Sudetenland. 1938.
"By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland?"
The implied answer is obviously "by force" and if we're going to pick a fight with the entire world, that will eventually mean testing our military strength against literally everyone.

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?
M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

Just to be clear, he is admitting he takes a cognitive test every 3 months...
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The 3 stages of grief: denial, anger, ballroom
Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

So it's kind of like what they think of as socialism, but like, maybe, a national kind?
CNBC: So we should expect the US government to be taking more equity stakes in businesses around the country?
KEVIN HASSETT: It's possible, yeah. That's absolutely right.

er… no. The American Civil War and the Second World War— the two American wars with the most American casualties— both ended with unconditional surrenders.
JD Vance: "This is how wars ultimately get settled. If you go back to World War 2, if you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all end with some kind of negotiation."

In Trump's America, duly elected US Senators are handcuffed for asking questions.
California Sen. Alex Padilla was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference and handcuffed.
"I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary."

Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:
“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”
