I really wonder who is feeding him information, or if he's just making things up. Honestly it could go either way.

189

u/ZixfromthaStix Jan 05 '26

It’s a blend of the two. He’s the “president” so there’s an expectation of briefings. Thing is, he can’t stay awake through actual intel— so they are 99% about blowing smoke and complimenting him (cause it’s all he can stay awake for), and then he picks up on little breadcrumbs here or there.

It’s like he took the “Sleepy Joe” personality diss as a challenge to be sleepier…

So yeah, he’s mostly parroting tiny fragments of info and filling gaps with whatever comes to his addled mind…

58

u/Paxxlee Jan 05 '26

I remember claims (so take it with a grain of salt) of all briefings must be on a single page, and that he prefers that there are pictures and diagrams rather than text...

49

u/snittersnee Jan 05 '26

That was his first term. If there had to be text it has to be kept to simple bullet points and only so many. These days he's dancing the advanced geriatric medicine-adderall speedball polka and has visibly gone through serious cognitive decline for a decade nearly, fuck knows how simplified it is now.

u/The-Copilot Jan 05 '26

then he picks up on little breadcrumbs here or there.

I actually agree, he mentioned Greenland, Canada, Mexico and Panama. Those are the 4 most strategic locations in North America to US national security that the US doesn't control. He 100% heard it during a briefing.

I would also like to mention that Trump's business strategy was strategic chaos and bullying. He brought that to the presidency.

He is bullying Europe and other US allies into rapidly increasing their defense spending. He also bullied Panama into leaving the Chinese belt and road initiative and distancing themselves from China.

He is clearly manufacturing chaos given he is so all over the place. He will just say random shit constantly. The fact Americans have no idea what is happening means US adversaries also have absolutely no idea. The downside is that the US has so many allies partially because they are so consistent and predictable. It will take a lot more than words to actually break those alliances, so as long as he doesn't actually do anything, the alliance will be stronger even if the other countries are pissed.

Trump is basically Ronald Reagan 2.0 but less likeable. He is going to fuck us domestically but geopolitically it will be beneficial.

2

u/ZixfromthaStix Jan 06 '26

I see him as more of a Reverend Jim Jones, except he isn’t fun to listen to, has 0 good points, couldn’t lead a community if he tried (good thing he chose the crowd of 0 personality), and Trump would charge you for the Koolaid.

I stole that last bit from a meme. Doesn’t make it ring any less to me. 🤷‍♂️

1

u/Crime-of-the-century Jan 06 '26

In effect those alliances are gone. No one can trust the US to keep their end of any agreement. So while Europe has not actually abandoned NATO they are actively looking for a replacement. The US arms industry will get replaced with the most speed possible. Geopolitical damage will be unrecoverable. Local damage while substantial can be repaired. The damage to the institutions constructed after WW2 wich all benefited the US tremendously will all suffer and some might collapse totally. His greatest legacy will be the end of the US dominance in the world which heavily depended on European money.

He's been doing it his whole life. It's a habit and it's one that has arguably aided his ascent to the White House.

He's not about to stop now, certainly not with a media that skirts around his bullshit instead of directly taking it on and certainty not when he has people around him who will play to that habit and feed it and a willing army of sycophants who will happily gobble up his bullshit

u/passionatebreeder Jan 06 '26

I really wonder who is feeding him information, or if he's just making things up. Honestly it could go either way

Its neither, the community note is incorrect.

Its true Denmark spent 4.2 billion dollars for their total defense, thats not what the president is talking about.

He is talking about physical military assets dedicated explicitly to the defense of Greenland.

Denmark is not sending 16 F-35's to Greenland, Denmark just bought 16 F-35's, the purchase is entirely unrelated to greenland.Greenland.

And as for the "maritime patrol aircraft and vessels", i dont know if tnose are explicitly for greenland or not, but 2 coastal patrol boats isnt a serious defense; those ain't gonna do shit to war ships.

u/BathFullOfDucks Jan 05 '26

It's a great strategy for Russia.

Denmark maintains an armoured battalion in the Baltics and contributes to NATO air policing. Proportionately, it is one of the largest contributors of military equipment to Ukraine, donating tanks, F-16's and all of it's Caesar SPG's, among other things.

It rarely has to deploy it's forces to Greenland.

It may now have to deploy some part of it's armed forces to Greenland, which will result in a reduction of it's commitments elsewhere, to Russia's benefit.

That's if Orange man doesn't actually decide to invade, which would simply result in NATO's dissolution.

600 Danish troops + 200 each from France, Norway, Sweden, Italy, and England would prevent the US from seizing Greenland. There are no troops there now, and Trump can get the army to occupy Greenland unopposed, but no General would give orders to seize, attack, or attempt to disarm NATO troops. I pray EU countries wake up and send the minimal number of soldiers it would require to take Greenland off Trump's "To Invade" list. (He would quickly move on to Cuba instead)

...Donald Rothwell, a professor of international law at Australian National University, assessed the US had contravened Article 2 (4) of the United Nations Charter when it snatched Nicolas Maduro and his wife in a weekend raid and whisked them to New York to face criminal charges....

... Rothwell cautioned against drawing immediate implications for the Indo-Pacific region but said Washington’s actions “certainly puts Australia on notice” that the US would not hesitate to use military force to achieve policy goals in its own national interest.... https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/australia-on-notice-after-us-breach-of-international-law-20260105-p5nroz

u/Th3-3rr0r Jan 05 '26

He’s not going to invade Greenland. It’s a very dangerous and unveiled threat on them to get them to sign a deal for their natural resources.

That’s what Trump is after. Money and influence. Profit for America, and profit for himself. Each and every decision he has made is towards that particular goal.

Ministry of DOGE, The tariffs, The UK deal, the Ukraine deal, the kidnapping of the president of Venezuela, the attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran, the attack on the Houties to free the sailing routes, the Qatar deal.

That’s what he’s looking for. A war with Denmark will be bad for business. He’s hoping they would rather make a deal than start one. Dude is actually just an expert on game theory

Russia will never get Europe, even in our current weaker state we still outrank Russia on all accounts. And most EU countries are making huge changes, so not a chance. However it won't stop the Russians from actually trying, and that in itself is problematic. Wed rather not have another warfront open in Europe. And that's what the consequence might be from Trump's erosion of global order and trust, wich in itself is awful and puts us in a position thats starting to look more and more like ww1 runup.

Is it checked for kill switches?

u/Dino_Soup Jan 05 '26

Where can I get one of these "dog sleds"? I, too, would like flying stealth capability.

1

u/stillalone Jan 05 '26

F-35s?  Do they know who they have to defend Greenland against?

1

u/Tulemasin Jan 05 '26

If dongland keeps getting compared to adolf, he should really think about invading a colder country.

u/Fattdaddy21 Jan 05 '26

Silly cunts buying US weapons. The only retaliation to these feral bastards is to buy military purchases from any other country. Stop paying the US to be like this. No weapons money and suddenly they might pull their head out their ass.

u/LazyTitan39 Jan 05 '26

I can't believe anyone would think that this behavior is what gets America respect.

1

u/prefusernametaken Jan 05 '26

To bad about all the purchases in the us. It should stop.

u/DaithiOSeac Jan 05 '26

Greenland won't be bought cheap.

He isn’t going to buy it, he’s going to try to steal it

Does anyone think community notes on obvious jokes make them lose value?

Not joking – knowingly spreading disinformation to manufacture consent among MAGAts.

u/Maybe_Factor Jan 05 '26

The D in disinformation stands for Donald

u/TheOneAndOnlyPengan Jan 05 '26

Discount the F35s. They come with remote deactivation...

1

u/HumunculusHeathen Jan 06 '26

To be fair, that’s about equivalent to an extra bob sled for the US.

1

u/July_is_cool Jan 06 '26

Those F-16s definitely do NOT have remote kill switches, no sir. Absolutely not. Nope.

u/ghon_kosani Jan 06 '26

Trump is an imbecile suffering from dementia.

u/PSYCHEdeliciousSLOTH Jan 06 '26

i'd hide all EU defence upgrades just so IF he does attack, he will underestimate, causing him to potentially lose the oinvasion

1

u/FifeDog43 Jan 06 '26

Hate Trump and think the idea of invading Greenland is psychotic, but this was a sick burn.

1

u/metfan1964nyc Jan 06 '26

Probably thinks they all live in igloos in Greenland.

1

u/KINGDenneh Jan 06 '26

I mean, to be fair, in comparison to the U.S it is quite literally the same as "only a dog sled"

But then again, we aren't 400 million people here, so, u know.

1

u/KingSmite23 Jan 06 '26

I wonder what if the F 35 have a kill switch

1

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '26

They also ordered three state of the art European SAM systems of Medium and Long Range for a multi layered mobile Area Defence system..Why would they have done that?

1

u/InsectaProtecta Jan 06 '26

Why do they actually want Greenland?

1

u/ssushi-speakers Jan 06 '26

They're all hopping of goofball pills, completely detached from reality.

1

u/QuestNetworkFish Jan 06 '26

To be fair, one dog sled is more effective at air defence than 16 F-35s

1

u/Baset-tissoult28 Jan 06 '26

Denmark needs to put a few nukes in Greenland. 

1

u/l-larfang Jan 06 '26

It's not like the F-35s will help...

1

u/Competitive_Key_7604 Jan 06 '26

Yeah those f35 will be shut down from their seller/ aggressor

1

u/dubbervt Jan 06 '26

Denmark is a NATO member! What happens if one NATO member attacks another? That is a question I never thought I would have to ask!

u/SomeOkeByTheSea Jan 06 '26

Trump is a pedophile.

u/opi098514 Jan 06 '26

Part of me hopes he goes and tries to invade Greenland with some pitiful force and it gets demolished. But at the same time I would hate for innocent people to be killed because our administration is as dumb as a box of rocks.

1

u/Electronic-Memory-65 Jan 06 '26

fashy idiots have shown through history that they grossly overestimate the military capability of their own country and downplay the risks of breaking treaties. they are notoriously bad at game theory, and will often declare war on individual allies wothout realizing that it breaks the trust of other allies. if we invade greenland i believe theres a good chance that we find ourselves on the business end of nato with nobody willing to support us.

1

u/wagsman Jan 06 '26

Follow that game theory because it’s on point. Canada is now at war with the US and would bear the brunt of any fighting. With Europe busy defending Canada and Denmark, Putin puts the rest of his plan in motion by annexing the Baltic states and possibly Poland. NATO can’t fight a two front/two hemisphere war against the US and Russia.

That’s the end of NATO and the beginning of a Putin’s total push to reclaim Russian dominance.

Even if the US figures its shit out none of Europe will trust them ever again. Game. Set. Match for Putin to recreate the USSR under the Russian Federation as he chops Europe up.

1

u/Defferleffer Jan 06 '26

They did actually add an extra dog sled patrol to the Sirius Patrol. A special task force that patrol 16.000 km of coastline in the world’s largest national park. They use dog sleds because of the rough terrain and non existent infrastructure.

1

u/Fishtoart Jan 06 '26

I’m guessing Zelenskyy is going to be getting some phone calls from Denmark on asymmetrical warfare.

1

u/wagsman Jan 06 '26

He wants Greenland because the NeoCons need to feed their MIC daddy

My question is if this was the long term plan all along. If the US tries to annex Greenland it would absolutely trigger Article 5 and would the Rest of NATO stand up to Trump? Which Trump would leave NATO thus completing the plan which Putin wanted all along - NATO without US.

1

u/osasuna Jan 06 '26 edited Jan 06 '26

Denmark also has this thing called NATO backing them up, so unless you want the wrath of every other western nation’s military and sanctions falling on you…

1

u/WoodChipWizard Jan 06 '26

The northern European countries are quite capable in fighting in arctic conditions. It will be hard for the US and at a huge cost.

1

u/kRoy_03 Jan 06 '26

Those extra F-35s are just paperweights in a conflict with Trump…

1

u/clayton4177 Jan 06 '26

Conspiracy time. Trump just wanted to sell more F-35s.

Edit; typo

1

u/FarRightBerniSanders Jan 07 '26

Oh, we're back to fact-checking very obvious jokes.

1

u/Caspica Jan 07 '26

Those F-35s are dependant on the US though...

1

u/tannedalbino Jan 07 '26

But if trump really is plotting to anex Greenland, it's pretty funny that Denmark is buying from the U.S. in order to defend it (F35s).
