    When my kids were little, they wanted random shit too. We just waited for them fo latch onto something else.

    People analyze what Trump says way too much. Let him spew BS and wait until it passes.

    Everything he does is a distraction from what is really going on elsewhere in the government, the systematic destruction of our rights through the judicial and legislative branches.

      Trump has no idea why he wants Greenland. Someone close to him is feeding him ideas, while feeding his ego.

      Greenland is set to become an economic producer in the future, but we have maybe a century before that even starts. I gotta think you’re right, Greenland is a distraction from all the other bullshit. Keep them talking and no one will notice the really evil shit

        Greenland is because Putin wants to destabilize both the EU and NATO. He wants the US to lose its allies.

        Panama is because Russian ships aren’t allowed through, and Outin wants that to change.

    The President is very much a figurehead - he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it.
