Photo: Mark Wilson/Getty Images “Numb to Trump” op-eds have become their own micro-genre in the past few years, but every so often a day will come along in which a string of jaw-dropping comments will slap the desensitized awake. Wednesday, with its bounty of unhinged quotes, was one of those days, beginning before dawn, with a 4:34 a.m.
From that measured start, Trump moved on to his other high-profile spat of the week, as he sparred with the entire country of Denmark. After reports emerged that the president in 2019 wanted to buy the autonomous island of Greenland from the Danes, the country’s politicians called the president “rude,” “a spoiled child,” and “smug and disrespectful.” Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, said the idea was “absurd.
What else? In that same press scrum on the White House lawn, Trump said he is looking “very seriously” into an executive order to end birthright citizenship, which was established by the 14th Amendment and passed in 1868 in order to secure citizenship for former slaves. And adding to his delusion of grandeur in Israel, Trump called himself “the chosen one” when it came to balancing the China trade relationship by thrusting the U.S. into a trade war without an endgame.
As if his reputation in the European Union needed any further damage, Trump threatened to “release” captured ISIS fighters from the continent in their respective countries if “Europe doesn’t take them.” It was the second time this month Trump had proposed that ultimatum: On August 2, he told reporters, “We have 2,500 ISIS fighters that we want Europe to take,” and, if they were not received, “we’ll probably have to release them to Europe.
And just to ensure a dystopian twinge to the day, Trump said he has instructed the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to “go out and buy a lot of” a “stimulant” that he believes will help reduce the startling rate of vet suicides. The drug is essentially just nasal-spray ketamine, which was recently approved by the FDA as an antidepressant.
Yep he was chosen in 2016
😳 my disbelief of this kinda fakenews is making me think about fakenudes ... where's larryFLYNT ? ... where's margiephelps ? ...
This would be a chuckle if it were anyone else. This megalomaniac truly believes himself. Scary times, scary times for democracy.
Oh, for the love of....
Good grief, love him or hate him, the video clearly shows Trump was joking. People need to relax, chill out.
