The supposed anti-war "America First" president has had a wild first 2.5 weeks of his second presidential term. He kicked it off by threatening to use the military to take control of both Greenland and the Panama Canal. Then he became fixated on the idea of having Canada join the United States as the 51st state.
Well yesterday things got even crazier. Captain Crazypants announced in a joint press conference with Israel's prime minister that the US would take over Gaza, level it, rebuild it over the course of 15 years, and turn it into "The Riveria of the Middle East". For real. The move shocked pretty much everyone. It also pissed off Hamas and Palestinians which could cause complications for the current cease fire between them and Israel.
But hey at least the price of eggs is down, right?

I loved what he said about EVERYBODY he’s talked to loves the idea. What, he talked to himself in a house of mirrors? He’s about to find out that the people in that region do NOT worship money the way he and his cronies do. And he may find out the hard way, at the expense of attacks on us. He could have spit in their faces and not insulted them more.

He has saddened me beyond words.
I had little respect for him as it was due to things he said about my country his last stint in office, but the latest rounds of insults are over the top.
I just read that Greenland will vote on March 15th and consider Trump's offer-maybe that will leave the rest of the world alone for a while if he gets wrapped up in that.
Or maybe someone should give him a lump of playdo and leave him to play with that.

Are you kidding me? I guess not. He can't be for real surely.
