        I feel like that makes slightly too much sense to be something trump would propose. At the very least, he’d have to be aware of them not being the same place, which is already giving him too much credit.

          Did you miss the part where he called Greenland Iceland during his speech at the world economic Forum meeting?

    It really looks like what he was doing and Europe signalling that they are willing to go to war with the US over the integrity of their territory was scaring his billionaire supporters. His own party would have turned against him. He must have realized that.

    Wait, he did all this crap just to get some attention, then pussied out? No way. Man, I’m surprised. Wasn’t there something the justice department was supposed to release a month ago? I totally forgot. What was it?

      I wish he’d just declare total war with Wakanda, Atlantis or something like that, so we can get back to business while he focuses on “updates” from the Pentagon.

        The Emperor Calígula declared war against Poseidon, had his army march to the English Channel, and ordered them to strike the water with their weapons and collect sea shells as spoils of war.

        So yeah, I think you’re on to something.

          tbf caligula most likely did that as a putative thing - he wanted to shame the army for some failure they blamed on the sea or similar. Trump lacks the wit to think of something like that - I don’t think you can tariff an army, and that’s basically the one hammer in his entire toolchest.
