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.”
Members of the European Union have pushed back on Trump’s aggressive push to acquire Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory in the Arctic, saying any attempt to undermine its sovereignty violates international law.
At the height of Trump’s threats to acquire Greenland in January, Carney warned in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos that received a standing ovation, “If great powers abandon even the pretense of rules and values for the unhindered pursuit of their power and interests, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate.”
Shortly before Carney’s speech, Trump threatened to impose a 10 percent tariff on goods imported from several NATO allies, including Denmark, until a deal was reached for the “complete and total purchase of Greenland.”
Trump then backed down from his tariff threats, claiming at the time to have “formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland” with NATO chief Mark Rutte.

After American forces captured Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro — who has been accused of leading a massive cocaine trafficking operation — in January, Trump said the U.S. would run the South American country until a peaceful transition could occur.
Delcy Rodríguez, Venezuela’s vice president, however, quickly took on the role as the country’s leader.
Months later, Rodríguez pushed back on a comment Trump had made that he was “seriously considering making Venezuela the 51st US state,” warning that Venezuela is “not a colony, but a free country.”
Trump has also threatened to try to take back the Panama Canal, which ships goods between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, calling it a “vital national asset for the United States.”
Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino has insisted that his country controls the canal and that his country’s sovereignty was “non-negotiable.”

Donald Trump in March: "Under me, incomes will skyrocket, inflation will vanish, and jobs will come roaring back like never before."
Donald Trump in May: "We will end the ridiculous waste of taxpayer dollars that is fueling the inflation crisis."
Donald Trump in July: "Current historic inflation is not my fault."
Elect an entertainer and you'll get a spectacle of chaos.

American soldiers and their allies are defenseless against Iranian attacks. Almost all of their military assets are above ground. Conversely, the opposite is true for Iran.
The Iranian IRGC have taken the gloves off. They are inflicting major damage and huge losses to Israel, the US military and all of the Gulf countries hosting US military bases.

Question: How come "there is no place" for this rhetoric when a regular guy says it, but if a nazi shitbag says the same thing, it's "free speech"?
Yep, and Georgia is now a minority majority state led by the Black people. He is having a fit about that right now.

You noticed that too....
Welp, Fox News is NOT showing Todd Blanche's confirmation hearings.....The real question is: Will Fox News and other right-wing media actually cover Todd Blanche's confirmation hearings tomorrow, or will they do what they did with Pam Bondi's hearings and keep their viewers from seeing them?
You can bet Democrats will ask some tough, uncomfortable questions. If Blanche struggles to answer them, those clips will be replayed over and over during the midterm elections. The question is whether Fox viewers will ever see them the first time.
No, he doesn’t. That’s just posturing online to see who’s a bitch and calls. The only response is: if you want it, come claim it.
The fat man from queens ain’t never thrown his hands. He’s a finger in the air kinda fella.
They don’t show news at certain times.Welp, Fox News is NOT showing Todd Blanche's confirmation hearings.....
