    Frederiksen offered closer co-operation with the US on military bases and mineral exploitation on the island, but senior European officials said Trump baulked at the offer, demanding full US control.

    You could get everything without being a colonialist bully! FFS.

      I was hoping it would say someone finally told Trump, “Bitch, get back in your place because no one is putting up with your shit.” Imagine my disappointment at the reasonable attempt to lower tensions and appease.

        Serious politicians (and I use that term loosely) are not used to dealing with someone as utterly demented as trump on a daily basis. They’re used to long boring meetings and talking politely behind each others backs. Not … this.

        People had a hard time understanding Hitler at first, too, and he wrote a fucking book about what he was about to do before he actually went and did it.

        Trump is head of state of the most powerful country in the world, with a Supreme Court that seems willing to crown him king, and he’s psychologically unstable. You can’t tell a man like that to fuck off.
        Thanks, Americans, for putting us all in this situation.
