The US president has said he is bound only by his “own morality” after a military raid against Venezuela and threats to annex Greenland
“I am the King and I want Dumplings!”

“US President Donald Trump has said he does not need to follow international law and is guided solely by what he described as his own morality.
The remark comes after the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by American commandos last Saturday. Also in recent days, Trump and several officials from his administration have repeated that the US would take possession of Denmark’s autonomous territory of Greenland, one way or the other.
In an interview with The New York Times on Wednesday, the US president made clear that he would not be restrained in exercising his powers as commander-in-chief. “My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
“I don’t need international law,” he stated.
When pressed further as to whether he really thought that Washington did not need to abide by global norms, Trump seemed to somewhat soften his stance. However, the Republican hastened to add that “it depends on what your definition of international law is,” suggesting that the final say on its applicability to the US would lie solely with him.
On Thursday, Trump signed a memorandum suspending support for a total of 66 international organizations, agencies, and commissions, including several UN bodies, “that operate contrary to US national interests, security, economic prosperity, or sovereignty.”
In his interview with the Times, the US president doubled down on his insistence that Greenland should come under Washington’s control.
Speaking to CNN on Monday, Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy, Stephen Miller, reiterated that Washington’s “formal position” is that the “US should have Greenland as part of the overall security apparatus.”
That same day, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that she believed that the “US president should be taken seriously when he says he wants Greenland.” She warned that “if the US were to attack another NATO country militarily, everything would stop – including NATO itself.”
Earlier this week, a group of several EU leaders plus the UK issued a carefully worded joint statement defending Greenland’s status as part of the Kingdom of Denmark.”

Greencrow comments: It’s long past time that all the members of the United Nations other than the rogue/delinquent/criminally insane-led United States of America join Russia and China as a global opposition to WWIII and chaos being ordered by the usual suspects.
This will happen sooner than later folks.
NOTE: Just Googled Mexico and this is what I found:
Someone commented about Trump on another platform recently: He only has two strategies TACO and FAFO. The above statement made to the NYT is the latter IMO.
As I said from the outset–this is a distraction from VeneZuela.
Something is very wrong with the shockingly tragic death of Renee Macklin Good.

Trump is the ‘Frankenstein’ that the US-UK-Israel have created. The fact that he has been able to fool his MAGA-followers for so long is a testament to the manipulation of the media and the power of the AIPAC controllers. Trump hasn’t happened by ‘accident’ because it appears quite clear that he has been created to grant the Money-printers and their AIPAC-apparatchiks their innermost desires. Moreover, the appointment of Howard Lutnik as Trump’s-minder should have spoken volumes from the very beginning. It should be quite clear to most that Trump is the ‘useful-idiot’ that Ariel Sharron and Netanyahu always said they would have in America – to bleed the country dry, before it is allowed to blow away in the wind.
Do recall that Lutnik was the ‘controller’ of Cantor Fitzgerald on the fateful day of 9-11 and by some slippery ‘miracle’ did a Larry-Silverstein on the day … and escaped any harm. And now, that fiend is in ‘control’ of Trump’s-brain – scary! Who knows what is being slipped into the Frankenstein acting as Trump, on a daily basis.
