I just found this ...
ABC News (USA) - Trump has tapped an unprecedented 13 billionaires for his administration
18 Dec 2024 headings only:
Here are the Trump administration's wealthiest members and how much they're reportedly worth.
In total, the combined net worth of the wealthiest members of his administration could surpass $460 billion.
Government of the people, by the people, for the people? 😦

kingdragonfly: Trump said he is not joking about Canada as the 51st state.
...
Mr. Trump’s statements propelled his repeated calls for expanding American territory to a new level, one that is bound to roil three American allies — Panama; Denmark, which handles Greenland’s foreign and security affairs; and Canada, which he has mocked as America’s “51st State.” On Tuesday he made clear, though, that he was not joking, suggesting that if Canada remained a sovereign state the financial cost to its trading relationship with the United States could be crushing.
...
Has Donald spoken with King Charles (Canada's Head of State) about what King Charles thinks about losing sovereignty over Canada or was Donald quite happy for a US state to be under British sovereignty or has he really not thought about this?

We are lucky that we are too small and too far away to be the focus of the 'Eye of Sauron'.
Though Peter Thiel may talk to his pal Elon Musk about a small place ideal for survival bunkers.
Somewhere they can start their own ideal civilization.
Just have to clear out a few NPCs.

Emperor Donald trumps King Charles.

The last time a country tried to take some British territory it didn't go so well for the aggressor. Admittedly different circumstances now but I don't see Britain just sitting back and doing nothing.
Sir Kier Starmer is no Margaret Thatcher, in fact he and his governement is seen in some quarters to be weak/ineffective. However Donald's fantasy about incorporating Canada into the USA may well be a God given opportunity for Starmer to prove he and his government are not weak or ineffective by standing up to Trump.

Don't worry. I told him that the mines of Moria with rare earths are in NZ, just as there are hobbits and the one ring.
Pandora's box has been opened again and don't think this spook will be over in 4 years. At least 165 million brain-dead Americans have no idea what they have done to the world. Only cupholders in the car are more important! 😁

The UK wouldn't defend Canada because King Charles, but rather because NATO. Which, incidentally, Denmark is also a member of. Be weird for the USA to be the one that kicks off a war against NATO, but on the other hand, the USA is also the only country so far to have invoked Article 5. So, who the hec knows.

One of the (very few) good things about the orange buffoon is he says/does so may ridiculous/outlandish/downright stupid things, making memes about his is like shooting fish in a barrel.
Here's a couple:
This guy makes a very good point:
This second one is - I think - just a smokescreen:

I want to talk about all of the Trump insanity. I want to talk about his insistence on “taking” Greenland. And the Panama Canal. And making Canada a U.S. state. And renaming the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”
But guess what: Trump wants us to talk about this bs. He’s trying to dominate the news cycle, get attention, and keep the public talking about nonsense instead of the important story. So let’s not do that here?
Instead, let’s talk about Jack Smith’s report. Because Democrats are poised to let Trump win again because they’re still playing by 2015 rules.
He's trying to deflect from Merrick Garland releasing Jack Smith's report by banging on about this "I want to take over Greenland/Canada/the Panama Canal" nonsense so everyone talks about that instead of the report. Hey, if the report had only good stuff in it, why would he be trying to so hard to get it blocked or move the news cycle onto something else? 🤔
Don Jr. gave an interview to Newsmax on his return about how everyone he'd talked to had been happy to be freed from the Danish oppression, and Greenlanders were looking forward to becoming part of the US:
Anything you hear to the contrary from anyone claiming to be a Greenlander is fake news.

Don Jr does realize that's snow, made from water, and not cocaine, right? Or was that the reason he left so quickly.
He attended one luncheon outside the US military base, and tellingly spent much of his time on a phone call with Daddy while he was there.
No one has released any information to the press about who attended the event except saying it was "local residents"
No, he flew to Greenland on a mission in front of the world in order to buy a few Inuits a few strong maga drinks, who then signed the country over to his father on a napkin in a diner.
So everything is clear with Greenland - only the officials of the country haven't realised it yet. 😁
