  1. Desperately attempting to save face after yet another tantrum which failed to produce results. So predictable. TACO

    Don’t vote in demented pedophile rapists who dont understand how anything works next time America

    The deal is probably the one already in place with minor changes, he will go home and spew to his brainwashed followers about what a deal maker he is and how fucking awesome he is.

  5. I hope the framework is, you dont get greenland. This guy has 0 credibility. He could say anything about “what people say”, as long as its vague enough to be unconfirmed.

  6. Good time to reduce your US portfolio allocation to a less risky percentage while the markets still think this is fine.

  7. He’s a fucking child. ‘Can I get away with this?’ Everyone: ‘no!’ And then he spins what Denmark were already happy to discuss with him as a win. Massive fucking time waster.

  8. > Stocks shot up immediately after Trump posted the update.

    market manipulation at it’s finest.

    let his friends buy low, and voila, all is fine.

    I guess the profit taking was done and his cronies have all bought back into the market. Time to make it go back up.

    Wait until he gets back to Washington and someone else gets in his ear. They’ll be back on again in a few weeks

    I’m afraid American promises aren’t worth anything. You simply can’t trust them

    I bet they said “we’ll let you operate your military there however you need to”

    … Which is exactly what the US is currently allowed to do, since 1951.

    8d chess best deal maker!

  12. He crashes the stock market, his sons purchase a shitton of stock. Then he reverses course, or even announce an invented big breakthrough. And then his sons sell the stock.

    Then they look at each other and ask “When can we do this again?”

    Does this mean we can forget this distraction and get back to the Epstein files?

  14. New framework: we can expand our military presence in Greenland to feel secure.

    Reality: we could’ve always done that..

  15. shockinglyunoriginal on

    Good news everyone! Greenland agreed to let us place an army base there and use it whenever we want!

  16. He’ll announce a new base in Greenland, rename the existing base the Donald J. Trump Center for Peace in the US Hemisphere and call it a win. None of his followers will understand it’s not a new base or new deployment of troops and think he won and that Europe lost. Those people hate Europe and love Russia anyway. Meanwhile Putin is getting what he wanted in a diminished US influence in Europe and more bargaining power.

    >Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. […] Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland.

    In a diplomatic masterstroke, the President has blown up the Western Alliance to achieve something that could have been achieved by just asking nicely for it in the first place. Slow clap for the stable genius.

  18. Calling it now: this “deal” is just going to be a photocopy of the existing 1951 treaty we already have with an extra line for him to sign his name on. Maybe a little token bonus of something like nato keeping an extra ship in the area

    This was all such a waste of time for absolutely no gain at the expense of destroying even more of our soft power

  19. He claims his speech was just “common sense.”

    That quote stopped me. Trump and common sense in the same sentence. I bet that’s not even on *anybody’s* bingo card, but Trump claiming to be a dictator probably was.

    What a timeline.

  20. What kind of “framework of a deal” can he make with the Secretary General of NATO, who has no authority over a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark?

    I expect this was all just a scam and it was just to cause a temporary surge in the stock market which he got.

  21. It’s called the “consent framework.”

    Trump had never heard of it before.

    In this case it’s backed by the “we can crush your economy overnight” framework.

    New day, old mutually-assured destruction.

  22. If you’re an American reading this, and you support trump, please try to see through this fat orange fraud. Nothing he says is true, his word means nothing. Anyone who supports him has been played beyond belief. But don’t feel like you have to support him until the end. Open your eyes. Your country is being destroyed in front of your eyes by a paedophilic, narcissistic moron who only operates for the benefit of himself and his corrupt billionaire friends

  23. The only problem now is the EU pulled ratification of the original trade agreement, and I think there might be a problem getting it reinstated. The people who were originally opposed to the deal are now saying “see, we told you he couldn’t be trusted”. And they’d be right.

  24. Spoiler alert: He didn’t.

    What happened was that NATO stood up to him to his face and told him what was going to happen, and he backed down like narcissists tend to do when someone calls them out.

    He’s saying that he reached a deal and they’ll work on it. It’ll happen in about 2 weeks. Honest!

    Of course, we can’t trust Trump to tell the truth about anything or keep his word on anything, but I think it’s safe to say he’s retreating from the idea.

    Insider trading goes hard with this administration. Throw the market into chaos and then “fix” the problem you started in the first place

  26. CombustiblSquid on

    I just see the “stocks shot up” shit and facepalm. Capitalism in its current form is a fucking joke if its this easy to manipulate the markets. Cause crisis, stocks plumit, buy cheap, solve problem that you caused, stock sky rocket.

    Society is a fucking joke.

  27. Taco Trump didn’t get a damn thing. He realized he wasn’t going to be able to bully NATO nations and/or the EU because they hold $8 trillion in US government debt and can ruin our economy in a heartbeat with their own trade policies and / or calling in their loans.
