Trump also told the Times that he isn’t opposed to using nuclear force if he “needed it” to take over the Arctic island but that “it might upset NATO," since the island is a self-governing territory of NATO member country Denmark.

He already has an emotional support Venezuela why does he also need an emotional support Greenland too?

"National Security" is the new lebensraum

"we’re not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor."

Alaska has some news for ya, buddy

My therapist has also recommended I consider conquering sovereign states. That or exercise.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 3 points 6 days ago

And we'll do just about anything before we give in to exercise!

Yes by all means let’s prioritize what the child raping bubba blowing treasonous con man wants

It's 'Psychologically Important for Me'

He's an emotionally stunted narcissistic child who needs constant reassurance so he can believe he's not a failure as a human being.

He's still a failure as a human being and history will remember him as one.

[–] LordMayor@piefed.social 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He’s also got dementia so he can’t filter himself as well, anymore. His statements are going to get crazier and crazier. He’ll say he should be in charge of the world before 2026 is over.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago

He’ll say he should be in charge of the world before 2026 is over.

He might start the war to make it happen.

I doubt a person as profoundly broken as he is should be deciding what is "psychologically important" for himself. Probably should have a really good psychiatrist weighing in on treatment, and that probably won't include making him feel better about himself by conquering random countries.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Is this real? Because "psychologically" is a word to difficult for his vocabulary.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 4 points 6 days ago

I doubt he could even repeat it back to you.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago

Sounds like something a rapist would say...

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Finally saying out loud “feels before reals”.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Trump couldn't find it on a map a year ago. The real reason is he can't handle anyone saying no to him.

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago

Somebody told him that he couldn't do anything he wanted whenever he wanted to, and he took offence to that.

Donald: Why are GenZ's having time off and can do what they want for their mental health? Why can't I take care of my mental health by taking Greenland?

[–] DrunkenLullabies@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Ah, so it's his Stalingrad. Hope that works out the same it has for other fascists and empires invading Russia

[–] Herr_S_aus_H@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

It just looks so big on a map. That is the reason Trump is on board. Other people in the administration and around it may have different reasons but Trump just wants this big island on the maps have a USA on it.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Translation: his handlers (Thiel, etc.) need it.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

For what? There’s a reason it has the population of a small city.

Greenland, please come concur the USA

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

How about you can’t just take land that’s not yours Shittler?!!!. NATO - without the US - will ensure it remains forever with Greenlanders.
