Trump issues insane new invasion announcement - Another Day - Brian Tyler Cohen

[TexasTowelie]

BTC: Donald Trump continues to fulfill his America first promise by trying to rule every other country. This is just another day.

If you're anything like me, then you probably have that habit of starting another project before you've even finished the one before it. I guess if you're also like me, then you lie awake at night frozen with fear, haunted by the paralyzing thoughts of your own mortality. But that's a video for another time. But back to that whole projects thing, it is a common pattern that most people have, but usually it doesn't involve things this big.

CBS News Chicago Host: With the future of how Venezuela will be run still unclear, the White House is already setting its sight on a potential new target, Greenland.

BTC: Sure, why not? As a man obsessed with islands {image of Trump and Epstein displayed} and places covered in ice {image of Police ICE uniform displayed}, that seems to track. Yes, after consulting with his closest oil executives and seemingly using an Etch A Sketch to craft his extensive plan for overthrowing Venezuela and plunging their government into chaos, Donald Trump's decided to move on to a whole other project. What could go wrong?

ABC News Guest: You know, a US takeover of Greenland by force against the will of Denmark would be tantamount to an invasion of a NATO member. It would easily be the biggest crisis in the alliance's history.

BTC: Oh, right. Greenland is a NATO ally and you heard the man. This would easily be the biggest crisis in NATO history. The only thing that even comes close was that time Bulgaria got caught smoking meth. So the president wants to upend international law, jeopardize our national security, and extinguish any moral high ground our nation has built over decades. But not to worry.

Trump: The people of Greenland would love to become a state of the United States of America.

BTC: Gosh, why does that sentiment sound so familiar?

Dick Cheney: They do believe we will be greeted as liberators.

(cut to studio)
BTC: I guess what they say is true. You don't have to be a Dick to be a dick. Now, before you jump to the completely rational conclusion that Donald Trump is going to try and take Greenland by force, there's actually another option on the table.

Karolyn Leavitt: The US could potentially buy Greenland as one potential option on the table.
WH Reporter: What would such an offer look like? Is there anything monetarily you could provide any details there?
Leavitt: Well, that's something that's currently being actively discussed by the president and his national security team.

BTC: And that must be so reassuring to all those Greenlanders because if there's one guy you can trust to be honest with his cash, it's DJT. {image of “Trump Pays $2 Million to 8 Charities for Misuse of Foundation” displayed}

So maybe this whole feeling that I've got that American troops are about to be sent to storm the beaches of Greenland is completely overblown. Donald Trump is going to write a number down on a napkin, never pay it, and that'll be that.

(cut to video)
Leavitt: All options are always on the table for President Trump as he examines what's in the best interest of the United States. But I will just say that uh the president's first option always has been diplomacy.

(cut to studio)
BTC: Sweet. I've always felt that when you're trying to assuage any fears the American people might have of military intervention in a sovereign country, it's best to point to the president's commitment to diplomacy just a few days after military intervention in a sovereign country. Can someone tell me if we are or are not invading Greenland?

Speaker Mike Johnson: Does that mean we're going to go uh send troops into Greenland and take it over? No. I mean, they only have what 40-50,000 people there. It's not This is not a thing. Okay.

(cut to studio)
BTC: Phew. That's a relief because for a second it kind of felt like a thing. You know, because of that time just a few days ago when old nuclear codes McGee said,

Trump: "We need Greenland."

BTC: But maybe that was just the altitude talking. You know how it is when you have a totally different perspective on a plane. Like in the sky, you think watching Fifty Shades of Gray is a fine idea, but when you land, you realize it's not the greatest movie to watch while sitting next to this guy. But lesson learned and lawsuit settled.

Anyway, as Mike Johnson said, this whole Greenland thing is not a thing. No one's even talking about it.

Johnson: Did Marco say something like that? I think he did. I mean, it was a two over a 2-hour meeting.

(cut to studio)
BTC: What's that now?

(cut to video)
Johnson: And I think he did make a comment, but I think he did it with a smile. He was It was, he was trying--I took that as he was as a joke. He was trying to be humorous about it. Okay.

(cut to studio)
BTC: Yes. And who doesn't love a hilarious we're going to invade Greenland bit from the Secretary of State? After all, he is the funniest member of the Cabinet.

(cut to video)
JD Vance: My personal vote for funniest person outside the president is probably Marco.

(cut to studio)
BTC: Got to give it up for Marco. I mean, first of all, just look at the guy. The laughs are practically oozing out of him. And if you're a fan of his world famous “We're Going to Invade Greenland” routine you got to check out his Grammy award-winning comedy album that's got all the greatest hits like destabilizing Venezuela, revoking visas, cutting jobs at the State Department, slashing budgets at the State Department, pulling back on crucial foreign aid, and it even includes this forgotten gem

Marco Rubio: I will never stop until we keep a con man from taking over the party of Reagan and the and the conservative movement.

(cut to studio)
BTC: I believe the title of that bit is “I'm a valueless hypocrite who will sell my soul for a promotion.”

The most embarrassing part of all of this is the way Republicans are happily twisting themselves into pretzels to portray this as an essential part of Donald Trump's America First strategy.

Maria Bartiromo: Why so intent on Greenland, do you think?
Senator Rick Scott: I think I think because he I mean here here's a president that cares about this country. He is focused on America.

(cut to video)
Mike Johnson: Look, it is an America First priority to look to our strategic and national defense uh initiatives and and what would be advantageous to us. Greenland offers a lot of that. I I mean I've I've mentioned this already. Obviously, the strategic importance of its geographical placement, but also the rare earth minerals that are there and everything else that is directly in line with uh commitments made on the campaign trail by President Trump and and all of us to seek America's interest first.

(cut to studio)
BTC: Yes. And I think that's exactly why Trump's base signed onto his America First strategy. They weren't concerned with having a job or making life more affordable. They knew from day one that it was always about acquiring another country's rare earth minerals. That's why those hats are so popular.

The reality is Donald Trump sold a bill of goods to his voters that they were his top priority and while he may continue to echo that sentiment at speeches, at his rallies, the truth is always in the tweets. Just this morning, as part of Trump's rambling tweet about how he so courageously bullied NATO countries into paying us more money, he said, “Remember, also, I single-handedly ENDED 8 WARS and Norway, a NATO member, foolishly chose not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize, but that doesn't matter.” {Truth Social post displayed}

Yep, doesn't matter. And like most things that don't matter to people, they complain about how much they don't matter all the fucking time. I mean, my god, we are about to start a war with NATO because someone didn't give our president a prize. But hey, thank God we didn't elect an emotional woman as president, or else we could really be in some trouble.

Donald Trump is treating the world like it's his own despotic playground. And if the world doesn't happily heap gifts onto him, he'll just take him by force. Not only do we have a massively insecure dictator sitting in the Oval Office, but backing him up is a feckless political party who cheered on his every move and a Cabinet filled with minions who will follow every one of his orders no matter how detrimental to our nation.
