“Give me the Peace Prize or else I’ll invade other countries and start wars” sounds like something out of a sitcom.

More evidence that there’s a black hole of shit calling itself Donald Trump, and absolutely nobody who has been pulled into his orbit cares about this, or even allegations that he raped little girls.

The thing we’re missing here is that while normal, well-adjusted, educated people who recognize the alarm bells of an elected official publishing gaffs and mistakes like these, the MAGA base frequently makes and overlooks these kinds of mistakes, overlooking them as inconsequential. We all do shit, but none of it matters if it’s done with charisma.

It’s like when a Gen-Z college intern reads an email from a Gen-X, C-Level boss that’s riddled with possessive apostrophes and misspellings and he wonders how someone who never achieved a commensurate literacy is promoted into that role. But it’s not a deal-breaker because his network of peers and competitive, extroverted personality are thought to keep the business thriving.

Jump ahead to a thriving workplace where the hardworking hourly employees show up everyday.

Jump to a Master’s graduate who vibe-authored all of his papers and never had to deal with minutia like punctuation in his resume.

Jump to a charismatic personality.

People can overlook a lot when they want you on their team.

The last ten years have been filled with last straws. Pick one for godsakes! This dude is a child rapist

There have been so many last straws. America is a threat to the world. That he remains in power is evidence.

Trump mocking that disabled reporter because of who they are should've been the last straw.

The author is married to the polish minister of defense. Not that it matters, just a fun fact.

Would you like some more appeasement mr president?

Not the rape, murder, torture, kidnapping, corruption, illegitimacy, illegality, unconstitutionality, warmongering, domestic and international terrorism, pedophilia, economic harm, environmental harm, the destruction of public landmarks, undermining congressional power, illegal firings and appointments, nepotism, theft, convictions, insurrection, sedition, or treason but his grade school bullying of our allies? THAT should be the last straw?

the last straw should have been "grab them by the pussy"

but here we are, getting murdered in the street by nazi fascist pigfuck thugs

The road is currently littered with things that should have been the last straw

Amidst all the doomers in here... I know a crazy MAGA person in my family. They have been staunch about supporting him and defending him since the beginning.

They are livid about this Greenland situation.

There’s been so many “last straws” there’s not a camel out of traction in the whole world.

Should be?

Seriously?

We’re way past the Rubicon. The army is breaking through the city gates.

Anybody who reads that and doesn’t immediately conclude he’s absolutely fucked in the head and a threat to… everyone needs to get on the next SpaceX test rocket.

The last straw before what? What is supposed to happen when the camel's back breaks?

Straw? Seems it's more like a bunch of sledgehammers that won't break the camel's back.

The Final Straw Inc. is constantly looking for new and exciting ways to expand our lineup of Straws.

For decades now, our competitors have said you'll run out of straws, but our team has innovated constantly in the development of cutting edge Last Straws^tm^.

When you're fed up with the rest, it's time to try the best, you can always have One More!

Just how jealous can he be of Obama? Run for president because a joke at the correspondence dinner and willing to start WWIII because Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. FFS

There are no more straws. Anyone who supports Trump at this point has already locked in and there isn't anything him or his admin can do to change their minds.

In any sane country, sure, but we're well beyond that at this point.

Okay, so I can't really get angry over a demented old man yelling at the clouds, it's what they do...

But exactly what is happening in USA since there's nobody telling him to shut the fuck up? Somebody wrote this on a piece of paper for him and put it in an envelope and send it through as diplomatic post between two nations. And NOBODY at any point whatsoever had the courage to tell him what is obvious to everyone else on the planet: That these are the dumbest words every written on a piece of paper in the entire history of mankind. Really?

What are they so afraid of?

Dementia speaks folks.. it’s the late night sundowning and the posting in the wee hours when he should and would be sleeping if his brain wasn’t turning to plaque that’s the give away. Man is falling into the same disease that his father went down with and has played the ‘batshit’ game for so long it’s hiding what would be obvious in a normal, decent person.

Bold of you to assume they'll give Greenlanders American citizenship, or even association status.

The US is awesomely amazing at invading other countries. This is a simple fact sustained by history

Having said that

It's also a simple fact, sustained by history, that America suckw beyond badly at occupying conquered territories. Iraq, anyone? Afghanistan anyone?

And those had relatively easy climates. Greenland is a fucking horror show with which the US has little experience

Any occupation of Greenland by the US WILL fail eventually, the question is just how many US soldiers will have to die before it's decided that maybe just maybe this wasn't a good idea.

The only way it would could possibly work is a complete genocide, kill or forcibly remove ALL citizens. This of course would be a humanitarian catastrophe with very few examples in history, but I wouldn't put it past the cheeto.

This all goes to ignore people living in the US. If you invade Venezuela, Mexico, Canada, Greenland.... Do you really think that none of its citizens that currently live in the US might get ideas? Then what? You're going to round those all up too?

Once the US invaded one of its allies, the current administration will be over, it's just a matter of time before it will bleed to death

To paraphrase a cool movie: There is no winning move, except not to play
