Summary
Trump’s speech to Congress was a campaign-style tirade filled with falsehoods, personal grievances, and attacks on Democrats.
He exaggerated economic issues, blamed Biden for inflation, and misrepresented Social Security data. He renewed imperialist rhetoric about annexing Greenland and the Panama Canal while distorting U.S. aid figures to Ukraine.
Trump spent more time on culture war issues than policy, vowing to end “wokeness.” He also falsely claimed his legal troubles were political persecution.
Meanwhile, markets reeled from his new tariffs, which he dismissed. The speech showed deep partisan divides and his continued reliance on misinformation.
He renewed imperialist rhetoric about annexing Greenland and the Panama Canal while distorting U.S. aid figures to Ukraine.
What I heard him actually say would normally get most Presidents impeached.
Trump is very good at not seeking consent and ignoring limits. Just ask E Jean Carroll.
I mean he could invade it. And he could take it no issue. Not like we Danes could stand up to the US Army. But if he does invade then the US would quickly become a pariah state.
China would jump for joy at the chance to cripple their biggest geopolitical rival. They would push for sanctions on the US. The EU would probably back them to show solidarity for a member state. Canada and Mexico are already irate with the US so they wouldn’t take a lot of convincing to join. Especially Canada as this would signal they could be next. The economic woes the US is experiencing right now would look like a joke compared to what would happen in that scenario.
Would also spell the end of NATO most likely. Unless the other members decide to stick around without the US. Russia would probably declare the day a National Holiday.
In a sea of disgusting lies and undeserved co-option of others’ achievements, his comments on ‘reclaiming the Panama Canal’ and ‘Taking Greenland one way or another’ were particularly atrocious. Did this motherfucker say on live television that the United States is going to claim the sovereign territory of other nations!?!?!? Why the brainmelting fuck did Republicans clap!?!?

He did, and thats important.
But also remember, he likes to throw out red meat for the news/population to feast on, to distract.
Be sure to pay attention to what he does, moreso than what he says.
