U.S. President Donald Trump appears to have set his eyes on Greenland again while venting frustration at NATO, as the diplomatic fallout from Iran war exposes rifts in Washington’s ties with the security alliance.

In a Truth Social post Wednesday evening stateside, Trump said that “NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON’T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN. REMEMBER GREENLAND, THAT BIG, POORLY RUN, PIECE OF ICE!!!”

[…]

Trump has taken aim at NATO and Greenland in recent days. “It all began with, if you want to know the truth, Greenland,” Trump told reporters at a White House press conference Monday. “We want Greenland. They don’t want to give it to us. And I said, ‘bye, bye.’”

    I hope the world knows he’s insane and the Republican party is going to try and stop the midterm elections so they don’t face repercussions for letting him run wild.

      We all know he’s insane and is going to attempt to rig future elections. There isn’t anything the world can do about that, though. Trump is America’s problem to solve.

    NATO is a defensive force.

    It’s like being mad at the police when they don’t back you up when you go and kill some people.

    Donvict Trumpepstein again demonstrating how he doesn’t understand how NATO works and then passing along that misinformed view as propaganda to his ignorant MAGA base. He lost to Iran and now he wants to lose to NATO too. Not America First. This is Russia First. Agent Krasnov makes Putin smile. Worst prez ever!

    Orangeman didn’t learn. NATO now knows the effectiveness of low cost strategic actions to bring a superpower to its knees. This is the rantings of a nihilist lunatic. I mourn for our country. We didn’t even make it to our 250 birthday.
