Trump IS bamboozled about Greenland, it is NOT a huge country. It appears large because it is displayed using a Mercator projection (created in 1569 by Geradus Mercator for navigation). Mercator maps distort land area nearest the poles. A problem when flattening a globe. truesizeofcountries.com

These are murders by our military. There is no legality. No proof. Just killing people to distract from Epstein files, Homan files, and all the corruption and graft.
Extrajudicial murder.

CHRINO: A person who claims to be a Christian, but doesn’t follow Jesus’ directions. Like Love one another, Love your neighbor, etc. Ergo, Christian in name only. Pronounced kry-no since they cry so much about nothing, like people are trying to destroy Christmas!

Can you imagine any normal President of the United States giving a speech in a foreign nation disparaging former Presidents of the United States? It's mind boggling.

From Huffington post:
“It’s important to get some clarity from looking at what it is and what it isn’t. It is not a peace deal, it is not a peace process, it’s a ceasefire and hostage agreement."
