Apparently he's been bragging today that world leaders are "kissing his ass", which seems to be just as likely to be his motivation as anything else.

He's also planning a $100M military parade in DC, apparently on his birthday (although he denies that point).

He's a wannabe dictator - seems same motivation for Greenland, Panana, Canada (51st state), maybe also strikes on Houthi.



At least we got the Gulf of America. The only question now is, now that we've alienated our allies, shown our unwillingness to cooperate on anything, demonstrated our inability to back up our show of strength, openly laid out our lack of solidarity, and established our irrationality and volatility to the world, how long will it take China to decide to waltz a few battleships into Hawaii and claim the Pacific as the Gulf of China.

This would be straight Roman Emperor stuff.


Without the slave reminding him of his mortality.


More Kim Jong-Il/Un than Julius Caesar.


Yeah, it's so dumb that it's kinda funny, even if he's wasting $100M on it.

Makes me think of Woody Allen in "Bananas". Maybe Trump will play dress-up as general too? Would a fake Castro beard be too much to ask ?


Strikes on houthi are not because "he's a wannabe dictator", let's be real. US is involved in ME for one reason and one reason only.
