Emotional support colonialism
Is there another kind?
Seeing him hang from the neck is psychologically important to me, but I guess we can't always get what we want.
Honestly, as long as we leave him up, I'm willing to settle for any body part.
Mussolini comes to mind...
I'd even settle for him getting Gaddafied.

Emotional support country
Trump also told the Times that he isn’t opposed to using nuclear force if he “needed it” to take over the Arctic island but that “it might upset NATO,"
Ummm... what? Did the media just sane wash this headline? Trump is ok with nuking his way into owning Greenland and we're just all ok with that?
That's still pretty batshit for a statement that's been sane-washed.
The U.S. president told the paper in an article published on Jan. 8 that just "one thing" stands in the way of him and world dominance. "My own morality. My own mind," he said. "It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
Well, that's very reassuring
What's important for him psychologically, and the whole damn world, is that he takes his meds.
Yeah, all of them.
The tiny handed orange toddler "I WANT IT. I WANTS IT!!! WAHHHH. GIVE ME. WAHHH"
Then goes off to think about all those little children he raped with his bestie Jeffery Epstein.
"I have a limp dick and can't fuck kids anymore, I need emotional support."
Do we have any evidence that he's stopped?
Seriously, can't enact his power fantasies on children anymore so somehow he convinced a significant amount of Americans to let him abuse the world as a president instead.
Somebody ought to sit him down and explain the Mercator projection to him.
That's way too advanced for a guy who can barely read or write.
"it might upset NATO"
Dude, it would 100% be the end of NATO
I guess everything has a silver lining.
According to Russia at least

It's his emotional support island.
Yeah, because the previous one is non-functional nowadays
The desolate landscape and freezing temperatures reminds him of his wife’s feelings towards him
Can someone please just teach him how to play those Paradox map games

Honestly a little impressed he's able to use the word 'psychologically'. That's a lot of syllables.
They should tell him, it's not green and there are not many kids to moleat over there.
My psychiatrist gave me a prescription for an emotional support Greenland, legally you aren’t even allowed to ask me about it other than if it’s an emotional support Greenland, which it is.
Those Epstein files must be insane.
I understand he is trying to destroy America, but this would make it nearly instant.
Nah, the US is well-accustomed to handling that sort of thing, done it dozens of times already. What is different is that now it's imperialistic violence against a purported ally, a NATO country. If he invades, this will certainly have knock-on effects later, and I hope it leads to the destruction of the US as a global power eventually - that would be at least one silver lining.
It's similar to how his admin is using the genocidal violence usually designated for poor global south countries, at home, on US citizens. Same tactics, different targets.
Why won't France and the UK state they'd nuke him back if he tried? They're NATO countries too and need to stand by in solidarity with an ally being attacked. Letting the orange Hitler do as he pleases will only embolden him to go after them later.
All about ego. He has nothing else except to be the biggest bully he can be.
He's like 70% ego (10% hairspray, 10% bronzer and 10% hamberder)
So psychologically, is it important to maintain his ego.
It's a health decision
/s
let him play with a fake world map where everything is called USA
United States of America
European Union of States of America
Soviet Union of America
…
Could we mint him an NFT?
If that even made sense, it would be even more reason to deny him it.
Someone throw some green-painted dirt on his face and tell him "Here's your greenland, now fuck off"
The US already has direct colonial control over NATO. NATO is fully committed to not let Russia invade Greenland or setup oil rigs off the coast, and it is absurd to suggest that Russia or China are patrolling Greenland or have any desire to attempt to take their resources without cooperation. But the US would get NATO's help for defense of Greenland, and NATO would permit greater US contribution to NATO command bases there, or obey orders to contribute more themselves.
Trump, in addition to repeating the false China/Russia threat, has admitted zero interest in Greenland's resources. They are too far away and extremely expensive to develop. This leaves only a single possible motive for needing US control over Greenland: The absolute certainty that EU will disobey US orders for greater submission and the need to directly threaten them from closer distance. There is no offensive missile threat to Russia provided by Greenland relative to other NATO territory.
So, he understands the concept of a safe space... But only for him? And only if it's... a country?
At least he is honest...
