Trump’s in Davos giving a demented speech, threatening war over Greenland, which he keeps confusing with Iceland. Good times.

I just watched 10 seconds of that and bailed. "I talked to Emmanuel, he said no no no. I said you will or I'll tariff everything you sell us". I didn't even want context, it was just same old garbage.

That's not a slip up, that's open encouragement for the separatist traitors who should be hanging from the border posts at Coutts, not organizing separation with the help of the UCP government.

Traitors should be dealt with the old fashioned way.

Didn't watch any of Trump's stupid speech, but CBC did a quick recap.

- He won't use force to acquire Greenland, but still needs to have it and wants to enter negotiations immediately.

-Was frequently confusing Greenland with Iceland.

-The 2020 election was stolen.

-His proposed "Golden Dome" missile defence system will also protect Canada, saying that Canada "gets a lot of freebies" and that Carney should be more grateful.

-Says the U.S. has been treated unfairly by NATO and that they've "never gotten anything from NATO", completely forgetting that NATO came to America's aid when the U.S. invoked Article 5 after 9/11.

-Talking about Greenlanders: "They love me. They call me daddy."

Carney. I mean c’mon Trump is just so easy. Just stroke his ego and get whatever you want. Plus Trump didn’t understand a word Carney said. Mark, you need to stick to one syllable words!

This was a pretty big slip up. The entire conversation is about Greenland, talking to a minister from Greenland, and this dumdum accidentally shifts gears to talk about how the people of Alberta want to leave Canada and join America.

I doubt Andy Ogles knew what Alberta was a year ago and now it is a talking point he dropped out of his face while trying to convince an official in Greenland that he knows the will of her people better than she does.

That must mean that the republicans are prepping their party for interviews about Alberta too.

as far as I can see, Epsteins buddy didn't #### on the floor, declare war to Iceland or demand the Oscar for best actor during his speech today. I'm so numb, I almost call it a win at this point.

That's the energy level of a guy that has realized his Greenland dream has been squashed. Ranting on about nonsense for a hour.

Maybe I should know this dufus, but I had to look him up 'William Andrew Ogles IV". Even his name is pretentious. What a clown.

I'd rather he continued to drone on about Greenland than turn his attention to Alberta, for selfish reasons.
