'Trump Gaza' AI video creators say they don't want to be the president's 'propaganda machine'

What most people consider, either a huge joke or very offensive is evidence of Trump's Islamophobic mentality.

Also his mental illness that causes this behavior illness that I've insisted he's had for years. Being re elected to the most powerful person on the planet and having 10s of millions of worshipers in his cult has ramped up the severity of it.

Remember, I VOTED FOR Trump in November because I knew he would end the war in Ukraine. I am NOT a republican and I certainly don't have TDS. 

I'm just an objective, independent scientist that makes evidence based statements on MarketForum using the scientific method to help enlighten readers.

And as a chess coach for 30 years, that applies the same principles of critical thinking........independent of politics and emotions.

This is nuts!

Vance tells Greenlanders they'd be better off being part of the United States

https://www.npr.org/2025/03/28/nx-s1-5343555/vance-greenland-visit



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland

Greenland (Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaat, pronounced [kalaːɬːit nʉnaːt]; Danish: Grønland, pronounced [ˈkʁɶnˌlænˀ]) is an autonomous territory[e] in the Kingdom of Denmark.[15][16] It is by far the largest of three constituent parts of the kingdom; the other two are metropolitan Denmark and the Faroe Islands. The citizens of all territories are full citizens of Denmark. Greenland is one of the Overseas Countries and Territories of the European Union and is part of the Council of Europe.[17] The capital and largest city of Greenland is Nuuk.[17] Greenland lies between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. It is the world's largest island,[f] and is the location of the northernmost point of land in the world—Kaffeklubben Island off the northern coast is the world's northernmost undisputed point of land;[g]Cape Morris Jesup on the mainland was thought to be so until the 1960s. Economically, Greenland is heavily reliant on aid from Denmark, amounting to nearly half of the territory's total public revenue.

Though a part of the continent of North America, Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with the European kingdoms of Norway and Denmark for more than a millennium, beginning in 986.[19] Greenland has been inhabited at intervals over at least the last 4,500 years by circumpolar peoples whose forebears migrated there from what is now Canada.[20][21]Norsemen from Norway settled the uninhabited southern part of Greenland beginning in the 10th century (having previously settled Iceland), and their descendants lived in Greenland for 400 years until disappearing in the late 15th century. The 13th century saw the arrival of Inuit.

This is a complete joke  with a near 0 chance of every happening and only more evidence that President Trump is mentally ill..........based on a clinical/medical definition, not a political one!

It just makes the omnipotent bloviator look like a dictator wanna be buffoon, while continuing to harm our relationships with other countries.

The relevant questions are:

Do the people of Greenland want this?

Do the people of Greenland have the right to decide their own destiny or does Donald Trump and the United States get to decide for them?

Since Trump thinks the answer to the 2nd question is different than everybody in Greenland and the people of Greenland will not cede their right, it means CONFLICT between Greenland and the United States with nothing but downside. Doubling and tripled down on delusions of grandeur-ism mentality when its very counter productive, like in this case is taking our country in the exact wrong direction.

" this is a complete joke and has zero chance"  MM on Greeneland. Many things have happened that had some ones zero chance. For the record go back to hundreds of miraculous victories during WW II that had zero chance. For a recent example just how many said Musk had zero chance of succeeding with reducing waste, fraud and abuse in our gov. Well SOB, he is averaging a billion/day 7 days a week while he and his people are working for free. He is now confident he will reach his goal in his alloted 130 days. All this fighting a straight up hill battle against all the idiots in congress who created this mess and each year come back and compound the mess.

Thanks, mcfarm!

Since YOU brought up WW2, I'll go ahead and make the objective comparison the way that I see it.

In WW2, we were clearly the good guys fighting for freedom/democracy and against the dictator who was trying to take other lands because he was more powerful.

Here in 2025, with the US and Greenland, who is acting like the dictator, trying to take another land against the democratic wishes of a free country???

Vance in Greenland: ‘We do not think military force is ever going to be necessary

https://www.yahoo.com/news/vance-greenland-not-think-military-194926939.html?fr=yhssrp_catchall

“What we think is going to happen is that the Greenlanders are going to choose, through self determination, to become independent of Denmark, and then we’re going to have conversations with the people of Greenland from there.”

Donald Trump's Greenland Takeover Idea Is Unpopular—What Polls Show

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-greenland-takeover-idea-unpopular-what-polls-show-2052581

What Do Americans Think?

Recent polls show few Americans favor the idea of the U.S. taking over Greenland.

A Fox News survey conducted from March 14 to 17 showed that 70 percent of registered voters opposed Trump's goal. Just 26 percent of respondents supported the Greenland plan.

Notably, this was the least popular idea polled by Fox News in the survey. Renaming the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America and working to shutter the Department of Education were a close second and third, at 67 percent and 65 percent opposed, respectively.

What Do Greenlanders Think?

In a poll, conducted between January 22 and 26 by Verian for Danish newspaper Berlingske and Greenlandic newspaper Sermitsiaqt, 85 percent of respondents said they do not support joining the U.S., while only 6 percent said they would back such a move and 9 percent said they were undecided.

Trump is blowing it big on this UNPOPULAR issue. He's supposed to be a man of the people fighting the swamp to give Americans what they really want and need. Instead, the comeback victory of his omnipotence has revved up his ego so big that it has swamped his ability to use critical thinking and consider the actual people that he's supposed to serve NOT RULE.
