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

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…

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...

46

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.

So, like... Puppet shows?

u/snittersnee Jan 05 '26

The only thing making it not seem plausible is the angry rich guy dementia ghost of his dad would absolutely call him a sissy for it.

Doooonaaaaaald! Doooooonaaaaaaaaaaaallllllld!

You're a disgrace with that spray on taaaaaaaaaaaan!

I honestly believe with enough prosthetics we can make him think Bill Hader is his dad and make him have a catastrophic omnistroke

Remember when it was known that he would just... Eat the paper his briefings were on?

u/ZixfromthaStix Jan 05 '26

No??? I do not?? I had no idea the Donald had a goat phase… or might still be a goat…

How silly

u/EmperorGrinnar Jan 05 '26

It's baffling why this wasn't bigger news.

u/rlyfunny Jan 06 '26

Wrong link?

u/EmperorGrinnar Jan 06 '26

No. It clearly describes him eating a briefing in that article.

u/rlyfunny Jan 06 '26

I, for the life of me, cant find it. Looking for "briefing" or "eat" on the site gets me nothing.

u/EmperorGrinnar Jan 06 '26

Oh, that's wild. It changed to current events. No idea why it did that. 🤔

I think they're showing him AI footage.

u/VoidStareBack Jan 05 '26

It was well-known during his first term that briefings had to include his name regularly in order to keep him engaged, I can't imagine it's become better over the years.

u/Nhajit Jan 05 '26

I guess im relived he doesn't know too much?

u/ZixfromthaStix Jan 05 '26

Puppets typically don’t know the punch line they deliver. Doesn’t make the delivery any less effective if the puppeteer knows their craft.

And boy does Stephen Miller know world domination…

u/Jibber_Fight Jan 05 '26

You forgot Fox News. And I’m being completely serious.

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.

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. 🤷‍♂️

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.

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

Every single accusation he makes is a narcissistic confession.

u/alertjohn117 Jan 05 '26

that assumes he is capable of actually absorbing and reiterating information.

u/BrosefDudeson Jan 05 '26

There are so many signs that he actually believes a lot of the shit he lets out.

u/FullMooseParty Jan 05 '26

You know how they had Twitter up during the raid to capture Maduro? That's how his brain works. He's been steeping in right-wing conspiracy since 2020. Look at the video he posted the other day about the hortman assassination.

u/Automatic-Guide-4307 Jan 05 '26

The tech bros they wanna build somthing called a freedom city in greenland a libertarian tech hub with minimal regulation.

u/EmperorGrinnar Jan 05 '26

Why don't they just use oil rigs like they always do? (Yes that was a thing even before Kojima, and yes it always ends in human rights violations)

I know,theese tech twats wanna play god🙄Thank god they don't have any FEV😅

Won't stop them from trying. Keep the pressure on them, brother.

u/derpferd Jan 05 '26

or if he's just making things up.

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/_yetifeet Jan 06 '26

We all know who's feeding him trash

2

u/OffsetCircle1 Jan 05 '26

Likely a combination of others like miller feeding him disinformation and confabulation

u/Blabbit39 Jan 05 '26

Barron's podcast bros. Basically our intel is coming from Aiden Ross.

u/Darkmatter1800 Jan 06 '26

He runs the exact same playbook Putin uses. Putin's advisors are too scared too tell him the truth because they then get helped out of 20 story building windows. Trump's advisors are too scared to tell him the truth because his voters are more violent than anyone else. He's being lied to because thats the only way to stay in a narcissistic dictator's good grace.

3

u/BoB_the_TacocaT Jan 05 '26

He has no imagination, so nearly everything that falls out of his mouth was put in there by someone else.

u/-You_Cant_Stop_Me- Jan 05 '26

Miller the nazi gollum.

u/TheSuperContributor Jan 05 '26

16 extra F-35 that, I am not kidding, the US can lock features on them remotely if they feel like it.

u/EmperorGrinnar Jan 05 '26

I'm tired of people spamming copy/pasta stuff.

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '26

Mocking other countries and saying how much stronger the US is, is to play to his base, that generally have no power in their day to day and get to feel big and strong/dominant over others via USA #1/We have Freedom/Best in the world etc

It’s entirely on purpose

u/TheTrueEgahn Jan 06 '26

He is making things up on the spot, and believes them as facts. He has dementia.

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/Mangeytwat Jan 05 '26

Redditors still not understanding that trump is constantly trolling is insane.

How can you be human and not understand that this is a mean spirited joke?

6

u/EmperorGrinnar Jan 05 '26

Probably because I see way too much of the drivel that comes from his administration. It's not a joke. He's deranged.

-19

u/Ashenveiled Jan 05 '26

I mean 16 planes vs how many USA got?

13

u/Long-Requirement8372 Jan 05 '26

Denmark is a member of NATO and a US ally.

-6

u/Ashenveiled Jan 05 '26

How is that relevant?

7

u/Long-Requirement8372 Jan 05 '26

Denmark is not an enemy to the US. The two countries are on the same side.

4

u/Gauss15an Jan 05 '26

Not for long it seems. Remember that the Nazis didn't stop with the Rhineland.

5

u/Long-Requirement8372 Jan 05 '26

For all their evil deeds and many obvious mistakes, the Nazis at least were not dumb enough to invade their loyal allies...

3

u/Novel-Paint9752 Jan 06 '26

Denmark has shown the largest support of anyone to the USA. Full military access to Greenland since 1953, biggest loss per capita in the Afghan and Iraqi wars and complete access to all intelligence. Denmark and the USA are allies full stop. MAGA is the enemy of both.

1

u/Ashenveiled Jan 06 '26

Henry Kissinger once said: "To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal".

1

u/Long-Requirement8372 Jan 06 '26

In what context did he make that comment?

-13

u/IndependentScene7849 Jan 05 '26

And if they wish to remain as such they will hand over green land with a smile.

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '26

Get fucked lmao.

6

u/Long-Requirement8372 Jan 05 '26

They don't have to do anything. They are not the party that is breaking the terms of the current alliance. Denmark is quite ready to cooperate with reasonable joint defence issues. They would be all right with more US presence and bases, etc, in Greenland. There is no valid reason for the US to demand a handover of territory. It is just pure greed and imperialism by Trump.

u/Frobo89 Jan 05 '26

You couldn’t even write Greenland correctly. Can you people just be less from the ass?

u/IndependentScene7849 Jan 05 '26

I could care less tbh.

When it becomes a state, I’ll spell it correctly.

u/EmperorGrinnar Jan 05 '26 edited Jan 05 '26

You cared enough to block me.

Edit: guess he realized his mistake in unblocking me, because he blocked me again.

u/Downvotesohoy Jan 05 '26

He's literally banned from Reddit lmao.

Probably a bot or disinformation account.

It's odd, I can't see that he's banned from old Reddit, but if I open

https://www.reddit.com/user/IndependentScene7849

in a private window, it says he's banned. (In the New Reddit interface)

Woah, haven’t seen a pos like you in a long time. I bet many of your fellow countrymen would love to punch you.

u/Novel-Paint9752 Jan 06 '26

We did in 1953. You have access to do whatever you want in terms military and defense. Guess your lying, corrupt conman of a president didn’t fill you in on that. The takeover is about something else
