Why do people such as Trump make threats? I did a Google search and found this:

"People make threats primarily to control, manipulate, or intimidate others by creating fear, often stemming from deep-seated issues like insecurity, anger, a sense of powerlessness, or emotional pain, even if they don't intend to act on them. Threatening behavior serves to force compliance, leverage guilt, or gain attention when individuals lack healthier tools for influence, leading to harmful power dynamics in relationships or situations."

The absurdity is that Donald's still around to go off his rocker daily with no one stopping him! I just hope our allies, former now, don't let him extort, bankrupt, bully, scare them and us into submission. Look at past behavior; same degenerate threats to former friends. Except epstein. Silence! Keep wondering if malaria is the reason for it.?? Was that in her contact? Prenup? She extorting USA to look innocent? Slovenian slut?

What more do we need to see to understand that Trump and his cronies are evil and corrupt. Nothing less. They are truly the worst of the worst.

When are the R’s ever going to have enough? This utter asshole is an embarrassment on the world stage with his lunacy about the Nobel and the link (in his addled mind) between the Nobel and his thirst for owning Greenland. I suppose he has in mind a renaming to Trumpland, along with all assets to be deposited in his name in the bank in Quater. Even worse, he is setting out to get us into the worst trade war of all those he’s instigated yet, this time with our world allies, relations with whom date back for centuries. Worst of all he’s heading to get rid of NATO, the most effective alliance in history. Does he have any thought left in his head? What about that R’s?

Why won't ANYONE stop this "man".

Sharon, this intentional cruelty and use of false restatement of fact runs deep in this Regime which relays on widespread use of lies to cover up their true intentions. Should Donald die, his martyrdom will cover even worse behavior. There are no moral standards.

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE: TRUMP FURIOUS THAT NORWAY REJECTS RE-GIFTING OF NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

We all know the story about how Donald Trump shamed Maria Corina Machado into handing over to him her justly deserved Nobel Peace Prize.

But perhaps the American people are unaware of the unsuccessful efforts that the White House’s Director of Communications, Steven Cheung , personally made to try to induce the Nobel Foundation to change its mind about prohibiting the re-gifting of their awards.

Having failed in his attempt, and fearing the loss of his job by a vengeful boss, Cheung has set out on a cross-country crusade to induce those who have won honors in the form of awards, medals, ribbons, certificates, prizes, honorariums and other such forms of recognition during their lifetimes to either take them off their walls, scrounge them up from their attics, basements or keepsake albums and formally assign them over to Donald Trump to supplement his collection of re-gifted honors. All of these will be displayed in Trump’s new Trophy Room which will occupy about one-third of the space of the new Donald J. Trump Ballroom that is being annexed to the White House.

Mr. Cheung believes that the President will be especially pleased with those honors which are encrusted with, or at least accented with, gold or the appearance of gold, such as gold stars on 3rd grade math tests, that will blend in with his gold themed ballroom.

Needless to say, the President will be very appreciative to those who have made these contributions and thereby demonstrated their sincere recognition that he deserves these honors as much as, if not more than, they do.

Given the pleasure and honor that those making these re-giftings to the President’s Trophy Room will derive from knowing that their original awards will be on display in the White House annex, they will naturally be expected to annually pay their pro rata share of the expenses of their upkeep.

Aside from Donald Trump himself, there is no one he loves more than those who tangibly display their love and devotion to him. He thanks you all!

Yeah, thank you for your attention to this matter. Script written as always by Scheung, maybe smiller, the Goehring and Goebbels of 21st C America.

Donald invited Putin? Is he really that dumb? The only reason Putin wouldn't take over an organization like that is if he were running it from the shadows.

The Dems have to show up in full force to win the midterms. Dozing Diaper Don knows he's doing shit he shouldn't because he's admitted that if the GOP loses the midterms, the Dems will impeach him. Dems better have Plan A and Plan B in the event there's evidence that the GOP rigged the elections. Same holds true for the 2028 elections. They've got to come up with plans that are way more aggressive and not genteel, saying "Oh, golly gee, we lost! Oh well."

Donnie is now glorifying Vladimir Putin by suggesting he might help turn Gaza into a livable place while Putin bombs Ukraine. They both belong in the same dumster.

JOHN MILLER's avatar

Only two people are prolonging the war in Ukraine while citizens die and soldiers wear down on Ukraine's side. TRUMP AND PUTIN.

If trump had any intelligence he would be presidential but his family history, as per Mary, negates this. It's too bad that the republicans in the Senate and Congress are more worried about their Donors than honoring their oath of office, selfish not selfless is their flag with a few exceptions in the party.

W T F will it take for them to just reject what he wants when he wants it. When the next War breaks out?

Surprise and wonderment at WAPO, NYTIMES accepted my comments on the latest trumpy lies at Dave's. I've been saying same thing for months, only now are their AI BOTS NOT rejecting scathing replies to lame tales from the grift, crypt(o) king of the world.

Thank you Mr. Karem for sharing your extremely helpful expertise in regard to long standing well accepted protocols for handling and investigating police involved shootings.

His feeble attempt to takeover Greenland is like a bad Netflix. It’s so totally embarrassing. Believe me. The Europeans are not taking his moronic threats likely! I have family in Spain. They think he’s nuts. As for poor Renée Good; I watched the video objectively at least 10 times. It was cold blooded murder. She was no more to him than Kristi Noem’s dog.

If they can make you afraid, they can make you do anything.

Imagine being an elected official in Europe with Putin probing every vulnerability from the East and Trump pecking away at them from the West. Giving in to Trump is an electoral liability while he makes it scary to oppose him.
