Trump’s threats to Denmark mark the end of the relatively peaceful world enjoyed since the Cold War’s end. The damage to the US’s international presence and domestic economy will prevent it from leading the free world regardless of the next election’s outcome. Our only hope lies in a rapid expansion of European influence on the global stage. Stopping Trump now is unlikely to alter the course this administration has set for the world.

Entirely agreed.

Some recent polls suggest that only around 16% of Europe regards us as an ally anymore, and only around 25% of the United Kingdom.

The damage this man has done in under one year will take decades to fix, if it can be fixed at all.

You’re assuming there will be a next election.

I don’t think that’s what the fascists are planning.

You are correct. They are totally out of control. The election is so critical! He will create anything to stop it.

critical

My complete thoughts on how the Trump administration is establishing an Orwellian world order reminiscent of 1984:

Let's hope they finally do this time. I really dont know how they would react vis a vis Greenland or the mid terms.

Little hope of that from the MAGA/GQP/WCN Extremist Cult republican lickspittles and bootlickers in congress.

The damage to the reputation of the USA is already done. Alliances have been ruptured. Canada is under economic attack. We are permanently shifting trade patterns and routes. We are developing new markets anywhere and everywhere else.

If this was the first time, we would be disappointed and preparing for a reset and renewal. Since this is the second coming of the orange false messiah, we will not look back. The USA is no longer trustworthy. It is not a reliable trade partner. It is certainly not a safe country to visit. Expect few if any of us to visit for the World Cup, the Olympics, or a winter vacation. We will support warm allied nations like Mexico, Cuba, and Jamaica.

Absolutely correct. We are headed toward a total collapse and civil war .

The orange stain on our country feels all powerful after the Roberts Court gave him immunity. The lower courts don't agree. We must rely on the 23 States Attorneys to rein this lawless president in until the mid terms . The sooner we make him a lame duck the better. The next Democratic Congress & President will have a large uphill battle to regain any prestige on the world stage again.

I disagree in part. The next President will have a huge mess to clean up. Those considering running should meet secretly, with a clear and concise plan in hand, with our ALLIES as quickly as possible. if chosen carefully will definitely have began the process to reunite with our ALLIES. Our Allies are watching who is here and considering. We The People need to decide from those considering and back them. We cannot be wishy washy on our decisions.

The sad reality is that US voters can no longer be trusted by our one-time allies because the electoral college voted for this despicable clod twice. And I highly doubt that any revelations, no matter how decadent, that are found in the Epstein Files will move the magas' minds because Trump is a mirror of themselves. The magas' victory over the libs will be lived out as a Pyrrhic one at best.

Greenland is economic suicide. It is leading to a sell off of US Treasury Bills. The US is now politically unstable and uninvestible due to what is happening in Minneapolis and NATO relations. Our allies are moving closer to China. Our only hope is in the total removal of the Trump regime and bringing the traitors to justice.

My thoughts exactly. We are going to have to show the world that we take the damage done to this country by trump and his minions very seriously. We do that by making sure every one of them is held accountable. We show them that the good people in this country are now paying attention and will not fall asleep at the wheel again. It's going to take a lot to gain the trust back after the catastrophe we call the trump administration. In the history books this era will forever be referred to as BT (Before Trump) and AT (After Trump). Hopefully, 2029 will be known as the year of our Lord 2029 AT.

🇨🇦 Has Trump moved on from the Republican Party? He has his nazi generals around him and his billionaires to fund him.

Mr. Mockler, you're pretty far out over your skis. Be careful! While I personally hope you have a point, we've been here before! And we've been disappointed before! If this is truly the beginning of the end, it can't happen fast enough! Trump as president is not only an unmitigated disaster everywhere you look, but he is dangerous!

Carmen Patricia Tumak's avatar

You are stupid if you think Stump gives a damn about being impeached. It is yesterday's legal "tool" and only greedy lawyers actually bank on it. Is that the best the world's former super power can do to eliminate this piece of excrement?

Carmen Patricia Tumak's avatar

It's your loser country!!!! VOTE, VOTE, VOTE! PROTEST, FOOLS. Do you expect the world to save you from your stupidity?!

Stop the BS247's avatar

How quickly you anger from citizens who are fighting for you in Ukraine. Citizens who continue to give hope to Ukraine. Citizens who do VOTE,. who do PROTEST, who do WRITE, attend TOWN HALLS, and who are ON the PHONE constantly. Begging your pardon, we are NOT STUPID! If you have nothing positive to say then say nothing at all, but DO NOT STAND THERE AND CALL US STUPID. We hate what is going on as much as you do! For both countries UKRAINE AND THE USA.

Impeaching the douche-nugget would be great IF that impeachment actually comes with any real consequences. His last two impeachments did squat. Honestly, you can hardly even "tell" he was ever impeached because nothing much really happened; action is needed, not just words.

Thanks for your excellent reporting, Adam, your words are always something I look forward to.

Exactly...we need MORE than just a verdict...there MUST BE ACCOUNTABILITY...ACTUAL CONCEQUENCE(S)...😳sorry...got a little passionate...🤩🔥🥰🌊✊🏻

100%. And no apologies needed for being passionate, being passionate is a good thing.👍

I stand in total unbelief that the intelligent Republicans are not standing up to trump’s authoritarian maneuvers. It seems he is edging closer and closer to making himself a demigod or more Putin-like everyday. He literally hates everyone who does not totally agree with his demonic mind and maneuvers and judges them as barbaric idiots. This man has to be impeached and the sooner the better.

It seems as tho you're the only one with any good news of any sort today...🥰🥰🥰

"JD Vance is out here claiming the War Powers Act is fake. He’s arguing that the president can just go to war without Congress approving it." This is treason.

I just want him to drop dead 🙏

They will never hold him accountable

They are permanently coerced

What’s in those files

It’s worse than you could ever imagine

Trump’s reasoning for taking Greenland for national security purposes is laughable. He needs to “own” Greenland so that he has total access to their oil and other natural resources. It’s all about money & power; it always has been.
