It is not normal for a president to be pushing for a net -80 policy. That Trump apparently does not care about the public opinion on Greenland (or maybe he doesn't know about the polls) is a sign of how far we have drifted from normal democratic government

@shashj.bsky.social: Listening to Trump presser for 40 mins. Rambling, repetitive stream of consciousness. Narcissistic in extreme. Every thought linked back to whether person or entity voted for or likes Trump. If Biden had delivered this there would have been serious concern about his health.

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.
Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Love the “electricity” I’m guessing Trump thinks it’s fake as he can’t see it ..
Trump’s message for worried investors: Steel and aluminum tariffs taking effect tomorrow will now be 50%, not 25%, against Canada

Canada is among the U.S.’s largest suppliers of steel and aluminum

Finger on the pulse as usual. 🙄
This is (1) disgraceful at a moment of national danger, (2) laughably unserious and (3) deeply unwise when the President is obviously becoming incapacitated and the most unpopular person in the whole UK. Utterly disqualifying.
