Imagine if Joe Biden threatened attacking Greenland and then in front of a world audience confused Greenland and Iceland.
Mental competence questions would rage.

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."

"If you don't keep giving me money, I'll really get mad" is some real Elon Musk energy.
“We have all the cards,” he said, while also telling Europe to keep lending the US money. 🤡

Trump is the kind of guy who would be confident playing Russian Roulette because he "has all the bullets".
BARTIROMO: The Danish pension fund said they're exiting US treasuries. European companies hold trillions of stocks and bonds from the US. Do you worry they'll sell those in retaliation?
TRUMP: No. If they do they do. If that happened, there'd be big retaliation on our part, & we have all the cards

it's so cliche to refer to any mass protests as "like Hong Kong" but seriously this level of mass mobilization can only be compared to that
I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Starmer naively thinks he goes to Beijing in a position of strength having just given Xi what he wants, whereas he will go there totally humiliated, with no face, and with no cards left to play.
This government’s China policy has been a total shambles from start to finish.

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

The true Derangement Syndrome is finding a way to rationalize how the below a remotely acceptable level of cognitive or moral functioning in a President.
Ok, but can we all agree this is super weird?
He can’t remember which country he threatened to invade and he says they “call him daddy”….?!?
