Donald Trump’s approach to the world is not the isolationism that many of his supporters celebrated when he returned to office—it’s “a narcissistic form of unilateralism that says, loudly, I can do whatever I want, whenever and however I want to do it,” @sbg1.bsky.social writes.
Why Donald Trump Wants Greenland (and Everything Else)
There’s no Trump Doctrine, just a map of the world that the President wants to write his name on in big gold letters.

For 248 years the streets of America didn’t feature a roving masked federal kidnapping squad that might send you a Central American death camp or just murder you themselves, but getting rid of it now is some impossible lefty fantasy that professional Democrats lamentably must struggle against.
Classic Democratic no-win. All of them voted against the OBAA, which supercharged ICE funding and hiring. But they won't say they'd "abolish ICE" so they'll get yelled at (mostly by people who'll vote for them in the midterms after threatening not to).

Commentators have to stop describing these rebukes of Trump as rare. The Senate voted to roll back his tariffs. Both chambers delivered a historic rebuke on the Epstein files. The House is voting this week to undo part of his health care agenda and override two vetoes. His coalition is fraying.

I keep going back to this. This is a taunt. They're taunting us. There is no other possible interpretation of what they're doing.
But media simply ignores this deranged behavior, because if they talk about it, one must conclude that DHS is a rogue agency, of villainous paramilitary thugs.

Trump’s foreign policy isn’t really realist, or imperialist, or neoroyalist, or about spheres of influence, etc. Its sexual predation/abuse elevated the level of the state.
When you look at the history of this persistent harassment, the pattern is clear. Greenland, Denmark, and Europe keep saying no, but Trump and his lieutenants refuse to listen. The predation will go on until somebody stops the predator.
