President Donald Trump has made fresh threats to Canada and Greenland with a provocative photo on his social media platform.
Since before Trump returned to the White House, he has made his goal to expand north known, calling Canada the 51st State and insisting the US needed to acquire Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, for national security purposes.
Trump continued his pitch to gain control of Canada and Greenland, and even threw Venezuela into the mix, with an edited photo of him showing European leaders in the Oval Office a map of the countries with an American flag superimposed over them.
David Frum, a Canadian-born political writer for The Atlantic, replied to the photo Trump posted on Truth Social Tuesday, jokingly writing on X, On this map, [Canadian prime minister and leader of the Liberal Party] Mark Carney would be the front-runner for the 2028 Democratic nomination and very likely next president of the United States.

(107,102 posts)Someone (in the Trump regime? A MAGAt? A 4Chan member? A KKK member? There's little difference, these days) got AI to knock up an image for them to wank over, and Trump liked it so much it's been put out under his name, since he's Chief Troll.

He gets on there and babbles any shit that comes into his warped mind. I deplore all the political discussion, especially by Dems, that take place online now. Take ownership of what you have to say instead of hiding behind a keyboard if you are a public figure.

The US Embassy says Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich, who was convicted on criminal charges last year, was accredited as a journalist
If you think the USG is not backing the efforts to stage renewed attempts like this (including in Ireland), Pete Hoekstra has just disabused you of that.

Give him a big bowl of tapioca and turn on FOX
BTW, Carney would not be the front runner for the Democratic nomination, if anything he would be the saviour of the Republican Party. While he is boldly charting a new path for Canada on trade and defence, domestically he is turning Canada into a Petri dish for the Abundance Agenda.
In Canada, the Liberal party is to the right of most Democrats in the US.

Now, if the shoe were on the other foot, and the US became part of Canada, AOC would be front runner for the leadership of the NDP, and would have a pretty good shot at becoming the next prime minister.
But none of that is going to happen, because if the US invades and occupies Canada, Canadians will resist with every fibre in their beings, and make Irelands Troubles look like a minor disagreement at pub trivia night.

(590 posts)that will necessitate Martial Law.
The devastating war in Iran for no particular reason, economic disasters with no concern for remedies, flagrant destruction of the White House and grounds, the ICE chaos and murders and his determination in hiring the most unqualified clowns possible as cabinet members.
He is taunting us. He seems to be hoping for a full rebellion by the American people. Then he can "postpone" the election and seize more dictatorial power.
He CAN'T allow Democrats to take control of the House and Senate. He MUST do ANYTHING he can to prevent that from happening.
