"Trump’s 'Board of Peace' is the nail in Gaza’s coffin".

Trump's 'peace' is in the Orwellian sense of equalling "the final eradication of Palestinian life in Gaza."

And the board is about a new world order where billionaires will decide the fate of weak nations.

“I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace", says Trump. Orwell’s moment is truly upon us: “War is peace.”

Amongst today's talk of the USA purchasing #Greenland, an obscure sideshow of history has emerged: The 1917 Treaty of the Danish West Indies.

This is where the USA successfully bought a number of islands from the Danes. Over 50 islands in total were sold for $ 25 million, and, in a further bizarre twist, two of these were then purchased by a private individual: Jeffrey Epstein

NEWS: Stock Market Tanks as Former Trump Press Secretary Calls for Investigation Into His Mental Fitness Following Bizarre Press Conference

Good evening, everyone.

^{Aaron Parnas (The Parnas Perspective)}

A friend who's well-informed and far savvier than I am about financial matters — he spent part of his working life as a tax accountant — texts me today to say,

"So, tariffs on, tariffs off. Insiders are cleaning up on stocks. Corruption is rampant."

I reply:

"That’s the game! And we are helpless, we little people — just pawns in the game."

"In order to recognize the spectacle now afflicting the American people, you don’t have to consult your favorite therapist, psychiatrist, or mental health expert. Just look at the U.S. stock tickers. The U.S. markets just suffered their worst trading losses in several months. Why? Because Donald Trump threw a temper tantrum at Europe over Greenland and threatened new tariffs."

Trump's Greenland Tantrum Sinks Stocks

Donald Trump’s Greenland tantrum rattles markets, alarms allies, and exposes a presidency governed by impulse, not strategy—with global consequences.

"Stock markets fell on both sides of the Atlantic on Tuesday, with Wall Street suffering its worst day since October, as investor concerns persisted over the fallout from Donald Trump’s push for US control of Greenland."

"Across the first three weeks of 2026, and especially yesterday, President Trump’s Mad King rantings about Greenland have accelerated into something far more stunning and alarming: We are watching in real-time as a superpower dies by suicide — an all-but unprecedented choice to self-immolate and torch the country’s remaining global trust and friendships."

The Autocratic Rationales Behind Trump's Greenland Fixation

Plunder, Pleasing Putin, Partnerships with Technofascists, Megalomania, Corrupting the U.S. Military

^{Ruth Ben-Ghiat (Lucid)}

"NBC: 'Trump calls for ‘immediate negotiations’ on Greenland, but rules out using force' ...

Every story that treats 'I won’t use force' as the news, rather than 'I reminded everyone that I could use unstoppable force,' contributes to a distorted picture of reality. Readers who rely on mainstream coverage encounter a version of Trump that has been sanded down, made palatable, rendered comprehensible within frameworks that don’t apply to him."

"He said he wouldn’t do it. For now.

You won’t find this in any diplomacy textbook. It’s the language of a protection racket.

"The system worked, in part, because countries believed the U.S. would honor its commitments. ...

The reality is that when the architect of the postwar order becomes its violator, the entire system collapses. If the U.S. can threaten NATO allies with impunity, why should China hold back from attacking Taiwan? Why should Russia stop at Ukraine?"

"America, for all its missteps, had been the guarantor of a rules-based order in which smaller nations could trust that their sovereignty would be respected. American dominance was by no means faultless, but it was consciously unlike the empires of old, with a firm policy against pursuing territorial conquest."

Trump’s Attempted Greenland Grab Has Turned America Into a Predatory Power

His bid might have been thwarted for now, but America will be regarded as a global threat going forward

^{Berny Belvedere (The UnPopulist)}

"Trump wants to invade a NATO ally so we can have military bases we already have, to combat a threat that does not exist. To make matters worse, Trump is now citing his failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize as a reason for his aggression toward Greenland.

A military takeover of Greenland would blow up NATO, isolate the U.S., and dramatically strengthen Russia and China—and for what?

It’s pure idiocy."

Trump’s Greenland Problem isn't Going Anywhere

It's the rare idea that is putrid politics and policy

^{Dan Pfeiffer (The Message Box)}

"As I’ve watched the news of Trump’s progressively erratic statements, his confusion over which country’s land he wants to claim and colonize (Iceland, erm, Greenland), it is becoming increasingly obvious that his insatiable appetites are now being filtered through a mind that is malfunctioning.

I don’t take this observation lightly. I lived through caring for two parents with dementia."

"For many years, these appetites have threatened individuals, now, as he teeters at the brink of sense, distressing and shocking allies, he not only endangers our representative democracy, but he is destabilizing America’s place on the world stage."

For her blog, Sarah Stankorb reprises an essay she just published in DAME Magazine. It focuses on Leviathan as the proper image to understand Trump and his increasingly apparent dementia:

"Let’s face it: The Donald doesn’t know what The Donald is going to do or say from one day to the next, so it’s hardly likely that anyone else will. He isn’t even sure if Greenland is Iceland. Hell, they’ve both got land in them. Watch out, England."

"and a legislative branch that has ceded its own Constitutional authority to rein in Donald’s worst impulses despite his blatant corruption, obvious mental decline, and clear desire to dismantle the post-World War II order for his own profit."

"Our allies lay the blame squarely at the feet of an American electorate that, with full knowledge of Donald’s incompetence, psychological unfitness, and megalomania, put him back in charge; a judicial branch, with the corrupt Supreme Court as its back-stop, that granted him virtually complete immunity and continues to expand the reach of his imperial presidency;" (continued in /21)

"He humiliates himself on an almost daily basis and often in the most public ways imaginable. It feels like a bit of cosmic poetic justice.

Unfortunately for the rest of us, his humiliation is ours. The rest of the world doesn’t see Donald as the problem."

#Trump #Greenland #Iceland #Davos #dementia #MadKing

"Given the perfect storm of his incompetence, increasing decline across several categories (the psychological, the cognitive, and the physical); and the sense that he is losing control—over himself and the narrative—and the desperation that goes along with that, it was perhaps inevitable that humiliation has come to stalk him at every turn."

"Instead, Tapper dismissed Trump’s multiple mistaken references to Iceland, saying, 'Trump clearly said Iceland. It’s not that big a deal. Why lie about it?'

Yes, Jake, it is a big deal."

In so many ways, Jake epitomizes what's seriously awry with legacy media: the arrogance, insularity, moral vacuity, elision of truth, cozying up to power and money. This is why many of us have stopped listening to the big pundits.
