#Trump has White House studying cost of #Greenland takeover
The WH is preparing an estimate of what it would cost the federal govt to control Greenland as a territory, acc/to 3 people with knowledge of the matter, the most concrete effort yet to turn Trump’s [#delusional, unsolicited & unwelcome] desire to acquire the Danish island into actionable #policy.

'#Delusional' #Trump Threatens to Send #Tesla #Vandals to Prison for 20 Years... in #ElSalvador
"If genuine steps are taken to remove U.S. citizens convicted of crimes to prisons in El Salvador," said one legal expert, "this removal would violate not only U.S. law but the U.S. Constitution."
Jon Queally, Mar 21, 2025
"President Donald Trump on Friday morning said anyone caught vandalizing Tesla cars or dealerships would be sent to the notoriously violent prisons of El Salvador for a 20-year sentence, a threat characterized by critics as 'delusional' as well as overtly #unlawful.
"'People that get caught sabotaging Teslas will stand a very good chance of going to jail for up to twenty years, and that includes the funders,' Trump stated overnight, adding in all caps: 'WE ARE LOOKING FOR YOU!!!'
"Several hours later, Trump took up the issue again on his TruthSocial platform, saying: 'I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20-year jail sentences for what they are doing to #ElonMusk and Tesla. Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!'
"#CivilRightsAttorney #SherrilynIfill said the threat, which follows on Trump's highly controversial deportation of alleged gang members to El Salvador last week, should not be taken lightly.
"'Remember that this is where his discussions with El Salvador began,' said Ifill in response to Trump's rantings on Friday. 'The #MigrantDetentions there are the dry run. He wants to ship U.S. prisoners to El Salvador. We cannot sleepwalk through this.'
"The #TeslaTakedown movement has gained steam over recent weeks, with people nationwide angered by Elon Musk's wholesale assault on cherished government agencies and programs. The world's richest man, #Musk, has been empowered by Trump to spearhead his invented Department of Government Efficiency, or #DOGE.
"As Axios reports, in response to the popular anger directed at Tesla, "Trump has put the full weight of the U.S. government behind defending and promoting 'first buddy' Elon Musk's car company, which has seen both its sales and stock price slump."

"He’s a psychopath gleefully breaking the world economy while pretending there will be some glorious payoff on the other side.
Is it any surprise? Trump never pretended otherwise. He did say on the campaign trail, 'I don’t care about you. I just want your vote.'
Trump’s superpower is that people believe his lies and don’t believe his truths."

"The two most powerful men in America have gone stark raving mad. ...
I don’t see how you can look at recent statements by Donald Trump and Elon Musk without concluding that both men have lost their grip on reality."

The #lawless rampage of the second #Trump Admin has already touched everything from rangers at America’s treasured national parks to the very pillars of the decades-old transatlantic #alliance.
But you wouldn’t have known it from hearing Trump wind his way through nearly a hundred minutes of mostly standard-issue Fox News culture-war talking points & alpha-male American exceptionalism.
There’s no doubt that #Trump, in just 6 weeks, has compiled a most unusual list of accomplishments to boast about—much of it a result of allowing the world’s richest man to take a chainsaw to the federal govt, cutting hundreds of thousands of federal jobs & unilaterally shutting down federal programs & contracts worth billions of dollars in defiance of #Congress.
Six weeks & two days after returning to the Oval Office, Donald #Trump headed back to the Capitol, the site of his very recent swearing-in ceremony, to declare victory—again & again & again. Over Joe #Biden. Evil foreign gangs. #Canada. In his address to a joint session of #Congress on Tues night, Trump claimed that he had done more in his first wild weeks back in power, with his “swift & unrelenting action,” than any President ever, including George Washington.
#Trump’s Golden Age of Bunk
In a Castro-length speech to #Congress, the President claimed victory, while proving that even the most #unhinged address can be boring if it goes on long enough.

I've probably just wasted £20 with multiple submissions to SubmitHub but f**k me if I don't believe in this song with every fibre of my being 
#Trump is sick, he's #delusional (grandiose type), so more shit to come, don't be surprised.
Who is he to “allow” anyone to do anything there, especially anything this idiotic & dangerous 
- #delusional 1/…
“ #Trump on Sunday said that he is committed to buying and owning #Gaza, but could allow sections of the land to be rebuilt by other states in the Middle East.”
@solownh @Lylamehta Yep, was about to say the same, he doesn't understand the words 'ethnic cleaning'. This guy is on a very low level of understanding, complexity is not his turf, this is why he uses very basic and plain language, he's #delusional
#Trump is absolutely #delusional, I can't come to another conclusion. Everything to him is a thing, he's not normal, he belongs in a psychiatric ward.
The Anti-Social Century, #Americans are now spending more time alone than ever. It’s changing our #personalities, our #politics, and even our relationship to #reality. The shift to self-isolation is rewiring culture and politics, “making society #weaker, #meaner, and more #delusional #loneliness #isolation #socialmedia #food #delivery #cooking #eating #social #gatherings #communications #contact #talking #socializing #pandemic #covid #maga #trump https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2025/02/american-loneliness-personality-politics/681091/
