@anneapplebaum I'm not sure even an invasion of Greenland would be a "last straw" for the GOP in Congress. Although some of them have said it would be, they've always fallen in line before.
My favorite absurdity in this letter is "we had boats landing there, also." The Danes (as part of Denmark-Norway) were there long before the US even existed.
BTW, I always love your articles. Thank you for what you do.

He would be perfectly happy if he could stay at Mar A Lago in his Oval Office replica signing things with an AI news feed telling him everyone loves him. A random set of actors could be paraded through and he'd never know they weren't dignitaries.@cshlan @anneapplebaum I imagine there's a lot of that going on but also that he's hard to contain and he's being guarded by people who are going to see he gets his way until someone tells them he's incapacitated in a very official way.
It's only a partial coup at this point. The military and SS are still largely professionals even if the true believers are being removed. People would tell.

@anneapplebaum This is straight CRAZY. I can't believe the lengths GOP congressman and senators will go to secure an endorsement in a PRIMARY.

@anneapplebaum I used to think "running a country" required a decent amount of intelligence, skill, empathy, etc. Boy, was I ever wrong!
@misjavanlaatum @anneapplebaum @IndyRichard @misjavanlaatum @anneapplebaum wasn't wrong when she thought that "running a country required a decent amount of intelligence, skill, empathy, etc." It's just that the requirements are different for "running a country into the ground!"

Norwegians, please offers him a super-duper golden Nobel Prize when he arrives on Mars with all his cronies and oligarchs on a one-way ticket. -

@anneapplebaum The Peace Prize fixation is all about Barack Obama, the fact that Obama did win a Peace Prize (and Grammy and Emmy awards) and Trump did not.

@anneapplebaum nominate for ig-nobel price?

@anneapplebaum Jan 6th was supposed to be the last straw… impeach, remove, convict.
@FrancoisPrague @anneapplebaum
Yeah, the last straw was several straws ago. -

@anneapplebaum
"the last straw"how many last straws? which last straw? how many will come?
i think first impeachment vote was enough.
my prognosis is not very optimistic.

most importantly also the fascists and terror sponsors Thiel, almost every other tech fash & their puppets Vance & Co.
And I must say that I forgot a lot of other big names like Zuckerberg .

Great idea, to award him the Ig Nobel Prize. However:
"The Ig Nobel Prize is a prize to promote public engagement with scientific research. Its aim is to "honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think"
No, that doesn't sound like Trump at all.
* Scientific research.
* Make people think. -

Republicans in Congress should REMOVE HIM

@Paul_stilgar @anneapplebaum I am not so surprised that he believes in all of this nonsense. We knew that already and he is not the only world leader with such opinions.
It's more surprising that he says this out loud. I am not a psychologist but maybe indeed this is some kind of defecit in inhibitory control related to aging

#DementiaDon has Frontal Lobe Dementia. That means he has lost what little inhibitions and control he once had, and can easily become obsessed with bizarre things.
#Dementia never ends well-- especially if the patient is allowed to keep working, and treated in the media and by those under them as if they are sane and reasonable.
#JDVance and the #GOPmajority will NEVER #invokethe25th to stop him. The Dems need to step up and do that for him, and stop WAITING for the midterms-- Donald's Dementia is too advanced and progressing quickly. People are going to die-- and already have. The world CANNOT wait until then.
@anneapplebaum @AnneTheWriter1 jd and the heritage boys want people to die. Blaming don is a bonus

@anneapplebaum Thank you for showing US citizens the whole real desaster.
People in Europe don't believe anymore that he or his puppeteers will be stopped. In most peoples' eyes here (with the exception of the far-right), the USA have become a rogue fascist state.
The only thing we can do is protect us against the Kremlin and the White House (same danger now). Or buy California 🤫 https://denmarkification.com/
