It is not normal for a president to be pushing for a net -80 policy. That Trump apparently does not care about the public opinion on Greenland (or maybe he doesn't know about the polls) is a sign of how far we have drifted from normal democratic government

Trump still thinks wokeness went too far. But behind closed doors he’s increasingly alarmed at the president’s social media statements.
At some point we will get a story that Trump is privately alarmed at what Trump is doing:
Key phrase, for me: "Privately, [Weiss] has expressed alarm at many of the Administration’s actions, a person close to Weiss told me." When you look at the entirely rightwing, MAGA effect she's had on everything she touches, this can only be taken as ass-covering. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Chuck Schumer has internalized the idea that Trump represents real America and he doesn't, so he feels the only way he can also get real America to support him is if he shepherds Trump through his own madness.

![Punchbowl screenshot
“COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A bipartisan group of lawmakers who traveled here on an urgent mission to reassure Danish leaders amid President Donald Trump’s escalating threats to acquire Greenland had a straightforward message.
In an interview between high-level meetings, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin summed it up this way: “Give us a chance to give [Trump] a way out of this that comes to the right ending.”
Durbin added: “I don’t know if that’s possible.”
The four-decade veteran of Congress, who’s been on dozens of CODELs, wasn’t just referring to Trump’s apparent determination to take over the Danish territory at all costs, or Republicans’ hesitation to openly defy him. Durbin was giving a sobering assessment of Congress as a supposedly coequal branch of government.
Over the span of several decades and under the leadership of both parties, lawmakers have ceded their authority to the executive branch on everything from war powers to tariffs to the power of the purse. Hill leaders have prioritized avoiding politically difficult votes or been slow to react – or done nothing – as presidents repeatedly pushed the limits of their own power at the expense of Congress.
“It’s not just this moment or this president,” said Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), who co-led the delegation. “What makes this moment so hard is, if Congress can’t stand up in the face of something where there is no strategic value and lots of strategic harm…is Congress really willing to exert its authority at all?”
That’s what made this particular CODEL so uniquely difficult — and surreal.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cf26plxwia7dxpm6plry3sj2/bafkreibjseyx4567lbf33ldoqqe66czitqhdzl7ppsi4s3swrfyo6dtwsu@jpeg)

Utter madness.
