Trump is the personification of a man-child. Sure he gets the trinket as a pacifier, but the dummy is too stupid to realize that it means fuck all.

Can you even imagine terrorizing an entire city, shooting and brutalizing its residents, then waltzing into one of its restaurants and expecting to get served a nice hot meal? WTF?

Trump called off strikes on Iran after a Chinese plane landed in Tehran (special cargo?); Israel secretly called the Iranian regime to assure them they won’t participate in the attack. The official claim is that Trump stopped for a tactical reason. It’s likely the US saw itself alone.

Our elders deserve more, and that includes the basic necessities of life, such as windows in Joyce Taylor's home during the cold of a Canadian winter.

With bitterly cold temperatures and a snowstorm on the way, Joyce Taylor is hoping the four heaters inside her downtown apartment unit and a big blanket are enough to keep her warm.

That putrid pile of orange excrement and his gang of grifters need more countries to exploit their natural resources. Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and others don’t want to be part of the US expansionist agenda. All together now: Fuck Trump!

"...much of what Trump and his team continue to say about Greenland is untrue, including Trump’s often repeated claim that Greenland is crawling with Russian & Chinese warships. There has not been a Chinese warship in the Arctic for a decade.
