    Is there any surprise she’d simply declare victory regardless of reality? It isn’t like his followers can tell the difference.

    To be clear: on a Donald Trump scale, keeping things the same, only losing decades of political good will, not killing thousands of civilians, not starting a new pointless war, and not losing a few trillion dollars of American taxpayer money, is technically a win.

    The text of the deal hasn’t been released. No terms in a joint communiqué. The only information we have on what’s in this deal is coming from the social media posts and anonymous background sources.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if they haven’t actually closed on a final text yet.

      The same playbook as Iran. Just delay until hopefully in 2028 there is a regime change - in the US that is - and maybe, if you are lucky, you can negotiate with a more, I guess normal, government?

      Are…are you suggesting the president lies? And that there may not even be a deal? In fact it’s difficult to say if he’s even aware what Greenland is?

      The Danish and Greenlandic side og the officials, currently traveling to the US, to sign the deal are pretty excited in the danish media.

      Macron from France said that he was informed of the deal a few weeks ago

      Personally I think this is a distraction from the losses in Iran, and to present a nothing deal as a victory

      That’s his usual MO, post something on his twitter clone before anything is agreed upon, let alone signed, and act like it is.

      I wish it wasn’t such an easy way of generating clicks for journalists/media, it’s textbook troll shit, should be ignored.

        Like when he said the news conference would be held at the Four Seasons…

      I wouldn’t be surprised either. I’m sure Denmark is being incredibly careful with the wording of any “deal”.

    He did still win though, because Denmark let him. We’re all pretending it’s ok because we’re informed and know.

    His supporters don’t know. His supporters think he won. A week before midterms.

    He did the exact same thing with tariffs. Lots of threats, then return to status quo is presented as some grand victory.

      I haven’t seen anyone say this since he bombed that school.

        I haven’t seen it in a little while, but I did see it plenty after that point - when people were still paying attention to the weekly “We kicked Iran’s ass!” - “We need to go bomb Iran some more” stupidity. That seems to have either calmed down or the media stopped reporting on it. Either way, they probably lost the market effects so weren’t making as much money so moved on to other ways to steal money.

    I speak with no source but a feeling from his past dealin’ and I think he changed the deal to have his family profit from the mineral exploitation in some way. (Like he did with Ukraine aid)
