Part 1 of 2
As soon as Donald Trump was elected, he became the de facto leader of the United States, months before he was to officially take office. I don’t recall any incoming president taking such an active role. Foreign heads of state visited him at Mar-a-Lago. Trump represented the United States at the reopening of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, not Joe Biden. But mostly Trump has threatened foreign countries, sometimes with positive consequences. Peace is threatening to break out in the Middle East and Ukraine. Mexico, Canada, and BRICS were rattled and cowed by threats of economic sanctions. Hopes and markets soared.
Of course the euphoria will end on January 20th, when Trump is inaugurated and has to govern within the laws, in cooperation with the congress, the judiciary, and the bureaucracy. Then we’ll all be taking a cold shower, once we are reminded of how petty and dysfunctional the American regime is. Many will look back fondly at these few weeks. It really is an argument for dictatorship.
The closest historical analogy that comes to mind is when Octavian returned to Rome victorious in the civil wars and established the Empire. He was the de facto ruler, yet the Senate had to figure how to reconcile this with the institutions of the old Republic. But no matter what official positions he held—consul, tribune—he derived no power and scarcely any legitimacy from them. Power and legitimacy had passed beyond the old institutions.
The Trump interregnum is interesting because Trump really shouldn’t be able to govern until he is actually sworn in as president. But if Trump is governing already, ex officio, what does this mean about the nature of political power? If Trump’s power rests on the Constitution, then he should have no power before he is inaugurated. If he is governing, then his power does not rest on the Constitution. Of course, his power is not unrelated to the Constitution, for we all expect Trump to take office on January 20th. Until then, however, Trump’s power does not rest upon the laws of the land. He’s levitating, and the question is: What is holding him aloft?
Aside from the expectation that Trump will take office is the fact that Trump has the mandate of the people. He won both the popular and electoral votes. Another part of it is the nullity of Joe Biden. Nobody is pretending anymore that he is president, and the people who ruled from behind the curtain are too busy shredding documents, inventing alibis, and moving funds to foreign bank accounts. Frankly, they’re probably glad that Trump is hogging the news cycle so they can slink around in the shadows.
I think Emperor Trump is making a serious mistake with all this bluster. I wish he would simply shut up, pretend to be humble and gracious, and get his team ready to take power.
He’s won. There’s no more need for campaigning.
There’s no point in talking about the things he wants to do before he can actually do them. In fact, there’s every reason not to talk about them, because it gives his enemies time to plan to counter him.
The Left has been curiously muted since the election. Many of them are in shock. I see no point in winding them up. But that’s exactly what Trump is doing with all this talk.
People were hoping for a return to something resembling “normalcy,” not a whirlwind of international drama.
Teddy Roosevelt was famous for saying “speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.” Trump’s policy of loudly blustering before he even has a stick will only impede him.
Of course, you can’t have an emperor without an empire. Emperor Trump has astonished the world by proposing to expand the American empire by taking over Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal. The rationales for these moves are patently absurd. Yet the response from the MAGA movement, as well as people who should know better, has been rapturous. Some are even giddily talking about annexing Mexico now. The whole spectacle is bizarre and contemptible.
American families are smaller than ever, but American houses—for those that can afford them—are larger than ever. This is just the sort of thing one expects of a dying, decadent civilization run by a self-indulgent, out-of-touch gerontocracy.
So maybe I shouldn’t be surprised that Emperor Trump is proposing to enlarge the territory of the dwindling American nation.
Why, exactly, does America need more territory? To flood it with brown people?
The Greenland Question
Let’s deal first with Trump’s rationale for annexing Greenland by purchasing it from Denmark. This idea was first floated in August of 2019. It was then revived in December of 2024. There are two basic rationales: geopolitical and economic. Neither of them is compelling.
First, Greenland is strategically important. It lies along the shortest route across the North Atlantic from North America to Europe. It is the location of America’s Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base). Greenland is also close to Russian military routes. Russian ballistic missile launches against the United States would pass over Greenland. Moreover, as the Arctic ice melts, new seaways will be opened around Greenland for commercial and military traffic. But none of these considerations amount to a case for annexation.
Aside from the US itself, the only serious threat to Greenland is Russia. But Greenland is part of Denmark, and Denmark is a member of NATO. Thus a Russian attack on Greenland would entail a response by NATO, which includes the United States and Canada. Thus, in terms of Greenland’s security from Russia, nothing would be added by transferring it from Danish to American possession. Moreover, the fact that America already has a military presence in Greenland indicates that American geopolitical interests are secure there under the current arrangement.
Second, Greenland is said to be rich in natural resources: rare earth minerals, oil, and gas. The US has an interest in securing these resources to reduce dependency upon other countries, especially China, which currently dominates the market for rare earth minerals. US acquisition of Greenland would secure these resources.
This argument smacks of nineteenth-century colonialism. Does the US government really intend to open mines or drill for oil and gas in Greenland? Of course not. Private companies would do that. Many of the same companies operate in both the United States and Denmark. Whether a company is Danish or American is largely a fiction anyway, since shareholders come from all over the planet. Americans would end up paying the market price for Greenland’s resources, no matter what jurisdiction the island is under. Beyond that, Denmark isn’t hostile to the US, at least not yet. So there’s no reason to think they would not trade with us. Thus there is no compelling economic case for the US to acquire Greenland.
These arguments, however, may be moot, because political leaders in Greenland and Denmark have consistently maintained that Greenland is not for sale. Of course, Trump has not ruled out economic and military measures to take Greenland. Emmanuel Macron, however, has already criticized the idea of the US meddling with the EU’s sovereign borders. If Trump presses the matter, he risks alienating Denmark and other European nations, perhaps to the point of destroying NATO. Indeed, that may be Trump’s intention, in which case, Europe would get far more out of the deal than the US.
The Canada Question
Trump’s rationale for annexing Canada is equally specious.
Apparently the US has a “trade deficit” with Canada, which means that Americans buy more from Canada than Canadians buy from the US. This simply means that Canada has US dollars that it does not spend in the US but in other parts of the world.
But would this relationship even change if Canada became part of the United States? Would the rest of the US buy less oil or grain from the former Canada? Would the former Canada buy more American cars? Is a “trade deficit” even a thing? If a trade deficit with Canada is an issue, then Trump could simply slap tariffs on Canadian exports to the US, to raise their prices and lower their amounts. Indeed, he has already made such threats.
Trump’s most ludicrous complaint about Canada is that its border is too porous to drugs and immigrants. Compared to Mexico’s border, for instance? Doesn’t the US already have some control of its border with Canada? And if Canada is full of drugs and bad people, wouldn’t annexing Canada annex all its drugs and bad people as well? (If this is a good argument for annexing Canada, it is an even better argument for annexing Mexico. More on that later. Indeed, if this argument is good, then the worse the neighbor, the stronger the case for annexing it.)
As for American national security, again, the only serious threat to Canada, aside from the US, is Russia. But Canada, like Denmark, is part of NATO, which also contains the US. Because of NATO, US and Canadian security interests are already aligned. US annexation would do nothing to change that.
Sadly, large numbers of goofy Americans and rootless Canadians were excited by Trump’s boasts. Americans find it flattering to believe that everyone wants to become American. Canadian conservatives envy America’s First and Second Amendments.
Americans who welcome union are too vain to consider that annexing Canada might make America more like Canada, which they don’t want. America isn’t magical. It doesn’t make everything better. It can’t even heal itself. It isn’t immune to the sickness of Canada. In fact, America already has the exact same disease.
Canadians who welcome union are too short-sighted to recognize that the US is one election cycle away from being just as woke as Canada.
Sadly, neither side seems to be aware that Canada consists of two nations, (Anglo) Canada and Quebec, that are different from the United States, and should wish to remain that way.
Both Canada and the United States have pretty much the same problems: white cultural and demographic decline exacerbated by mass non-white immigration. All of these problems, moreover, are caused and sustained by the same sorts of traitorous liberal and capitalist elites.
Saving both countries will be an uphill battle. Unity would put all our eggs in one basket, which would reduce the chances of white people ending up with a homeland in North America. Indeed, from a White Nationalist point of view, our chances are helped by breaking up both America and Canada, not unifying them into some sort of superstate.
Fortunately, most Canadians do not take Trump’s proposals seriously. They are generally regarded as empty bluster to negotiate a more favorable trade relationship with Canada. But when the incoming leader of superpower merely jokes around, that can still have real political consequences in smaller countries. The mere threat of American tariffs, as well as Justin’s Trudeau’s weak behavior in front of Trump, certainly contributed to his resignation as prime minister. For that, at least, Trump deserves thanks.

CC has knocked the ball out of the park with today’s articles. Just beautiful: timely and timeless.
Yes! All of the content today alone is worth the price of admission. Still no Jim Goad though?
Trump is just hot air. The honeymoon will be over by January 21, 2025. WN & maga should be governing USA, however, both of these have no power. Trump was elected thanks to maga only to be backstabbed by Trump for choosing cheap labor, (H1B) over maga. Trump needs to be shamed relentlessly for his betrayal for the rest of his life. We will never let him forget his betrayal. A lesson for any future so-called leader of USA. We have no choice but to unite as one solid immovable voting block (we’re still the majority) & take power. This means regardless who sits in the White House, our agenda is implemented. Btw, isn’t that how AIPAC operates, regardless who is in the White House it’s always pro-Israel?
It truly is shocking witnessing all those White People watching sports – we will lose our homeland if we don’t wakeup. The clock is ticking.
Peace will not break out in the middle east under the present bipartisan policy and any violence quenched will be temporary for a greater future build up both in the middle east and very possible here. BRICS is far from cowed and only growing with members, and economic threats may only embellish that growth. The military “trump” card has become less influential. As for world opinion, that speaks for itself if we look beyond our 4 channel main media and the overwhelming UN votes.
The analogy to Augustus is quite similar, I agree. A similar analogy comparing Trump to Augustus, (or Caesar, Bonaparte, Marcus Aurelius or any other intelligent dictator) is too far fetched for any reasonable mind to comprehend or accept. As I once said those comparing him to Mussolini by calling him a fascist — is only an insult to fascism.
As for Greenland and Canada, it is the mineral resources we are after in the GL, and the water resources now becoming important for us in Canada (and as always oil drilling rights). Panama speaks for itself. Forced colonization was always a grab for what fueled our industrial revolution, and now our comfort level.
He clearly has won the election and unlike the past, no one has contested this. Despite his alarming threats already taken, before having taken office, I would still blame him for nothing, and lower any criticism against him, because he is just a man. The real threat I envision is the massive grass roots following that has shaped his future, and our future reality. We may have an old constitution and freedom of choice (within set 2 party boundaries), all we need now — is mental ability. And, to how many groups and party’s can we apply the “present” definition of “woke”?
Once again have to wonder if, or how deep Trump is in Russia’s pocket. America’s president expressing expansionist ambitions legitimizes any other world leader with similar goals. Gee, who could that be?
Yes, we will discuss that in part 2.
Good point—I thought that myself, but of course I thought more in terms of annexation of territory in Syria and Gaza, rather than Russian collusion fantasies. And if you heard the specific wording of the announcement, there was the implication that the Greenland could be military in nature. But of course, maybe it’s a trilateral thing, all the great powers are agreeing that this is the time for this.
Great article. I believe General David Petraeus and other imperialists have been burning up the speech and lecture circuit since the early aughts advocating for a new America that comprises PostCanada(Punjabistan)-PostAmerica(BioleninMassistan)-Mexico(Mexico) into a single state. This idea is not without longstanding and extremely powerful advocates.
In support of your warning about absorbing post-Canada, this guy has a Canadian’s take on it: https://www.anarchonomicon.com/p/yes-ethnic-replacement-is-this-bad
From Obama coming out of nowhere sponsored by Rahm Emmanuel and based in post-Illinois (Pritzkerville) to Trump totally hamstrung by The Regime, to the Biden facade there hasn’t been an executive elected by the people who has really governed for quite some time. Even Bush II was stage managed. Formal recognition is growing closer by the day as you have been saying for some time. Always great quality of thinking and writing here.
I lived in Canada for 17 years. Their history has made them who they are and they are not us. As well, they have serious regional tensions which predate all the disastrous racial tension caused by the Third World invaders.
All the power rests in Ontario and Quebec, where 65% of the population lives, 26M out of 40M. Under their parliamentary system (no electoral college and no functional senate), this means that the eastern maritime and the western prairie provinces are in a permanent state of vassalage to them and chronically unhappy. The prairie provinces of Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan are generally more pro-American in spirit because of that but a huge chunk of Canadian identity is “not-American.”
I voted for Trump with low expectations; the alternative was, of course, unthinkable. His recent outbursts about Canada, Greenland, etc. surprised even me. The idea of annexing them is completely ludicrous. When he gets into that mode, he is far less like Augustus than like Nero, fiddling around while his city burns.
You make very good points. The used car salesman, and blowhard Trump is simply running his game with these latest verbal diarrhea outbursts. Canadians have enough problems to deal with, and joining ZOGmerica would lead to ‘Murica dumping their blacks and browns into Canada and polluting their towns and cities with even more bio-mass terrorist garbage. Beyond a few misled, northern MAGATURD imbeciles, most Canadians do not want anything to do with the cursed ZOG Golem freak show to the south.
Thanks for this informative comment (and your others here). I do have one nit to pick: the lack of an electoral college is irrelevant; Canada has no electoral college simply because it has a parliamentary system, which a superior form of representative democracy, pioneered by the British (hence the name) and implemented by every other democracy in the world (other than Liberia, which goes to explain why).
The American electoral college is like a parliament that votes just once, on one issue, electing the head of government; in a parliamentary system, the party (or coalition) with the most seats elects the head of government. This prevents a “divided government” situation, which Americans like because they confuse it with “separation of powers” or think “the best government is that which governs least” and other sophisms that really amount to frustrating the will of the people.
Of course, any system can be gamed, and the Austrians, for example, have found a way to have the president refuse to allow the “far Right” to create a government, while in Romania the Supreme Court simply cancelled the results. Somewhere Carl Schmitt is smiling.
Under either system, a Western province would have as much, or as little, say as New Hampshire or Alaska.
Speaking of Alaska, fun Canadian fact: from 1957 to 1987, the tiny population of Yukon was represented by Erik Nielsen, who acquired considerable power during his long tenue, including becoming leader of the opposition and deputy Prime Minister; more importantly, he was the elder brother of Leslie Nielsen, of Airplane! and The Naked Gun fame, which in turn formed the sinister premise of the film The Canadian Conspiracy.
I agree about Trump needing to talk less. He really has a great opportunity to get things done this time around. Besides the amount of votes he got, there are a lot of people who would normally be against Trump who will support him or at least not oppose him due to the complete shit show the last 4 years has been. They have been put off by the huge influx in illegals who are overrunning their towns/cities, their schools, healthcare, crime etc. They want a return to some sort of normalcy.
In the opinion of many Americans Donald Trump has already been elected president three times and inaugurated once. Someone who was elected for the first time might not be able to to what Trump is doing even if the formal president was a nullity like the senile husk of Joe Biden.
That bears on how Donald Trump is doing what he is doing. As to the un-wisdom of it Greg Johnson is on the mark.
Okay, let’s take a time out here. This has very little to do with Trump actually empire-building.
It actually has to do with Trump being able to throw bones at the corporate mass-media and keep them busy with B.S., which was not something that he had mastered in his first term, and is one reason why he was unable to get very much done in the din of his first.
No, Trump is not really trying to annex Mehico. That would be stupid for obvious reasons; they are an alien race and that is why it was not seriously considered in the 1844-1854 period.
Texas left Spanish/Mexican control because of Anglo demographic change and agitation.
But contrary to what they teach in the history books, the Mexican land “West of the Pecos” annexed (and paid for) by the United States was virtually empty demographically save for some scattered Injuns and urban areas previously incorporated by the Spanish like Los Angeles (1781), Santa Fe (1610), Albuquerque (1706) and Tucson (1775).
The point is that it’s still about building the Southern Wall and correcting the rest of immigration law ─ ultimately racially ─ and if the (((news media))) is blathering about other things, that is not necessarily a bad thing. Let them pretend that we are living in a Charlie Chaplin movie.
In any case, 99 percent of ruling is about soft power. You don’t want to have to resort to “off with their heads” every time there is a dust-up. Or, as President Nixon once (correctly) put it, “the President can bomb anyone he likes.”
Yeah, Trump has not even been sworn in yet, and there isn’t a purser following him to the can with a magic box that contains the launch codes. That Trump is going into his second term and already literally has Heads of State and supplicants on bended knee coming to Mar-a-Lago, that is actually a good sign, and does not mean that the Constitution is in tatters.
As far as Canada, almost all of the country lives within a hundred miles of the U.S. border. Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal would be promlematical to assimilate politically and otherwise. And incorporating Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia would be like getting another People’s Republic of California. But if two Senators each were given to new states Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, that would balance things out a bit.
Just something to consider for the future, but Canadian balkanization might not be a bad thing.
Also, if the U.S, were ultimately able to control its own borders and had decent immigration laws, then the ability to enforce or somehow to impose a 1924-style of immigration policy on British Columbia and Ontario would be beneficial before our Northern neighbor becomes fully Asian and Muslim. Northern regime-change, even if not an actual U.S. annexation, could become essential to our welfare if they don’t change their current path.
I don’t see any way that a Mexican border wall will never become an absolute necessity for demographic reasons.Build it and build it good!
As it is, our parsimonious ancestors should have ponied up all of the full compensation requested by Generalissimo Lopez de Santa Anna, which would have included an outlet to the Pacific in the Gulf of California. Not even having control of the mouth of the Colorado River makes no sense. Some of our tight-fisted Whig politicians were not very forward-thinking here.
Regarding Greenland, I agree with the points made. Iceland is where the weather systems in Europe form, which is why the Nazis in WWII stationed troops there after Denmark was occupied when the Allies started mining neutral harbors and were preparing to occupy Norway. When the Americans invaded Iceland later in the war, the Germans had to send clandestine U-Boats with meteorology teams to get the necessary weather forecasting data.
During the Cold War, control of the area was essential to monitor Soviet naval access and nuclear-missile submarines.
The end of the Cold War and the use of modern satellite imagery makes the control of Greenland and Iceland less important ─ and as was mentioned in the article, they are effectively already part of NATO.
Again, the annexation kerfuffle is manufactured news. Hopefully Trump will still be able to play the long game when actually in office and get things done. If he is doing things right, then Mexico’s High Jewess will remain angry and trolled. Trump needs to be the one throwing the bones, not the one chasing the bones.
🙂
I’m more inclined to give away some existing territories than to acquire new ones. How about independence for Puerto Rico and Hawaii?
How about liberating US cities from foreign occupation by the alien invasion?
Agreed. Stay tuned for part 2.
I’ve been advocating for national independence for Puerto Rico and Hawaii (but not Alaska, a more complicated case) my whole life. But the biggest prize would be expelling CA from the Union. More than any other measure, that would instantly make the remainder America more white and more conservative (ie, more civilized).
Alaska is majority white. The natives are contained. I see no reason to be rid of it.
I agree with all of this post (or almost all; I’m not sure how to think about the Panama Canal, though I’m old enough to remember being PO’d when Carter gave it away). Trump should be relentlessly focused right now on preparing the country for his massive crackdown on the illegal alien invasion. He has one of the rarest opportunities ever afforded to a single man: to be able to change the course of history for his people decisively for the better. It is absolutely possible for Trump to oversee the rapid expulsion of 30+ million illegal aliens (which might still leave 5-10 million hyper-embedded ones whose attritional removal will take much more time), as well as to secure funding and legislation for building the Great Wall of America.
Trump’s political capital is not close to unlimited; it will prove to be very limited. The Democrats will be their own wall of monolithic opposition, at least wrt the invasion. Many Republicans in Congress remain wedded to the “cheap labor lobby”, as is much of Conservatism Inc (though the latter is being relentlessly routed thanks in considerable part to prowhite dissidents). New crises, similar to Covid and the recent overseas wars, can be expected to arise and to call for Trump’s time and oversight. He must strike while “all the stars are aligned”, and thus his “mind-wandering” about Greenland, etc, shows his fundamental indiscipline and unseriousness. Alas, he’s what brung us to the Oval Office shindig, so we’re stuck dancing with him for now. MAGA and prowhites must just be louder than anyone else in keeping Trump’s focus on the border and allied issues.
I agree that Trump has to focus on what is essential ─ and that seems not to come natural to him. But part of it is knowing how to troll the opposition to keep them forever flailing, and he seems to be better at that than anyone has ever been going into his second term. Reagan was good handling the press but completely lost the script in his second term.
I forgot to mention the Panama Canal in my screed above. Yeah, President Carter never should have given it away. But today it is hopelessly outdated, vulnerable to pinprick attack, and the large American aircraft carriers can’t even fit in the locks.
So unless somebody is going to widen the ditch and dig it down to sea level, it is not worth the bother. I don’t think a re-annexation is a serious proposal and would not be unless Panama was angling for some foreign aid.
Yeah, opposing the “cheap labor lobby” is probably where we should focus.
🙂
When a domestic recipe blows up in a politician’s face, he will often pivot towards foreign policy to divert public attention from the egg white dripping off his nose.
After the H1-B back-stabbing blew up their domestic MAGA base, both Musk and Trump immediately changed the subject to grandiose force projection outside America’s borders.
Overseas, Musk proposed the overthrow of the (recently elected but already hated) Liberal government of Great Britain.
Sticking closer to home, Trump modestly announced that he merely wants to annex most of the northern half of the Western Hemisphere.
Under no circumstances do Trump and Musk want their supporters protesting about H1-B Indians taking jobs away from young White male grads in the STEM sector; instead, Trump and Musk want their MAGA people mindlessly chanting: USA! USA! USA!
Rather than say ‘Canada consists of two nations, (Anglo) Canada and Quebec’ you might more cogently put it ‘Canada consists of two founding European cultures, British (Anglo, Scottish) and French (Norman, Breton), the latter having its main political power in the Province of Quebec;’ or even employ the more historically savvy ‘two nations, the British Commonwealth Metaphorical Canada and the constitutionally protected Original Canada’.
But there really are two European-derived nations in Canada: Canadians and Quebecois. They really should have their own homelands.
As my Anglo-Canadian mother maintained for years, “If we’d been allowed to vote for Quebec’s independence, it would have sailed through years ago.”
Now would be a good time for Quebec to pull the trigger on calling a Quebec independence referendum.
The Liberals have a two month leadership race while parliament is prorogued. Upon recall, a negative vote of confidence has been promised by the fourth and minority supporting party.
The federal Bloc Quebecois and provincial Parti Quebecois are currently riding high in the polls. Their support mirrors the heavy disapproval of the Liberals, until recently the main federalist option in that province. A referendum call would divert attention to the future of Quebec, away from the federal Liberal race, diminishing the chances of their opponents of restitution. Even if the Quebec independence proponents lost a referendum, they would probably poll well following a federal election as PP will have to do some slashing of spending as the annual deficit is $60B+, but nobody really knows.
The Quebec ruling party, Coalition avenir Quebec l’Equipe is riding low in the polls, so perhaps the Quebec “prime minister” might call a referensum. That party is the heir to a previous then-small quasi-nationalist conservative party that threw its support to independence last time round in 1995.
Yes, two, both officially ‘founding’; as i say above, ‘two nations, the British Commonwealth Metaphorical Canada and the constitutionally protected Original Canada.’
The problem is simply nomenclature: ‘Quebec’ to mean an area –i.e. not only its fortress government seat– has existed only since the British conquest; and even then it was retired 1841-67. Quebec the area is not a nation, let alone one that founded any kind of Canada.
The province as we have it now is the home of just over half of Canada’s French-heritage citizens. They form the majority ethnic group there, but the indépendantistes among them comprise a only a slight majority of that majority at the best of times. The fairly new term ‘Québécois’ is a device to elicit a quasi-patriotism toward the modern province; it cannot be a racial term. A million people with no French heritage live there, while millions of French-Canadians do not.
You have an ‘Anglo’ parent ? She could as far as that term goes be Scottish or irish; and as of the last century Khazarian too like Cohen, Richler, Shatner, and these days even Maghrebi or Sub-saharan or South or East Asian. She and her friends may well wish a good riddance to our Confederation’s perennial squabbling, but a Quexit will not erase the fact of Canada’s founding French population. (Nor will life improve for the 17 or 18 % of Québécois who are not of French heritage).
I like to say that Trump’s leadership style is “Talk loudly and carry a small stick.”
That’s not a penis joke. Not intentionally anyway.
It means he always blusters and then fails to leverage government power to back up his tough talk.
This ends up a net negative because his talk riles our mutual enemies who have no problem retaliating with institutional power of their own.
This time round, he was pretty entertaining until a few days ago, if a bit tawdry. His attendance of the UFC 309 at Madison Square Gardens is edging close to Roman empire Colosseum games, no? Are we at bread and circuses now?
onlyfans and the nfl are their bread and circuses. And the former is the top donor to aipac.
Well, well, say it isn’t so! I always knew those guys were the Devil:
https://rainbowalbrecht.wordpress.com/2021/01/20/onlyfans-is-an-evil-satanic-plot-to-destroy-the-world/
The more riled our enemies get the better because their mask slips and they make big mistakes.
Anyway, Trump has not even been inaugurated yet so all of this talk is only trolling.
When Trump takes office, can he be more disciplined and get some things done? Oh boy. One can hope but my expectations are not the highest.
In the long Winter of 1932-33, before President-elect FDR had been sworn in ─ Presidents were inaugurated in the Spring (March 4th, 1933) in those days ─ the Hyde Park plutocrat was asked what he was doing about the Depression, the signature issue that he had campaigned on:
“Not My Baby,” Roosevelt curtly replied.
To shorten the lame-duck period, the Constitution was amended, and in 1937 the inauguration was first held on January 20th.
🙂
He doesn’t need to troll. He doesn’t need to campaign. But he’s good at them. He enjoys them. So he’s indulging himself.
What he needs to do is govern. Which he is not good at, and all this buffoonery leads me to think that he won’t be any better at it this time around.
Never has so much depended on such a flawed character.
