Well, what do you know. I’ve tried doing exactly that before, and it’s never worked for me. Although, it didn’t cue to the 11 second point, which was in the URL. ---

So I bought my Tesla today. Elon knew I wanted the red so I got the red. Paid by American check \*holds up enlarged check “Payable to Tesla” with insane signature. I drove it a bit, Obama or Clinton said President’s can’t drive so I’ll be making an Executive Order today that let’s me drive it. Elon’s already put the train air-horn on it and the huge, rolling-coal smokestack that makes the Tesla twice as good at the efficient than regular, and lets it go underwater. Can you imagine that - a Tesla underwater? It won’t be long till we have Teslas on Mars. American Teslas with American flags. Elon is the best - as good as anyone in my cabinet - or almost as good as JD and Marcos. America is on the rise, and TRUMP-ness is just starting to take hold. ---

From the Gizmodo artiicle: > You have two billionaires standing outside the White House promoting their wares like it’s a used car lot. Trump has never been a billionaire and if he is on paper now it’s because he’s read Putin’s Art of Oligarchy and Stealing From Your Country, Putin was a poor ex-spy in 1990 who still hadn’t gone bankrupt five times (by then - Trump had two more) and did not seem to get rich till his fellow Oligarch’s had bought more than half of the real estate in London. As the song goes, “Only the good die young” and Pootie-poot will be the first triillionaire before he’s done. > The U.S. is little more than a punchline around the world Is there a joke? The USA is considered a highly dangerous country - far worse than Russia or China. _brtitish accent_ But the plane, it was still too 'evvy! So the American, he stands up and shouts “Remember the Alamo!” and shoves the Mexican out! Soon a joke like that will cease to be funny. There is palpable hatred of the USA building. It may not matter as the USA is too giant a military for Europe sans China to take on. ---

Well, there will be a joke, of sorts. If/when Trump addresses the United Nations, and speaks about annexing Canada, Greenland, and Panama; he’ll have over 200 delegates laughing at him, like they did last time. That’s the funny part. The not-so-funny-part is that Trump will get angry, and slap tariffs on everyone and everything. ---

Even funnier—the UN Security Council (minus the US, as you indicated) pre-emptively sends peacekeepers into Canada, Greenland, and Panama. Yeah, I can dream too. ---

Did he not already do Panama? Or just the canal? And I’ve noted the malevolence in his eyes when, after saying the USA will support Greenland in free and fair elections, when he said out loud, something like “Whatever happens we’re taking it”. Canada then will be the last stand. The Poland, if you will, of WWIII. It won’t be Taiwan or if Putin runs a sham election in Ukraine and huh, they somehow elect a puppet not unlike Lukashenko in Belarus. It’s likely been explained to Trump like he’s a fifth grader that annexing Canada - even if there was no fight - gives a California amount of electoral votes to the Democrats. That’s also assuming there will be elections in 2028. There will be a fight over Canada, even if it’s just the Canadians it will not be easy and there will be hand-wringing in the UN (if it remains open as it’d make a good Trump property) and maybe KCIII and Keir Starmer will denounce it, but there is no military help from the UK or Europe over either Greenland or Canada. Nobody declares war anymore, want to declare war against Trump’s USA?
