Spoken like a true rapist: Trump posts that "everyone agrees" regarding his hostile takeover plan for Greenland [View all]

Trump has gone on an insane posting spree that covered everything from leaking private messages to issuing further takeover threats against U.S. allies.

In a flurry of unhinged messages on Truth Social, the 79-year-old president continued his dangerous rhetoric about the U.S. seizing Greenland while also sharing apparent text messages from French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO chief Mark Rutte, as well as calling for his political opponents to be jailed.

Trump, who is travelling to Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum, began the overnight posting spree by saying he had a “very good” phone call with Rutte regarding his demands for the U.S. to take over Greenland—a threat that has led to calls to remove the president from office using the 25th Amendment.

“I agreed to a meeting of the various parties in Davos, Switzerland. As I expressed to everyone, very plainly, Greenland is imperative for National and World Security. There can be no going back—On that, everyone agrees,” Trump wrote, despite world leaders and the American public outright rejecting the idea that Trump should try to take control of the autonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark.
