"The most corrupt president The United States have ever seen."
UK Member of Parliament Ed Davey does not mince words when characterizing Trump after his move to take Greenland.

“We are witness to something rare in human history: Abdication by the leader of the global order. We’ve almost never seen a people renounce their leadership of the world—all at once, in public view. That is what has happened in the 365 days since January 20, 2025.”

Putinism abroad always morphs into Putinism at home. And we chose this path. Why? Because something-something the price of eggs.

Thanks so much to everyone who has checked in about what it’s like in Minneapolis right now. This should answer most of your questions:
It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis

Trump is an imbecile, but here the issue isn’t that he can’t grasp concepts like independence. He’s always gotten his way through extortion, and he’s angry that Støre won’t strong arm the committee for him.
Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.

Trump will likely try to make Denmark choose between NATO and Greenland, and wider Europe between Greenland and Ukraine.
But luckily Trump has also demonstrated that under his leadership, any US security guarantee won’t be worth much. So the choice should be simple.

What European leaders have been most nervous about is the US pulling back on NATO or Ukraine… but how can Europe trust the US will come to its defense if its trying to seize territory from a NATO country. They can’t. So why cave to keep a security commitment that is not real. 6/

Feels like something cracked today in the transatlantic alliance. Europeans have been swallowing their pride, bitting their tongues, and bending the knee. That strategy may have bought them time but it has now clearly failed. It also had a major cost - it has made the WH think Europe will cave. 1/

NYT video analysis is pretty definitive. He was out of the path of the vehicle when he fired, the tires were clearly turned to the right, and the President and others are relying on the poorest quality clip to argue he was struck by the vehicle. He wasn’t
