And Greenland, with 31.4 billion barrels of oil (2007 U.S. Geological Survey estimate) in the east of the island. (Greenland has significant potential oil and gas resources, but in 2021 the government stopped new exploration and extraction for environmental reasons.)

Our armies need enforce our oil policies in all these places, plus our cities enforcement of immigrants and voter fraud. Where will all these troops come from? Especially since no new recruits with DEI problems will be accepted..The military will collapse!

Have to get fuel somehow. Traitor is stuck in the 80s.

Blood for oil indeed. Just tremendously sad

He's destroying the middle class, there will be few left who can afford to use it. Essentially he is destroying the country he wants to rule - that's insanity. King of a desolate wasteland full of beggars and paupers who can contribute little or nothing.

that he seems to loathe so much, not to mention destroy all his perceived enemies. "If they won't love me, I'll annihilate them and the world they live in." He's like some maniacal villain in a Saturday morning cartoon or a James Bond movie. Pure madness.

If death is imminent, then why should anyone else be allowed to live.

You know, normal people when they realize that they're not going to be around much longer, review their lives and try to make amends for any hurt they may have caused, but Trump is incapable of that kind of self-reflection.

No amount of money or power can keep a person alive indefinitely. He may not choose to play by society's rules and laws, but not even the great and powerful one can evade the grim reaper. That said, god help him if he believes in hell!

will house the dead and dying to tidy things up. If they get too full perhaps there is a way to reduce the camp population. All very humane and efficiently done I suppose.

Meanwhile, he's undermining pretty much everyone else. If one wants to be a king, he needs to have functioning people to rule over, but his policies will leave most unemployed, underemployed, hungry, sick, and desolate.
