Between the Devil and the Deep blue Sea : By Jove, Predator Trump wants to grab Greenland too
Cornelius Hamelberg
If he’s an underdog
then lo and behold
prepare for another
A true leader after most people's heart
Carney obliterates it : Carney's Davos Speech
Coterminous with Trump
long ago and far away
Peter Tosh voicing enemy wishes
You can’t imagine how much ill-will
and poisonous bad feeling Trump
is causing and has generated
in Scandinavia, the EU, the UK and
the rest of The world of Civilised Humanity
because of this : Trump doubles down on Greenland
His argument boils down to “Might is right” -
take note and wise up : in this vale of tears
might equals economic clout (tariffs)
AND MILITARY POWER.
So, what are you gonna do about it?
What can you do about it?
Big Youth
Big tooth
Big wig
Big stick
“the greatest military the world has ever seen”
Whopping big presidential dick-making whoopee
(he likes that)
quick trick
no time to waste
like that fellow ignoramus
who wanted Hillel the Elder
to explain the whole of the Torah
to him, whilst he was standing on one leg
It’s the kleptomaniac’s wishful thinking and to that end
he was already baptised or rather Americanised
the Gulf of Mexico, renaming it “The Gulf America “
This is Trump’s great big dream :
https://www.google.com/search?q=The+US+flag+over+the+whole+of+the+US%2C+Canada+and+Greenland&
And , if we’re we’re not careful , next thing we will hear him announcing ( hollering) from the Oval Office in The White House : “I wanna to grab Nigeria - I’ve got to to grab Nigeria”, and in the majestic plural, “We must grab Nigeria - we’ve got to grab them because they can’t defend themselves from the terrorists” - - no mention of oil, no mention of human capital and other natural resources, and as a rationale, he will be chirping like Baby Bush - his fellow Republican : “ You’re either with us or you’re with the terrorists ! “ - and by “us”, of course the MAGA-maniac Trump means the US - in the name of “AMERICA FIRST !”
Here’s Brer Trump babbling on about Greenland
https://www.facebook.com/reel/1189709983278630
and BTW, when he starts babbling that just because
somebody on a boat landed in Greenland some 500
years ago doesn't mean that they own that country
On a more humorous note Trump reminds me
Jerome K. Jerome ‘s Three Men in a Boat by more
seriously he unfailingly reminds me of these three 
Malcolm X : We didn't land on Plymouth Rock , the rock was landed on us
Burning Spear : Christopher Columbus // Burning Spear - Christopher Columbus
Marcus Garvey poetry : The Tragedy of White Injustice
Field Marshall Donald J Trump the wannabe Emperor who never did any military service and who despised war hero John McCain for being caught and made a prisoner of war : “I like people who weren't captured. “
Anti-climax : I just listened to Trump's maiden address at DAVOS 2026
I thank monotheism’s one and only omniscient & omnipotent Almighty
that Trump was ruled out RAPE - the use of overwhelming force in wanting to grab Greenland. But what remains troubling is the possibility of a referendum in Greenland in which some heavy financial rewards - an inducement of sorts , say $ 300,000 per head as - another “ an offer you can't refuse” could be offered the 57, 000 population and if the majority nodded “ yes”, that could be another feather in Trump’s ”The Art of The Deal “
But. hopefully, this simply just wont work: Check this out : https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTvQl_rjH5E/?igsh=NWkxMmV1aWk1c2lu

Who can trust the mercurial Trump who says one thing this moment and is capable of changing his mind completely a few minutes later ?
This morning (Central European time ) the latest intelligence was that because of the kinds of plans he was announcing about the future of Greenland, the Senate was threatening to remove him from office by invoking Amendment 25
Moments later, Trump must have buckled, probably sweating ( perspiring) under the weight of that threat and by this afternoon, DAVOS time, the good news was that he had completely repented on the matters of tariffs and the use of military force in Greenland if necessary…

You want to understand and appreciate Trump ? Cheers!
I bet he doesn’t even know where Nigeria is.
This would upset him greatly) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUPhs8LO-H0
The impulsive, extempore Trump -the opposite of phlegmatic - has his think tanks, but he’s the boss, the wannabe Emperor of the United States, Canada, and the other territories he wants to acquire, incorporate in order to make America “great”…

Dr. Oohay,
Isn’t “The Art of the Deal” a little exaggerated and out of date?
I haven’t read it. Have you?
Is or was Trump that great a businessman ?
Of course, everybody has his or her target audience : https://www.realclearpolitics.com/
As for those who may be mistakenly feeling in a super superior mode or mood when “correcting” Trump’s so called “ infelicities" of grammar, or his folksy Americanisms with which they and the late great Patrick White may be less familiar, or downgrading his native intelligence, the same Trump who as a good host complimented Liberia’s president on his beautiful English, I would like to kindly remind us all that at the beginning of his bid for the White House in 2016, there were eleven other contenders in the Republican primaries and that Donald Trump swept the floor with all of them, and that at the Presidential debates he completely annihilated Lyin’ Hillary, no ordinary feat, as he would have definitely done with either the inchoate Sleepy Joe Biden or Kamala Harris the last time around.
For those of us who are not privileged to be members of Trump’s inner circles, what could our sources of information be, speak less of being privy to Trump’s inner mental and other processes that he goes through from one billionth of a second to the next - processes whereby he arrives at his spontaneous albeit sometimes evanescent decisions ?
This morning I heard Fouad Youcefi suggesting a possible ongoing tug -of-war between various factions of Trump’s contending advisers…
Here's room for second thoughts about Greenland : The real size of Greenland
Trump is perpetually on the move trying to fashion this kind of reality -.as his legacy for posterity, as in one of Shakespeare’s sonnets,the one that begins,
“Not marble nor the gilded monuments Of princes shall outlive this powerful rhyme”
He would like his Greenland deal to last forever in defiance of the second law of thermodynamics ( which I first came across in Bertrand Russell’s ” Why I’m not a Christian"
As Chris Cuomo puts it “He’s skating on thin ice “
Just imagine what three more years of Trump could be like ! By the time he's finally going to pasture or retirement (if ever), he should be a very rich man indeed. He has already sued the BBC for £5 Billion …It’s now breaking news thatDonald Trump is suing JPMorgan for $5bn over debanking allegations - no sweat, just another cool 5 Billion

or Yahoo
or whatever
your real name is
supposed to be
so you choose to go
incognito?
Why?
Of what are you afraid?
You and your cryptic remarks - if only you would speak plainly!
You sit out there in cyberspace, presumptuously, and under the
umbrella of a pseudonymous Dr So and So, you start pontificating
and pooh-poohing, with you great big bold capital letters wanting to
“correct” everybody with some of your unsolicited advice
I can bet my last dollar that for a surety
you are not a Native American
or a Pal, a Palestinian
My certainty is based
on what you said here
about Edward Said.
a good illustration of
you read Orientalism
and that’s all you could
lament.
I understand that you’re holed up somewhere in the UnIted States of America
and are anxious to broadcast to your host countrymen and to assure them that
your are that sorry kind of specimen that Senator Joseph McCarthy
of the infamous McCarthy Era and perhaps J.Edgar Hoover too would have been proud of
So, how do you relate to this statement : “You can't have capitalism without racism”
Mind you, I’m not a “Marxist” - I still haven’t read and don’t intend to read Das Kapital
I suppose that your beef is really with people like Angela Davis, Slavoj Žižek .and
The Communist Party of China ,those three should be able to give you a good runaround
for your money ,and I suppose, also at your native home turf, the folks known as
The Communist Party of Nigeria.
When it comes to Wokeism ,I’d leave you to the tender mercies of Biko ,I’m sure that he can take care of business and should be able to straighten you out, nicely…
N.B. Even as a non-Marxist I found Arnold Kettle useful ….
From which alien or non-alien source have you got your outlandish, really preposterous conviction without any foundation whatsoever, that I am an AI client - or that “A!” is my source of information / opinion / ideas? Before there was any “ AI” I had read books, tons of them , including all of George Orwell and very much of W.H. Auden -.and there’s also the world of real people, some of them, not so powerful.
Please show me where I’m or have been “outsourcing
Once upon a time, the Librarian at the Synagogue library could confirm that I wouldn’t have any problem with e.g. Baruch Spinoza's mistakes about the transcendent. - unfortunately he never met Moshe Chaim Luzzatto or trucked with Iranian Sufism

Stockholm, Sweden. Early spring,1972. We lived at Pokalvagen 3, Reimersholme and I had an unforgettable experience when I visited my wife's dentist a Dr. Värnhed, at Långholmsgatan. He had his electric drill buzzing like a buzzsaw, and requested that I open my mouth, which I did. He then raised the drill on high and asked in an almost threatening manner, “Are you a communist?"
