President Donald Trump has made fresh threats to Canada and Greenland with a provocative photo on his social media platform.

Since before Trump returned to the White House, he has made his goal to expand north known, calling Canada the “51st State” and insisting the US needed to acquire Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, for “national security purposes.”

Trump continued his pitch to gain control of Canada and Greenland, and even threw Venezuela into the mix, with an edited photo of him showing European leaders in the Oval Office a map of the countries with an American flag superimposed over them.

David Frum, a Canadian-born political writer for The Atlantic, replied to the photo Trump posted on Truth Social Tuesday, jokingly writing on X, “On this map, [Canadian prime minister and leader of the Liberal Party] Mark Carney would be the front-runner for the 2028 Democratic nomination and very likely next president of the United States.”

1. What. Is. WRONG. with this man ???

Is there a succinct answer to that ? I always end up with a list that won't stop growing.

[Intractable]

2. He didn't get any love from his parents when it would have mattered.

Hence, he never became a mature person.

Too late, now.

3. I would be more than ecstatic...

if Mark Carney was our President.

4. Who benefits when a wedge is driven between the USA and its closest allies?

Krasnov is a Russian asset.

5. Silence is consent. Republicans in three words.

6. What a pitiful display!

And the people sitting in that room facilitating the madness should be ashamed. If we charted these verbal attacks on Canada I think we would see a pattern. It’s almost like a playbook used in rotation to keep everyone stirred up.

7. It's an AI image - the other people are country/EU leaders. There was no such Oval Office meeting. It's a troll.

Someone (in the Trump regime? A MAGAt? A 4Chan member? A KKK member? There's little difference, these days) got AI to knock up an image for them to wank over, and Trump liked it so much it's been put out under his name, since he's Chief Troll.

8. I've reached the 'Just shut this fuck up' stage.

9. Maybe we could give all of Trump's properties to some deserving country

10. Time for more Epstein stuff to make headlines.
