Delusion is getting dangerous

Donald the Delusional continues to sound and act like someone intent on taking over an 800,000-square mile island that is an exclusive piece of property belonging to an ally of the United States.

Allow me to clear the air. There is no way, not a chance in hell, that Donald Trump will succeed in his effort to annex Greenland. He dare not try to take it by force, for doing so will spell the end of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Yeah, yeah. I know that Trump has expressed little regard for NATO. His lack of regard is based on stupid ignorance. He seems to have little understanding of NATO’s importance as a hedge against aggression from — hmm, let’s see — oh yes, Russia!

Denmark owns Greenland. It also is a valuable member of NATO. For the president of the U.S.A. to say out loud that he might put boots on Greenland’s icy ground to secure the island’s annexation raises the temperature to intolerable levels.

None of this is silencing the blowhard in chief. He keeps talking in a voice loud enough for the whole world to hear that he well might send in troops to annex another sovereign nation’s legally owned territory.

It makes me wonder … what the hell is driving this clown?

He declares the United States is revered around the world. It isn’t. He keeps saying the economy was the worst shape in U.S. history when he took office a year ago. Uhh, no … it wasn’t.

Trump also says Russia and China have their eyes on Greenland and he wants to annex the island to keep Russia away from the United States. Earth to Donald: Look at a map and take a gander at Alaska’s proximity to Russia, which is my way of reminding the numbskull in chief that Russia already is in the neigbhorhood!

Danes won’t give up Greenland? Why, I never …

Donald J. Trump wants to purchase Greenland, the monstrous Arctic territorial island that belongs to Denmark.

My question is this: With what? How much money? Surely the president doesn’t think he can plunk down, oh, $7 million … the amount of money President Andrew Johnson paid in 1867 for Alaska in that purchase from the Russians. They called it “Seward’s Folly,” in “honor” of then Secretary of State William Seward, who negotiated the deal with the czar; it turned out to be a damn good investment.

Trump decided he would postpone a planned visit to Denmark after that country’s prime minister balked at the notion of selling Greenland to the United States.

Trump is trying to wheel-deal a real estate transaction the way he did when he just a commercial real estate mogul.

Good grief, dude. Get real.

The idiocy that comes from Donald Trump continues to astound many of us. Not those who hang on to his every ridiculous utterance, though. They’ll just need to explain to the rest of us how it is that their man, Trump, is not embarrassing the nation he was elected to govern.

Must I remind them that Donald Trump’s business credentials aren’t nearly as shiny and spiffy as he portrayed them while running for president? There. I just did.
