He's not dumb. He's cancer. He's aggressive. And he intends on metastasizing to the entire world. Strongmen only respect strength. We need to show him how nasty we can be. Watch what he does with targets he perceives as weaker than us (if there are any). If he goes after Panama first, or Greenland, you can be certain that we are next.

This is not empty rhetoric folks. I've been saying it since before the election and I'm going to keep saying it, he's actually coming for us. His first term was full of empty threats. This one hasn't been. He has followed through, and he will follow through. He will continue to bully us and come at us sideways for awhile, take what he can by hook or by crook, but eventually he will get impatient and greedy. He is coming. Prepare to be another Ukraine, another Afghanistan. The latter is a tiny, technologically backwards nation that is called the "Graveyard of empires" for good reason. We can be that, and we will need to be that. I say this to reassure you that it is absolutely possible to defend our sovereignty against a much larger aggressor. This is anything but a lost cause, but we need to take it very seriously, because he is deadly serious.

He absolutely is dumb. But that doesn't mean he's not dangerous.

He looks to us the way Putin looks at Ukraine.

Someone tell Doug Ford that capitulating to Trump is not going to pay off. He seems to be moving from big talk of resistance to total submission.

Yeah, I'm curious what changed. Did he get a payout to sell out his province and country? Was he blackmailed? Or was he just bluffing and America called him on it?

That what conservative do they would sell canada at the first chance but they have to look like big bad men so they bark a little then roll over

Cancer is very dumb, by any metric I can possibly imagine:

  • it literally lacks any mechanism for intellect/processing information
  • it is a random mutation that renders affected cells dysfunctional
  • it has no mechanism to spread to another host, yet still kills the host it has
  • it has four different ways that it might just kill itself

This only makes the metaphor all the more apt. Intelligent foes are far less dangerous. You have to be exceedingly dumb to choose mutually assured destruction.

SCOTUS declaring full immunity for anything done as an official presidential act is probably why this term feels less hollow; last time around he had to be careful not to end up in prison, this time he has nothing to fear.
