'll probably put Vance in charge and then nothing gets done politically as Vance is a bigger pussy than Trump and the GOP won't know who to follow. Which leaves the DNC to take the remaining falling pieces and sweep the mid terms. Then we are looking at about 10 years of a Democrat and moderate majority making shit worse as they stooge for their corporate donors.
I want some of whatever you're taking
It's not like it'll just come out of nowhere. There was a carrier group parked near Venezuela for months before they kidnapped Maduro.
True but he's also promised a whole bunch of other stuff and has completed.
The only odd thing is he claimed he knows nothing about it, yet has completed a whole bunch of stuff from that list.

Oh, and you can count on Trump to keep a promise, right?
Anyway, I don't even see a pledge. I see a dishonest expression of regret:
“I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force,” Trump said in a speech to government and business leaders in Davos. “Now everyone’s saying, ‘Oh good.’”
That's the energy of an abusive partner: "I don't want to hurt you, but you're giving me no option here." It's how they settle their conscience right before they hurt you.
Ding ding ding, we got a winner. Perfect analogy.
As an adult we all make a moral promise not to rape children... well this fuckwad failed miserably at that, what makes you think he isn't going to rape Greenland? He's already raping Venezuela and others currently... he's a pedophile rapist piece of shit.
that speech was pure rambling nonsense, Canada showcased how a true, elegant, educated politician sounds, not that WWE garbage we have at home:
Yes that was a good speech, very much because it was a speech about facing a new reality, not saying directly but very clearly indicating that USA is not to be trusted, and we shouldn't pretend as if they are.
Canada has made 12 International trade and/or defense deals in 6 moths. 👍 😀
That's very impressive considering such deals usually take years to negotiate. And despite that I recently saw Canadians complain their government doesn't do enough about the situation with USA? ⁉️
In much the same way EU has escalated international deals to increase independence from USA.
The clear winner here is of course China, so congratulations on that Trump!
This is just taking every single word that comes out of Trump's mouth seriously. A bad tactic.
Press X to doubt.
X
narrator: he lied
Yeah the dude flips more than a light switch. He says what he thinks sounds good for that moment. That's the limit of his ideals, unless it makes money then he does that.
Cause he's a greedy narcissist. Really that's all you need to know, if it benefits him (I think he thought calming down rhetoric during that speech would make him appear better) he does it, that's it. No deep end, no big 4d chess, he's simpler than peasants portrayed in movies.

This is more "he agrees with the last person he talked to" thing he always does. Peter Theil still wants his shithole utopia on Greenland, so he will likely flip back when he talks with him again.
So stupid all of this.
Oh shit, time to bet Trump invades Greenland by the end of the week bois!! I got 100k on it!!
FTFY: Oh shit, time to bet Trump invades ~~Greenland~~ Iran by the end of the week bois!! I got 100k on it!!
Why not both?
Hahaha bet
There, now he stopped 9 wars.
/s, so i don’t get slaughtered
And he will soon win the Preparation H Peace Prize in addition to the Footy Peace Prize he's already won!
Someone show this shit to the people who say Crimea should go to Russia since borders should be drawn on ethnic lines
I've been wondering when the press would start talking about the world appeasing Trump.
Didn't Putin say the same just a week before invading Ukraine?
Obviously trump isn't to be trusted, ever. But hopefully this is one of those times he blurts out an admission of truth. In this case maybe he realizes war won't make him short term cash? It's certainly not an indication of morality

He should show his pledge by trying a rope to his junk and have a cinderblock on the other end and throw it into the marianas trench
Would need to be a very small thin rope.
Trump is an idiot and most of what you could generously call his "plans" are ploys to get things he wants.
He seems to want Greenland. He's been getting appeased on all sides. He's going to try to take Greenland and even if he's sincere in this moment, it won't hold. I am truly worried.
Didn't he pledge to invade or "take" Greenland a few days ago?
Yes, but trump
The Cheetos does this All. The. Fucking. Time.
Threaten to do something, then threaten to buy it maybe instead? Then just chicken out.
Invading Greenland would have been successful, because of course it would have been,the IS is the best at invading right now. But keeping Greenland? That would have cost thousands of US lives, insurgencies all over the place, it would be a shit show.
So now trump tacos.. again.
Psh, there's what, 50k people there? We could genocide em in a weekend. USA! USA!
They also only live in a pretty small area of the country.
Or maybe just deport them? To where you ask? Who cares, USA clearly doesn't.
This is what’s called a dump n pump
Gotta dip the market to buy in

OK, who had the Polymarket bet on chickening out the instant his Greenland stunt hurt financial markets?
I'd sooner trust the word of Jeffery Epstein's island gynaecologist.
Did he? Wish I could believe it.
And I pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that European leaders won't say "Oh, OK, so it's all good. Sorry about the divisive rhetoric recently."
PS: I also believe that he said something like "I won't invade but we need to talk about how I get Greenland right now!"
He's got an idea of a concept of a framework of a deal.
That, and Epstein will never be in the news again.
But hey, Elliott from thirtysomething amirite?
