Can you imagine the President of the United States of America writing the following to the prime minister of another country?
“Dear Jonas:
Considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for
having stopped 8 wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of
Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is
good and proper for the United States of America…
President DJT”
This was written on January 18. “Jonas” is Jonas Gahr Støre, Prime Minister of Norway. And of course, DJT needs no introduction—also known, rather fittingly, as TACO.
Trump blames Norway for “not giving” him the Nobel Peace Prize, claims he “stopped 8 wars PLUS,” and announces that he no longer feels obliged to “think purely of Peace.” This idiot does not even know— or chooses not to know—that the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by an independent committee, not by the Norwegian government.
His message to Støre goes on:
“Denmark
cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of
ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents—it’s only that a boat landed
there hundreds of years ago. But we had boats landing there also.
I have
done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now NATO
should do something for the United States.
The world
is not secure unless we have complete and total control of Greenland.
Thank
you!”
Støre replied calmly, stressing that Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and that Norway fully supports Danish sovereignty over the island. Norway does not claim Greenland, nor has it ever done so.
(Apparently, Støre and Finland’s President Alexander Stubb had already reached out to Trump to lower tensions and even proposed a three-way call—before Trump linked the Nobel Prize to Greenland policy.)
In our Oriental culture, such behaviour would be described plainly: infantile.
A Podcast That Nailed Trump Perfectly
“Every single sentence uttered from his little
slimy mouth was either something he came up with on the spot or a lie that was
still stuck in the part of his brain that hasn’t atrophied yet.
Every time you assume this man has finally reached
the absolute bottom of human intelligence, he arrives with a shovel and a smile
saying, ‘No, I can go lower.’
As his dementia progresses and the pressure from
the Epstein case builds, Trump keeps unlocking new tiers of verbal incoherence.
You almost—almost—have to admire him.
We’re watching a geriatric patient wandering
through a geopolitical hallucination on stage, in front of the whole world,
making assertions so profoundly detached from reality that it would take a
child mere seconds to fact-check and debunk.
And yet tens of millions of Americans look at this
synaptic meltdown—this confused, sweating elderly man shouting at the
clouds—and think: ‘This is the best thing that could have happened to our
country.’
This man is the peak of evolution—if we believed in
evolution.
Give him the nuclear codes.
To the Americans who haven’t yet lost their sanity,
I am so sorry. I hope with every fibre of my being that your democracy survives
this madman. If it doesn’t, we are all f**ked.”
Brutal. Accurate.
Trump at Davos: Fantasy Economics Meets Delusion
“…our economy is booming. Growth is exploding,
productivity is surging, investment is soaring, incomes are rising, inflation
has been defeated, and the United States is experiencing the fastest and most
dramatic economic turnaround in history.”
He continued:
“Over the past three months, core inflation has
been just 1.6%, and fourth-quarter growth is projected at 5.4%. Since the
election, the stock market has hit 52 all-time highs, adding trillions to
retirement accounts.”
He claimed $18 trillion—soon $20 trillion—of investment commitments, declared the U.S. the “economic engine of the planet,” and sneered that Europe is ‘not heading in the right direction’ due to failed ideas on migration, spending, and trade.
He boasted of tariffs, slashed deficits, soaring energy output, surging steel production, Venezuelan oil deals, falling gasoline prices, and a nuclear renaissance with “safe and competitive” reactors.
On Greenland (and Finland… somehow)
“It’s hard to call it land—it’s a big piece of
ice—but it plays a strategic role in world protection… After World War II, we
returned Greenland to Denmark; now we are asking for it back. I will not use
force, but I want it for world defense.”
This alone should qualify as a case study in historical ignorance.
He then claimed NATO members now pay 5% of GDP (they do not), while repeating his favourite line:
“We defend you; you didn’t pay.”
Trump claimed tariffs cut the U.S. trade deficit by 77%, promised drug prices would fall by up to 90%, and accused Europe of freeloading.
Without naming him, Trump also took clear aim at Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, criticising U.S. security partners who allow Chinese EVs and industrial goods into their markets.
Carney’s recent China visit resulted in a deal reducing Canada’s 100% tariff on Chinese EVs to around 6.1%, allowing up to 49,000 Chinese EVs annually, in exchange for China lowering tariffs on Canadian exports like canola and food products.
Carney called it an opportunity for Canada’s auto sector and a step toward diversified trade.
But Sinophobia runs deep in Caucasian blood.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford attacked the deal as reckless, claiming it endangered Canadian jobs—and even implied Chinese EVs might pose cybersecurity risks. Evidence? None.
The U.S. Walks Away from the World
The U.S. is withdrawing from 66 international organisations, including 31 UN-affiliated bodies—among them UNFCCC, UN Women, and UNFPA—as well as 35 non-UN organisations such as IPCC, IRENA, and the International Solar Alliance.
The U.S.
has also re-withdrawn from the Paris Climate Agreement and is exiting UNESCO
again.
Trump believes America can stand alone. His sycophants cheer wildly.
Absolutely delusional.
Europe Looks East
Keir Starmer has also effectively “bought his ticket to Beijing.”
He has cleared China’s proposal to build a new embassy in London – originally submitted in 2018. Although cleared by UK authorities and intelligence agencies, the project has sparked protests. Human-rights activists, diaspora groups, and British politicians alike oppose it. From politicians, it is pure hypocrisy. They are not ignorant. They are simply against China.
Trump’s Trump Riviera Project Turned Board of Peace…
He has
invited most country leaders – even Russian and Chinese – to join. Countries
can become permanent members by committing USD1 billion contribution or join
for a fixed term without that contribution. Ironically, there is no Palestinian
representation.
Several
of the key NATO countries are spurning him. They are NOT joining.
Initially
touted as the Board of Peace for Gaza, it is being morphed into a platform for
world peace, soon he will call it the New United Nations, with him as the life-long
President.
Many of the
political midgets and jesters have signed up, but I bet you, he will run out of
steam and allow it to drift, after collecting some good billions for his son-in-law
to throw.
Jimmy Lai was central to Hong Kong’s 2019–20 unrest, funding political campaigns and sanctions advocacy abroad. I know his CIA and MI5/MI6 connection. (His aide Mark Simon had deep U.S. political connections.)
We are told there is “no credible evidence” of CIA involvement.
Do you buy that?
Hong Kong
paid dearly—billions in damage, destroyed infrastructure, ruined livelihoods,
and lost lives. Yet Europe sanctions Hong Kong over Lai.
History repeats.
Remember in Indonesia, 1965–66, hundreds of thousands—perhaps over a million—were slaughtered after a failed coup. The U.S. Embassy and CIA provided lists of alleged communists and support to Suharto’s forces.
As Vincent Bevins documents in The Jakarta Method, this became a blueprint for U.S.-backed purges worldwide.
Conclusion
Much—though
not all—of Europe has awakened to the reality that Trump has deserted them.
They can no longer rely on someone who demands protection money like a
gangster.
Talk is already emerging of a neo-NATO without the U.S., possibly including Japan, Korea, and Australia. The U.S. military-industrial complex may lose billions of easy profit, and the dollar’s dominance may erode.
Internally, Trump is turning the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement into a Gestapo-like outfit. The country is imploding!
The
sooner the world sees through Trump, the sooner we may celebrate the birth of a
real Peace Board.
End
Trump's wagon is on fire. He is getting more bizarre by the day.
ReplyDeleteThe Supreme Court may reverse his tariffs which means Bessent will have to pay back all those 'trillions' collected. Without tariffs, Japan, South Korea and Europe may back out on their promises to invest 'billions' on US soil. However, his Navarro, Miller and Lutnick will find a way around using other legal provisions. Thus it will be extrajudicial. Not that most other ploys so far aren't.
Meanwhile the data show his tariffs are not bringing back manufacturing jobs. Except for steel which costs hit construction and thus housing and financing, most low-wage jobs are tanking while grocery rises are sticky and inventories have piled.
In the land with the most nobel laureates in economics, the unstoppable force of resilience is meeting the immovable rock of reality.
And people are getting jittery over AI which has kicked in a K-economy; oligarchs make, hoi-polloi struggle and, as the two legs widen, imbalance topples.
And then there are the files. His fawning over Israel, intelligence minder of Murdoch and Epstein, Palantir and Meta and Oracle and Microsoft and Alphabet, has returned to bite. Unless the US DOJ is still searching for the right AI tool to unredact incriminating photos, exactly how long does it take for his Bondi to release them? Waiting for the anger over the Minneapolis executions to first blow over?
The acts of diversion is from the playbook of politicians caught redhanded. Thus Syria, Venezuela, Zambia, Iran and Greenland not to forget his Gaza Riviera's Board of 'Peace' and that after supplying Netanyahu with enough bombs to make even the Laotians wonder exactly how depraved is US gutlessness. The latest Ukraine move is also busted. Zelensky ends up blasting his European minders.
For one who says he goes by only his own morality, lives lost in those places seem to redefine negatively in quantitative terms that virtue.
And in trying to articulate his sole objective is to champion America's interest, he has done grave disservice to America by association with his lamentable lack of statesmanship for that matter any smallest molecule of decency.
Which comes to Canada's Carney. Those was one time not long ago when Canada acted big towards Asians. Like a tail wagging its dog. Fine that it would talk about human rights. But in the context of emerging countries trying to re-emerge after being scammed by white colonization, where was its humane right?
Its reps would talk down Asians who came out wondering why that big country with few people would act like it was trying to be more american than its neighbour.
Today, it gets its comeuppance. Yet in complaining about Carney's paltry 2% by numbers import of China's EVs into Canada's market, a complaint buoyed by Trump's threat to hit Canada with 100% tariffs if Ottawa signs a free-trade deal with China, it again shows that white sinophobia cannot hide behind incongruous trade excuses.
And now Carney talks about a third path - principles and reality. He was however too chicken to say China fits both bills.
Note that the UK China Research Group of conservatives parliamentarians who were vociferously anti-China have receded into the Thames sewers near Westminster.
Exactly what's wrong with these descendants of the Opium warmongers, the looters of the Summer Palace and India, Iraqi treasuries, the genociders of the North American natives, Filipino freedom fighters and Palestinian natives, the betrayers of the Cossacks, Bosnians and Kurks, the perfiders against Africa, Indonesia, little Hongkong even?
For fear of contracting trumpinitis, better to stop here then. There's no cure for imbecilic infantilism and craven greed.
