He has imposed inflationary tariffs on virtually every country on the planet, including our allies. He has terminated international aid that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths. He invaded Venezuela and abducted its president who he calls a drug trafficker, while granting pardons to certified, convicted drug kingpins. He has deployed soldiers into American cities to suppress constitutionally protected dissent. And for that abridged selection of Trump&#8217;s many malfeasances, he believes that he should be anointed president-for-life&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68671\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Whines That He Has \u2018Accomplished So Much\u2019 That \u2018We Shouldn\u2019t Even Have An Election\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If any further proof were needed that Trump is suffering from a severe case of mental impairment, Trump himself provided it on Saturday morning. He posted a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/34583\" target=\"_blank\">tediously elongated tirade<\/a><\/strong>, intended to justify his deranged obsession with taking over Greenland, on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68571\" target=\"_blank\">his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>. It&#8217;s too long and filled with bullshit to repost. But what follows are a few annotated excerpts that provide a summary of just how far the cognitive rot has eaten into Trump&#8217;s mushy brain matter. He begins&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs.&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nNot charging tariffs is not the same as subsidizing. To the contrary, charging tariffs is commonly regarded as a sanction. which is exactly how Trump is using them in this instance by his own admission.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;It is time for Denmark to give back \u2014 World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland.&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nDenmark doesn&#8217;t owe the U.S. anything. And world peace is hardly at stake because Greenland is a territory of an American ally in NATO. Also, Russia and China have exhibit no interest in Greenland, and if they did they would face international resistance from the NATO alliance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;They [Greenland] currently have two dogsleds as protection.&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nTrump thinks this is funny. In reality Greenland has been successfully affiliated with Denmark for 300 years (longer than the U.S. has existed). And Denmark is well equipped with modern maritime and air power technologies, including a fleet of American F-35 fighter jets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation. Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken.&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nTrump is openly threatening an array of American allies. Which actually makes him the provocateur of a <em>&#8220;dangerous situation.&#8221;<\/em> Is he talking about the same <em>&#8220;measures&#8221;<\/em> he used against Venezuela?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%.&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nSo Trump is threatening to rescind his prior trade agreements that he made with these nations, and instead punish them for adhering to the long held NATO treaty obligations that the U.S. is also subject to. These tariffs will only make the cost of living hardships in the U.S. &#8211; which are due to Trump&#8217;s already atrocious economic policies &#8211; even worse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nIn Trump&#8217;s mob boss lingo, he thinks that he is extorting America&#8217;s allies to coerce them into complying with his utterly unreasonable demands. <em>&#8220;Give me what I want,&#8221;<\/em> Trump is yalping, <em>&#8220;or pay up.&#8221;<\/em> But he is actually just forcing American companies and consumers to pay more for everything imported from these countries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>True to form, Trump is demonstrating how pitifully ignorant he is of economics and international relations. But unfortunately, it is the citizens of the U.S., and these foreign targets of Trump&#8217;s egomaniacal wrath, who will suffer.<\/p>\n<p>There is, however, some good news. The suffering that Trump is causing may not be long lasting. Everything he is doing lately is contributing to his being the most reviled president in decades. And as his approval ratings sink into the abyss, his comrades in Congress will begin to fear the voters more than they fear him. At that point &#8211; and we may be there now &#8211; Trump will be vulnerable to political defiance, sanctions, and even impeachment. Particularly if he takes hostile actions toward Greenland. Or Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Portland, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68676\" target=\"_blank\">Dementia J.
