Getting FIFA to fold has emboldened him? Maybe in his befuddled state he's confused NATO and FIFA?

Does he need this diversion again?

It is like his ballroom. He just cannot stop talking about it.

QuoteUS President Donald Trump has said that the future of America's military presence in Europe will depend on negotiations over Greenland and developments in the war with Iran.

Speaking to reporters on board Air Force One on his way back from this week's NATO summit in Turkey on Wednesday, Trump said he has yet to make a final decision on a potential withdrawal of US troops from Europe.

"I haven't made that final determination. A lot's going to depend on Greenland... A lot's dependent on Iran," Trump said, adding that he might pull US troops from Europe if a deal regarding the island is not reached.

Have a safe trip home then!

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

No such luck.  He didn't take that Qatari jet home.  A lot of problems would be solved Trump went down in an accident.  Vance is a scoundrel, but at least he isn't a warmonger.  He was one of the few voices against the Iran war, and I doubt he would be bulling Denmark over Greenland.  Admittedly it's hard to imagine anyone besides Trump threatening NATO over Greenland because it is so mind numbingly stupid.
