That’s not all he doesn’t know:
Edit to add: this is real, this is not a joke.
Without Eisenhower pushing up D-Day after Stalingrad and the Russians chasing the Germans to Berlin, the German language would have been outlawed by the Soviet Union.
The Russians still had a million regulars on their border. I don’t know if Stalin wanted more than all of Germany, yet accepted half of it.
The A-bomb changed everything. Yet if the USA had sat on its ass, and not even developed a workable bomb (thus the UK and Russian spies would have been clueless). Heisenberg, who had split the atom, thought massive amounts of Uranium and/or Plutonium would be needed. Yet the press to develop it, and who got their first, just means who wins the war.
Languages die. And Russian was taught in the Baltics, yet right now, non-ethnic Russians in Lithuania, for instance, never really made Russian their first language and damn sure aren’t using it commonly now.
Yet I can’t parse trump’s comments. They were common when I was growing up, then became silly when I learned history beyond High School. A “little” Japanese?
So, let me try to parse his little mind: The USA does nothing, including sending some materiel (mainly trucks) to northern Russia, Germany wins, they crush the UK and next the USA where they would impose German on everyone.
How Japan does anything but crush China and if they could wipe out English by taking All of Australia, do we need a little Japanese to call Sydney?
All I hope is he got lustily and long-lasting boos.
Trump has been spoiled in many ways. One of them is how he was spoiled by Republicans into thinking that bullshitting oeople was something he was good at.
He’s trying it with the rest of the world, but the rest of the world has no reason to play along like Republicans in this country do.
I don’t understand why media, other members from other countries at Darvos think anything he says is worth anything. On Greenland: ““People thought I would use force. I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force,” Trump said.”
I translate this as “I won’t use force, I’ll INVADE with troops, but I won’t use force.”
He insults Switzerland, the place he’s standing in: “…he enacted a 39% tariff on goods coming from Switzerland, among the highest rates charged. “All hell broke loose. They were calling, I mean, like you wouldn’t believe,” Trump said. “Then I realized that they’re only good because of us.”
Trump said he would’ve enacted even higher rates but “Switzerland would have been probably destroyed, financially destroyed.” Ultimately, following months of negotiations, Trump lowered rates to 15%, the same rate charged on products from the European Union.”
“Later, during a bilateral meeting with the president of the Swiss confederation, Trump praised the country and called it a great place.”

I know a little German…
He’s sitting over there.
When the proverbial 800 pound gorilla behaves erratically, any overt, aggressive reactions should be carefully considered.
The Somalis also contain potassium benzoate.
Can I go now?
“They say, ‘He’s a horrible dictator-type person.’ I’m a dictator. Sometimes you need a dictator.”
The cheese keeps slipping off the cracker and showing the cracker is actually a moldy turd.
“Excuse me, stewardess. I speak tyrant.”
From Xitter:
‘During his @wef remarks, President Trump appeared to mix up Greenland and Iceland around three times.’ - Libbey Dean
‘No he didn’t, Libby. His written remarks referred to Greenland as a “piece of ice” because that’s what it is. You’re the only one mixing anything up here.’ - Karoline Leavitt
Now that Trump has publicly stated that he wanted to call the “Gulf of Mexico” the “Gulf of Trump”, how long do you think it will be until he does that?
All of his sycophants will automatically tell him that’s a great idea. World leaders catering to his ego to grease their own requests will maybe tell him that. Trumps ego alone will tell him repeatedly throughout the day it’s a great idea. And as we know, it’s just a simple executive order to make it happen.
My prediction, he’ll rename it to the GoT before July 4th
Nitpick:*
It was the German chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann who achieved fission and physicists Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch who figured out what was happening in 1938.
Heisenberg came up with his “massive amounts of U-235 needed for fission” at a conference held by the German Army Weapons Office in 1942.
*This is the Dope, after all.
Be careful with that. Your brain might freeze that way.
Tomorrow’s headline:
Trump and NATO agree on US acquisition of Graceland
Trump is the ultimate online weakling. Talks a big game on socials, but once face-to-face with actual people, he folds like the shit-stained cheap suit he wears like a uniform.
No wonder he’s the hero of incels and basement dwellers everywhere.
“The senile Orc-King rambles incessantly in the Black Speech.”
Small world. I literally spoke to the prosecutor assigned to this case today. We had just worked out a plea on a tough sex crime case last week, and she told me in court this morning “Do you know I have a January 6er next?”
You all should know that she’d be right at home on these boards. So at least we have an honest lawyer pursuing this case.
Johnny, please tell me this is satire or a joke, anything but real.
Could be as early as tonight.
That’s kind of what I meant. He’s pissed that HE, President of the World, has to fly in a piece of crap plane when he should have the world’s greatest plane in the history of planes. I imagine we will be hearing about that when he gets back.
