He also repeatedly said Iceland when he meant Greenland. Brain is gone

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Imagine all the NATO countries send forces to Greenland and poor Iceland gets invaded instead.
Aw fuck, this is no laughing matter, but I laughed so hard at this. Now I feel bad.
Given that Iceland has no standing army but is frequently visitided by (among others) US troops, can we call it under military occupation on this technicality already? 🤔
Let's not give the orange man the idea he already owns it please
We could probably get him to forget the whole Greenland thing by embarrassing him about calling it the wrong thing, and he'll never want to bring it up again
Nah, embarrassment makes him madder.
Mashed potato brain.
Trump surmised: Yes, we might have our internal squabbles, but I am bringing tough love because we are all in this together. We are the standard bearers of western civilisation. We must resist the barbarian hordes. We must save the white man.
The ageing president, who in 2024 complained, “We got a lot of bad genes in our country right now,” told the World Economic Forum that he was “derived from Europe”, namely: “100% Scotland, my mother; 100% German, my father. And we believe deeply in the bonds we share with Europe as a civilisation.” Trump speaking in front of a US flag. Speak hysterically and carry a big stick: Trump’s foreign policy threats Read more
He lamented that “certain places in Europe are not even recognisable, frankly, any more”, blaming culprits that included “unchecked mass migration”. Trump said: “It’s horrible what they’re doing to themselves. They’re destroying themselves, these beautiful, beautiful places. We want strong allies, not seriously weakened ones.”
What came next was pure racism...
That wasn't the pure racism part?
He went on to imply non-white people are not capable of producing functional civilization (I assume by ignoring most of human history) and then went on a rant about Somalia.
What the nazi
Oh, he went on a tirade about Somalians and the supposed fraud in Minnesota.
Donald Trump is an absolute buffoon.
That wasn't the pure racism part?
It's racism only if it's about the US part of North America. Otherwise it's sparkling xenophobia.
The Great ~~White~~ Orange Dope.
White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
Any group which resides at the pinnacle of privilege, yet feels aggrieved such that it requires exclusion of, and protection from, conflicting ideas, has relinquished all legitimate claims to strength and authority.
If they were good at anything, then they'd brag about that instead.
Yeah, I did notice the use of "remigration" (although he said "reverse migration") and "low-IQ" in referance to an ethnicity that happens to be black. Also he just openly blamed non- ~~white~~ Western culture for the third world being poorer.
I've only interacted with two dementia/alzheimer's patients, so I'll admit I don't know much about the conditions.
While yes, they could get belligerent and uncooperative, but largely would agree with pretty much whatever you were saying, as long as you weren't using a mean tone. Basically they were thought sponges that had no problem agreeing with whatever you said, and even repeating it for a short time before losing it.
Trump is clearly a thought sponge for whoever he last spoke to that wasn't immediately adversarial to him.
Someone could have some fun with that
You can't be the 'great white hope' if you are orange. How dumb is this guy??
Spoiler Alert: The dumbest on Earth at present.
Being white must be all he has left. I would love to see Sanchez bringing him in front of the Alhambra: either his brain explodes scanners-style or he will claim to be 110% Nasrid.
like a beached great white whale in nappies
I hope there's a leak of certain tests that surprises people about the DNA makeup of these people.
Dumb white dope*
Shitty orange disaster is what he fucking is
Trump SHUT UP 🤬🤬🤬🤬
This n*zi make me crazy 💀💀💀💀
The big dumb pedofile
And yet no western leader pushes back against this narrative.
Did you listen to Carney’s speech?
False, but also he holds all the guns. American justice and political systems are the ones who should be stopping him but failing miserably at it. In a normal democracy (see Brazil or South Korea for reference) he would be in jail.
