Comment on Source: US may gain sovereignty over small areas in Greenland

Just the fact that people took his toddler tantrum seriously enough to even pretend like they are compromising emboldens him. We’ve seen this happen how many times now and it only made things worse.
You talked about start position as if that matters to Trump. Remember when Canada backed down on their digital service tax act? In reality, it’s simply a return to status quo, but to this insane administration, they consider it a “win” to make Canada compromise to a crazy situation Trump initiated.
Being so happy that Trump didn’t get what he pretended to want is just you being tricked by his flood the zone tactic. This type of toddler decisions should have just been completely shut down without any need for discussion. I don’t know why you’re happy that it was entertained for even a moment.

Again. The compromise is he got nothing. Trumps celebration is basically the equivalent of a kid going “I totally wanted to eat the vegetables all along.”
No I talk about the start position to show where we are at and what trump won. Trump started at the status Wii and is now celebrating as things stay at the status quo. So if Trump had not left the start position in the end what damn reward is one giving him?
Then it’s a good thing I am not “happy.” I just don’t find what Trump is winning and so empowered to go further. I would honestly argue that with Trump getting nothing of substance and everything staying the status quo it has shut down Trump. Or at least he has gotten board enough to move on with something else, and foreign policy wise it looks to be that BS Board of Peace which is just going to be Trump’s personal social club of international assholes all things considered.
