And United States, tell us, are you embarrassed enough by your great leader in Davos?

Trump vergelijkt zijn regime inmiddels met nazi-Duitsland.
De enige waarheid in een toespraak vol leugenachtige wartaal.

Trump: "No nation is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the US. We're a great power. Much greater than people even understand. I think they found that out 2 weeks ago in Venezuela. We saw this in World War 2 when Denmark fell to Germany after just 6 hours of fighting."

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Trump: "Canada gets a lot of freebies from us. They should be grateful but they're not. He watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful. But they should be grateful to us. Canada. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, next time you make your statements"

Trump: "We pay for NATO. We paid for many years, until I came along, in my opinion 100% of NATO, because they weren't paying their bills. And all we're asking for is to get Greenland, including right, title, and ownership."

Mark Carney's speech really is terrific: full text is here and very much worth your time.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

"Yeah she's dead, but she was paid to be there, and she was a domestic terrorist. But I heard her father voted for me, and I hope he still likes me" (Trump speaking about the ICE murder of Renee Good)

He's sick.That is fucking disgusting.

🚨🚨Check this out👇👇A French judge states that Trump sent people from the US Embassy to try to intimidate her during Le Pen’s trial for embezzlement. She says he’s done this to other judges around the world. What do you think he’s doing to judges in the US. This is madness‼️
