TRUMP DECLARES HIMSELF KING OF ISRAEL, THE SECOND COMING OF GOD
The president is sick of disloyal American Jews, who apparently dont know whats good for them. But Jewish people in Israel love him, according to the crazed conspiracy theorist Trump quoted on Twitter.
Its been an eventful 18 hours in the fevered mind of Donald Trump. Yesterday, the president unleashed an anti-Semitic rant in the Oval Office in which he declared that Jews who vote for Democrats are either uneducated or disloyal. Unfortunately, with about 70% of Americans Jews being registered Democrats, thats a lot of disloyalty. So Trump looked elsewhere for answers, and lo, he found an unhinged supporter who says Israelis (the real Jews!) love Trump like the King of Israel and the second coming of God. Then he cited him on Twitter:
Its probably self-evident that anyone claiming Trump is the Messiah is not right in the head, but just so its on the record, Wayne Allyn Roota self-described Jew turned evangelical Christianis an unhinged conspiracy theorist who believes the 2017 Las Vegas shooting was a coordinated Muslim terror attack by ISIS and that George Soros paid actors to stage the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville that included Nazi chants like Jews will not replace us.
Trump, incredibly, seems to believe that hes going to win over Jewish voters by telling them they dont know whats good for them (They dont even know what theyre doing or saying anymore!). Or perhaps hes just given up on American Jews, and is looking to the Likudniks for narcissistic supply. Insulting Americans for being disloyal to Israel, where the second coming is going to take placeled by Trump in the role of Jesusseems like an odd pitch to anyone who knows literally anything about Judaism, but thats probably beside the point. Stay tuned for tomorrow, when Trump cites the teachings of Mel Gibson as reason for this particular constituency to get on board.

Heres why Trump wants to buy Greenland
PUBLISHED WED, AUG 21 2019 5:44 PM EDTUPDATED THU, AUG 22 2019 7:44 AM EDT
President Donald Trump has floated the idea of buying Greenland multiple times. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has called the notion absurd.
Greenlands strategic value is linked tightly to new North Atlantic shipping lanes opening up due to melting polar ice caps. The new lanes have dramatically decreased maritime trade travel times, which generally includes traveling through the Panama or Suez canals to circumnavigate the world.

Or is he just appealing the worst instincts in mankind.
Both of it, in same time.
I also read between lines this nothing is in fact terrorized at the prospect of losing the White House.

When a Republican talks about disarming the public, take heed - another sign of a Tyrant planning to rule as King of the USA for life.
Trump is not only insane but also extremely dangerous to the US Constitution and freedoms it guarantees.

This guy is a public danger and a nut about to crack.

Second only to organized religion in their arrogance and self righteousness.
