It’s TACO Time For Greenland After Trump Flops At Davos

[berg80]

If Western Europe wants the US out of NATO, so be it.

It doesn't. If that was your takeaway from trump's Greenland fiasco then you've blinded yourself to reality.

 

[Hafar1014]

Or maybe he is telling the world that we will no tolerate being taken advantage of. If Western Europe wants the US out of NATO, so be it. They will be destroyed in short order. They need the US far more than we need them. That is a fact.

America is the foundation of the worlds democracies at the same time is a threat to advancing socialism in those very same democracies. As Trump strengthens Americas free market we destroy the credibility of European socialism and they cant complete with us. 30% of their budgets is spent on social welfare programs thats not sustainable. Immigration is destroying their culture and renewable energy is destroying their economies. America goes in the opposite direction and we are thriving. This upsets their political power base
It appears we have to save them form themselves again.

 

[Hafar1014]

He went down like a flabby sack of potatoes.

He got everything he wanted Trump wins again and you have no idea

 

[Rawley]

These folks have been indoctrinated not to believe in American exceptionalism, so they don't believe this. I will say, that we are becoming less and less exceptional as the left gets more and more wacky and are allowed to control policy, particularly foreign policy. They are absolutely HORRIBLE at foreign policy because they have no backbone and/or they don't want to see the US succeed.

It is sad to see how much they hate our country.

Tariff tensions cool, but threat had European business leaders talking of retaliating against ‘blackmail’​

Tariff tensions have cooled after Donald Trump went back on threats to impose levies on European countries, but the threat of them had business groups saying that the EU should consider retaliatory measures against his “blackmail.”

The EU has frozen its EU-US trade deal in response to Trump announcing plans to impose 10% tariffs on six EU nations, alongside the U.K. and Norway from Feb. 1 on Saturday. There were calls for the bloc to consider using its anti-coercion instrument (ACI), a set of measures that allow it to impose sweeping trade sanctions, before Trump announced a tariff climbdown on Wednesday evening.

“All EU trade defense instruments — including the Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI) — must now be reviewed,” Volker Treier, chief executive of foreign trade at the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK), which represents nearly 4 million businesses, told CNBC on Wednesday afternoon. He added that the ACI should be a “last resort.”

Trump isn't smarter than a toddler.
Which means he's twice as smart as his cult.

The world and everything in it.

ANYTHING besides his name.

NO one in the world seeks more attention than Trump.

Trump is a rude,crude grifter.
That's how he got rich.

Trump tries to be...........

Just like everything else, Trump ***** up anything he touches.

NOT even close.

He's smarter than you, dumbass. He's the president, and you're a lying, propaganda-pushing
shill on a messageboard for peanuts.
One of you is worth billions of dollars, and it ain't you.

Essentially everything Trump says and does is done so to make himself "feel" strong. Part of that is constantly punching down.

What he clearly doesn't understand is that world macroeconomics are changing. Countries now have other options.

He and the flock want to hide like scared pansies. The world is now beginning to say, okay, go ahead. More of that to come.

 

[SweetTea]

Carney helped to refine the suspicions the world leaders feared for some time. America, for as long as the Orange Menace is in charge, is no longer the lynchpin of the post WW II global order. Worse, it is disrupting it.

God forbid that we ask those childish Western EU countries to be held accountable instead of spending all their money on social welfare programs. That is the jest of their discontent. Essentially, they want to continue eating at fancy restaurants while the US pays the light bill. Dumb, anti-US, pro-Socialist Democrats in the US are all to quick to kowtow.

 

[Nostra]

Trump is MAGA's big "**** you" to everyone they don't like.

Carney's speech was the world's big "**** you" to America.

Great job, MAGA. Your ignorance has made us a global pariah.

Really, Simp?

Since when does a KKKanadian Cuck speak for the world?

 

[Bitterhook]

Scary stuff. We are shaking in our boots.

President Trump walks through the door and says, "Daddy is home, and you don't get any fried chicken until you clean your rooms" then they cry calling him mean and telling him they will burn all their toys and the house down before they clean their rooms.

 

[SweetTea]

Do tell.

Are you looking for genuine discussion, or just confirmation of what you already believe? I think I know the answer.

 

[Nostra]

Here are some excerpts from what I believe will be the seminal speech of our time.

Today, I'll talk about the rupture in the world order, the end of a nice story and the beginning of a brutal reality where geopolitics among the great powers is not subject to any constraints. But I also submit to you that other countries, particularly middle powers like Canada, are not powerless. They have the capacity to build a new order that embodies our values, like respect for human rights, sustainable development, solidarity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of states.
It seems that every day we're reminded that we live in an era of great power rivalry. That the rules-based order is fading. That the strong can do what they can, and the weak must suffer what they must. This aphorism of Thucydides is presented as inevitable — as the natural logic of international relations reasserting itself. And faced with this logic, there is a strong tendency for countries to go along to get along. To accommodate. To avoid trouble. To hope that compliance will buy safety. It won't.

Havel called this "living within a lie." The system's power comes not from its truth but from everyone's willingness to perform as if it were true. And its fragility comes from the same source: when even one person stops performing — when the greengrocer removes his sign — the illusion begins to crack.

Friends, it is time for companies and countries to take their signs down.
But more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons. Tariffs as leverage. Financial infrastructure as coercion. Supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited.

You cannot "live within the lie" of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.

The multilateral institutions on which middle powers have relied — the WTO, the UN, the COP — the very architecture of collective problem solving, are under threat.

Everyone should read that speech in its entirety. It's a masterpiece, cutting through the constant gaslighting of the trump regime and exposing its affect on the world with devastating clarity.

Let me be direct: We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.

One lead by a moral degenerate with a singular goal in mind, unbridled power for himself.

How many pissy pants threads about this Cuck's speech are you clowns gonna post?

Thread 'It’s TACO Time For Greenland After Trump Flops At Davos'

Jan 21, 2026

Wall Street has a term for President Donald Trump’s habit of making loud threats and then backing down: TACO, short for “Trump Always Chickens Out.” And on Wednesday, he did just that.

After delivering a wildly incoherent speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump abruptly caved on his Greenland nonsense—along with the tariffs he threatened to impose on Europe for refusing to bend to his will.

The left and socialists are driven by childish, unrealistic idealism rather than practical thinking.

The beta cuck who just went and sucked Xi's dick is now going to lecture the world on "stability"....

He is an empty suit.

 

[rightwinger]

Thats not what he wanted. Trump uses a strategy called OODALUPE. Simply put it means action always beats reaction so jeep your opponents always reacting to you. Trump uses threats and bombastic statements. They are bluffs bargiing chips.
The OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) is a continuous decision-making model developed by U.S. Air Force Colonel John Boyd, helping individuals and organizations make faster, more effective choices in dynamic environments by cycling through gathering information (Observe), understanding it (Orient), choosing a path (Decide), and executing it (Act). The goal is to "get inside" an opponent's decision cycle by operating at a faster tempo, gaining a competitive advantage through agility and rapid adaptation, a concept applicable to business, sports, and military strategy.

The Four Stages of the OODA Loop

• Observe: Gather information from your surroundings using all senses, noting changes and potential threats.
• • Orient: Analyze and synthesize the observed data, interpreting it through your existing knowledge, biases, and context to form a mental model of the situation.
  • Decide: Formulate a hypothesis or select the best course of action from the possibilities understood during orientation.
  • Act: Execute the chosen decision, putting it into practice.
    View attachment 1209622
    
    
    Key Principles
• Continuous Cycle: It's a loop, not a linear process; actions create new observations, restarting the cycle.
• Tempo: Success comes from cycling through the loop faster than your opponent, creating confusion and seizing the initiative.
• Orientation is Crucial: Boyd considered this the most important stage, as it shapes how you interpret data and make future decisions.
• Adaptability: Mistakes become learning opportunities, feeding back into the loop for refinement.
  

Applications

• Military & Defense: Core to maneuver warfare and joint operations.
• Business: Competitive strategy, market analysis, and rapid response.
• Sports: Outmaneuvering opponents in real-time.
• Personal Development: Improving everyday decision-making and resilience.

So Trump is not responsible for what he says?
The threats, fear mongering, insults, broken alliances

All so he can get some military bases he could have had if he just asked

Its called bargaining by keeping your opponent off balance and reacting while you call the shots and stay one step ahead. Works every time
