Who does Trump think he is?

[Rogue AI]

Annexing Canada and Greenland is simply common sense. Neither is capable of defending themselves and we will not allow them to fall into anyone else's hands. We already pay the lion's share to defend them, time to gain the benefits from that.

When you hear the term "leader of the Free World" repeated all the time, do you think people are suggesting he reigns over these other nations?

Stop trying to create a narrative.

In the past when I heard that phrase, it didn't bother me as much, but I never liked it.

Maybe it was just the way you worded it ("President of the Free World") but for some reason it didn't sound like it was being used in the way it has been used in the past.

And the fact that 9 people gave it a positive reaction is truly disturbing to me. But then, I look at things differently than most on the right here do. I look at the big picture of where I believe things are going.

The phrase had been “leader of the free world.”

He is the President of our republic. But the rest of the free world didn’t get a vote as to his leadership.

Nevertheless, he is still effectively the leader of the FREE world.

And it doesn’t matter how that rubs you or anyone else. ‘Tis what it is.

He the one kicking you in the face while you're the one wondering "Ow, ow, fuck, ouch! How many feet does this guy have?"

Trumps not kicking me in the face. He's kicking us American tax payers in the fact. His supporters in the face. His words and actions are getting very similar to things Hitler said and did.
FYI, I'm not saying he's going to use military force to take over all these countries. And commit anything near the atrocities that Hitler did.
I'm talking about he sovereignty of these countries that he's not respecting. We expect them to respect ours and we should respect theirs. Period. End of story.

If the trade deals are bad and their borders aren't secure, that's our fault.
FYI, Trump didn't secure the borders last time. And it was his trade deal with Canada.

Yes, I know what the phrase has been, and what it has meant. And of course the rest of the world didn't get a vote, no need to state the obvious.

This is a very unpopular opinion on USMB, but I disagree that the president of the US is the most powerful person in the world. I've been saying for years that presidents are just puppets, or spokespersons, and the real powers are unelected and out of the spotlight.

But the fact that so many here seem to like the idea of the US being an Empire, that acts as the world's policeman, and takes over other countries, is disturbing to me, and truly disappointing.

You are probably thinking of the Democrats who get billions of $$ in 'support' from George Soros and many other elite, Marxist lefties. You are correct, POTUS is a 'puppet' for America and We The People. He is supposed to do what we want. Everything Trump laid on the table during his campaign he is doing right now as a mandate from US.

Why not? You didn’t seem to mind.

You’re free to harbor your own view. Nobody cares.

Really? You’ve been saying that, eh? I said it of our last President. But, there we had some evidence.

That’s not the view of most people. In fact, many of my fellow conservatives reject that “policeman of the world” shit. We don’t care to be an “empire,” either. And we aren’t taking over any countries.

So all in all, your post holds little value other than posturing and virtue signaling.
Silly and simplistic, but untethered from reality.

I don't buy the "White hats vs Black hats" false paradigm that the powers-that-shouldn't-be have kept the public stuck in. And I hate to keep repeating myself, but as I've stated on other threads, I believe we have a one party system masquerading as two. Of course if you only look at what is said, they appear to be on opposing sides. But when you look the bigger picture and the final results, we're always going in the same direction, regardless of who is in office. And I've said before on other threads, I don't believe that Trump is the savior or the real deal, but in a few years from now, we'll see who was right.

I would like that to be true, but based on some of the comments I've seen, I'm not so sure. I've seen people excited about acquiring Greenland, Canada, Gaza, etc. And continuing the same foreign policy we've had, regardless of who is in office. We're trillions in debt and there are so many unresolved issues here in the US, but some folks are losing sight of America first and seem to like the idea of an expanding empire. But I'm getting tired of this discussion, so that's all I'm gonna say about that for now.

You are correct, in a sense, about a one party system That party is the humongous Federal bureaucracy. We just saw a small glimpse into this with the unveiling of USAID. Trump has vowed to go after the politically ensconced who create and administer program after program with nice sounding names that do nothing but take our tax dollars to pay for their expensive lifestyles.

That being said, our country does have to have a structure to run things but it should be lean and mean instead of fat and bloated.

There can be no 'America first' when folks like the Democrats always put US last. To them a war in Gaza is much more important to maintain just like the war in Ukraine. Biden set the stage when he pulled the military out of Afghanistan leaving our people there with no protection and leaving billions in American arms there.

BTW no one is talking about invading Greenland, Canada or Gaza. Chill out.

I didn't say invading. I said acquiring. And I really hope that was just hot air on his part and not a true goal.

Well, to 'acquire,' one must have an agreement. IMO, Trump wants to expand our military footprint in Greenland and floating the acquisition of Greenland as the start of negotiation. It's pretty transparent and since the U.S. is the biggest economic 'beast' Greenland doesn't have much choice but to negotiate a good lucrative deal for them and US. Trump is not threatening to take over Greenland and 'bust it out' like Putin does.

That's the official reason, yes. You're not going to like me saying this, but I just don't trust what has been said, I think IF he really is serious about it, its happening for other reasons.

I've posted my thoughts on it many times, as you can see here in this post, it looks too much to me like the North American Technate, which is a long-standing goal of the Technocrats. And it's also very much like the NAU (North American Union) which some of us remember has been a long-standing globalist goal, and a step toward the NWO.

Like this tweet says, if it was Obama or Biden who wanted to merge with Canada and Greenland, conservatives would (correctly) view it as a globalist move. But because Trump is so loved and trusted, many folks are going along with something they otherwise wouldn't.

Yes, reasons stated that some reason that you think might be there.
