The sane parts of the world are opposed to Trump’s insane fantasy about the U.S. taking over Greenland. Several European nations have openly voiced their opposition. These include: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland and the United Kingdom.

So Trump just announced that he will raise the tariffs on these countries another 10%— to bring the total to 25% — and he will keep them that high until they yield to him on Greenland.

This is, I believe, how the Mafia practices extortion.

Either that, or it is the pouting of a stunted adolescent who throws all the toys out of the sandbox if he does not get his way.
