Oh, lovely.
Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

For the umpteenth time: To all our European allies, as long as Trump is president, America is not your friend, we’re your enemy. Saddens me to say that. But it’s the truth. So please band together and stand up against him. Don’t coddle him. Don’t flatter him. Treat him like your enemy. Bcuz he is.

Trump thinks we don’t need allies.
If the US leaves NATO, who would be the US's allies?

Nobody. They would have nobody to bully in the press and nobody to backstab if there was a military problem.
Americans are the most untrustworthy nation, second to none, right now.
Nobody wants to be friends or trading partners with America.

Dear US Military,

As a person of faith, I believe in peace. Unfortunately we do not have it in Minnesota, because enemies within are threatening us and our allies. Please protect the people who cannot protect themselves.

I ask you to uphold the Constitution. Our government has not.

Thank you.

A small note: terrible things are happening in Minneapolis. But also in Saint Paul. And in the suburbs. And though most of the push is in the metro, things are happening all over the state.

I've been trying to refer to the events as happening in the Twin Cities or in Minnesota.

If I walk up to you with hammer and say “I could break your knees if you don’t give me $20 but I won’t,” would you feel relieved that I’d ruled out breaking your knees?

Attn news commentators: Trump saying he could use force to obtain Greenland but won’t is not Trump saying he won’t use force to obtain Greenland. It is Trump using force as a threat to obtain Greenland. That is why he mentions it.

Insane — a French judge says Trump’s goons tried to pressure her over Le Pen’s prosecution and she was so “taken aback” she told the French foreign office

Sometimes I’m still stunned anyone believed otherwise.
PSA: When Trump brags about how much money tariffs are bringing in, he’s bragging about taxing regular folks and taking more of your money.

Reminder:
The destruction of the United States is one of Trump's goals, part of the plan.

We didn't re-elect him in 2020.
He wants revenge on us for his humiliation. He's enacting it.

These guys are out of control.
Out of town ICE thugs physically intimidate an immigration attorney protecting her clients.

ATTORNEY: "Don't push me! Why are you trying to pick them up?"

ICE GOON: "It's none of your business!"

ATTORNEY: "It is my business—I'm their attorney. It's EXACTLY my business!"

They give up and leave 😭
