While even Canada's Conservative Leader offered praise for Carney's speech in Davos, all Trump could mutter was "Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements".
Turns out when you can't argue with the message, you just threaten the mesenger.

"...We want a piece of ice for world protection, and they won’t give it...You can say yes and we will be very appreciative. Or you can say no and we will remember..."!

"Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland...So Iceland's already cost us a lot of money"

In China, there's a nickname for Trump that tells you how his actions are increasingly seen as a gift to Beijing.
They call him Chuan Jianguo, which translates to "nation-builder" - a mocking title suggesting his foreign and domestic policies are pushing countries away from the US towards China.

Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.

The latest diplomatic dispatch from trump – presumably scrawled in crayon and full of caps lock – informs Norway that he is no longer “obligated to think purely of peace.”
A dummy spit of presidential proportions for being denied the prize! Norway must be dazzled!

Coup planner awards self peace medal while his sanctions starve the nation. Cartoonish act mocking both Nobel’s legacy and Venezuela’s suffering.
A cheap, stolen prop for his cult, inflating his ego while crushing their country. Ultimate insult to every true laureate and Venezuela’s struggle.

Absolutely disgusting!
He can’t even feign compassion. While asked about honoring a fallen National Guardsman, he boasts about his election win.
This is the most vile, self-absorbed disgrace. An utter moral vacuum.

Trump's projection is astounding.
The real traitors here are the sycophants and criminals he surrounds himself with. He's a delusional, wannabe autocrat whose own administration is a parade of convicts. Trump is the crime!

Yet again, Trump's deluded fantasy clashes with reality. He is a serial liar, and his flagrant garbage insults the intelligence of everyone (except his followers). He is an abject failure, and an embarrassment to the office.

Good riddance to this bigot. A great one for racist, Islamophobic, and anti-LGBTQ remarks, as well as comparisons between COVID-19 policies and the Holocaust.
Her resignation, forced by Trump's vile misogyny, is a fitting end to a career defined by racism and hatred. A perfect, pathetic finale.

I could imagine he would offer a biblical quote like,
"A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid anyone who talks too much." Proverbs 20:19
Thus side-steping the substance of the threat by morally framing the act of repeating it as a greater sin, dismissing the question without condemning his boss.

The science of stupidity!
It takes a special kind of bureaucratic genius to feed the very monster of misinformation you're tasked with fighting. Handing a match to arsonists and calling it "transparency" is a masterclass in stunning incompetence that puts lives at risk for no discernible benefit.

Don't stop! A fitting end would be for his two greatest admirers to claim their prize. Given his fondness for absolute rulers, a quote for bin Salman is perfect: "He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew 24:51)

Hard to imaging the current administration considering the swastika's ancient history when they deemed it acceptable. But, it has been a positive symbol for 10,000+ years across Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Native cultures, representing well-being and good fortune. Tragically co-opted in 20th century!

Conduct unbecoming!
A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Advocating the death penalty for political opponents is the raving of a wannabe dictator. This vile rhetoric, accusing others of sedition while actively undermining democracy, reveals a dangerous megalomaniac who must never hold power again.
