POTUS's reaction to Denmark's Prime Minister telling him Greenland is not for sale is way out of proportion to the facts. Is it any wonder that Trump has so many sexual assault claims against him?
I don't think that if Denmark's Prime Minister were a male Trump's reaction would be anywhere near as outrageous as it has been.
If any male foreign dictator had responded, similarly, to a potential U.S. policy move. It would have bounced off Trump like a feather, and he would call the dictator charming.

Trump has an ability to shock me that no other president in the world has had.

@jprtist And my other shock happens when I ask myself how was it that he was elected president.

@marguicha Politics is a strange thing, and I suppose that in the United States, we've lost our way in understanding our consititution. I blame this on our now woefully inadequate education system that teaches everything but logical analysis.
I can't discount the possibility that Russians and other entities were more successful than we're willing to admit, and certainly study, due to GOP obstructionism.
Way back, when GWB was elected by a supreme court ruling forcing a stop to counting election results, and America's ready acceptance of it. Forecast the general passivity of our population. We've had it so good, for so long, we really run the risk of being taken over by fascists before we're aware we've been taken over by fascists.
Too many people forget that fascism has long had a hold on this country. It was set back a few years, after the sound defeat of the axis in WW2, but it never went away.
It was evident when even after WW2, heroic American Black Flyers would have to give up their seats on trains to Nazi Prisoners. On a marine General's attempted coupe against FDR in the thirties. The rise of the German American Bund before and in the early days of WW2. On all the idiots for decades after the Nazi defeat, would declare that if it weren't for one thing or another, Hitler should have won WW2.
You shouldn't forget how in 1972, the U.S.A. helped Pinochet overthrown Allende in your country, and how that evil man was designated "president for life" or some bullshit like that.
Antony Scalia was educated in fascist private schools and somehow made it onto our Supreme Court.
I could go on and on, but I'm sure you get the idea. When the public quits being concerned about the longterm implications of it's country's political figures, and forgets history, it leaves itself open for fascist takeover.

Very true, and since when should any of us give a dang about his "feelings?" I'm half Danish, and I want to look that jackazz straight in the face, and say something that'll pizz him off.

Me too, but I worry that if I were given the chance, I'd spit in his face and go to prison for assaulting the POTUS.
