Trump calls the Danish PM a "nasty" woman for publicly stating that his proposed purchase of Greenland was "absurd."

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49423968

The BBC points out that Trump didn't just want Greenland for it's minerals, but also for it's strategic value.

The US has long seen the island, which sits along a direct route from Europe to North America, as being strategically important. It established the Thule air force and radar base there at the start of the Cold War, which now covers space surveillance and forms the northernmost part of the US ballistic missile early warning system.

Meanwhile, new Arctic sea routes are opening up as climate change continues to accelerate the melting of ice in the region.

Also, China had previously announced plans to build airports in the country.

The U.S. successfully test fired a mid-range cruise missile, capable of carrying a nuclear armament, off of the coast of California.

The Pentagon says it has tested a U.S. missile that exceeds limits set down by the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, a Cold War agreement between Washington and Moscow that was officially scrapped less than three weeks ago.

In Sunday's test off the coast of California, a modified Navy Tomahawk cruise missile flew more than 310 miles (500 kilometers). It marks a first for the U.S. since the arms-control treaty signed by President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1987.

The Pentagon's announcement on Monday said the missile was fired from a ground mobile launcher on San Nicolas Island, Calif., and "accurately impacted its target after more than 500 kilometers of flight."

So ICE can snatch up some brown people for no other reason than being brown and hold them indefinitely.

WTF?

[Tarage]

This is why I worry about what's going to happen when he's a lame duck. All the "If you do this you won't be re-elected" stuff is gonna go away and we'll see a man who gives no fucks doing whatever he wants.

[Dimmauk]

Trump already knows he is a lame duck and is in full shit on everything mode.

Yes, he offered $100M in gold and an Alaskan oil field. Instead they came to an agreement for a base on the island.

Don't count on that. He is in a world of his own making and his sizable chunk of supporters like that kind of world.

I'm interested if there will be some sort of follow up; to be honest one of the worst things people opposed to Trump can do is fabricate stories.

I'm not saying that's what happened here though, as these types of situations have already been recorded.

[Lokus]

When shit like this happens:

...there's no need to make shit up. Unfortunate that people do but clout chasing infects both sides.

The sheriff’s office explained that they had a policy of detaining all Latinx people for immigration review.

They're just straight up admitting to their racist policies now...

They're just straight up admitting to their racist policies now...

Why wouldn't they? They are obviously safe or at least comfortable enough to come out in the open at this point.

The best part about all of this is no one is saying shit about all those American companies that spent decades maximizing their profits by shipping production overseas, despite knowing up front that part of the requirement for using that cheap labor was sharing the secret sauce with China. No, it's all China's fault! Now shut up and pay the price of our trade war consumer monkeys because this has to happen.

Lol, what an idiot. Trump is going to own the recession he is asking for.

At least he will always have his supporters.

Dow immediately dropped 600 points on the news. Now after close Trump is declaring he's going to increase tariffs on China from 25% to 30%.

[Melena]

Because increasing tariff's worked so well the first time around.
