Chapter 3: What financial scrutiny is Congresswoman Ilhan Omar facing?
In advance of his arrival in Switzerland, the president posting an AI image online, depicting him planting an American flag next to a sign reading, quote, Greenland, U.S. territory, established 2026.
In recent weeks, President Trump amping up his pressure campaign to secure control of the semi-autonomous territory from Denmark, including threats to impose additional tariffs on the eight European nations most opposed to America's takeover. In response, European leaders scrambling to present a united front, holding emergency talks.
At Davos yesterday, head of the European Union Ursula von der Leyen striking a defiant tone calling for Europe to untether itself from the US.
Geopolitical shocks can and must serve as an opportunity for Europe. And in my view, the seismic change we are going through today is an opportunity, in fact, a necessity to build a new form of European independence. Of course, nostalgia is part of our human story, but nostalgia will not bring back the old order.
And playing for time and hoping for things to revert soon will not fix the structural dependencies we have. So my point is, if this change is permanent, then Europe must change permanently too.

Chapter 5: How are Portland police responding to the shooting of officers?
I mean, handing out crowns and handing out, I mean, this is pathetic. Nobel Prizes, they are being given away. I mean, it's just pathetic. And I hope people understand how pathetic they look. and the world stage.
Chapter 6: What exciting news did Vice President JD Vance announce?
I mean, at least from an American perspective, it's embarrassing. So this is diplomacy with Donald Trump? He's a T-Rex. You mate with him or he devours you.
Wait, what? Elsewhere in Europe, a Danish member of the EU parliament yesterday expressing his feelings succinctly before being cut off for not following the rules.
Let me put this in words you might understand. Mr. President, talk off.
President Trump's drive to acquire Greenland while not ruling out the threat of military force, raising questions about the future of NATO, an alliance built on mutual defense. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant yesterday on Steve Bannon's War Room, framing the administration's push instead as a common-sense proactive initiative to bolster the NATO alliance.
We are still NATO allies. The NATO relationship is strong. And President Trump just believes that the U.S. needs Greenland because no one will they make a move on it then. If the Europeans have it, if Denmark has it, what if Russia, what if China makes a move, then we're part of NATO, we'll get pulled in. Isn't it much better in advance just to cede it to the U.S. and then it has U.S.
protection?
Back stateside, President Trump early Tuesday morning expanding on the argument.
We have to have it. They have to have this done. They can't protect it. Denmark, they're wonderful people.
And I know the leaders, they're very good people, but they don't even go there. And you know, because the boat went there 500 years ago and then left, that doesn't give you title to property.
