In one absolutely insane Christmas message, Donald Trump manages to threaten three countries (including two NATO members).

Instead of doing the kind of things that normal people do on Christmas Day, President-elect and world-class weirdo Donald Trump spent his morning posting about three dozen items on his social media site that ranged from touting made-up awards he won and republishing Washington Post editorials from five years ago, to taking shots at his political enemies and amplifying articles supporting some of his most controversial nominees.
And then things got weird.
At some point since his election victory, somebody must have told Trump that, in order to be considered an even greater president than George Washington, he’d need to add some Lebensraum for the American people (if you’re not sure what that is, visit the Holocaust Memorial Museum website for an explainer).
In any case, the America First, non-interventionist former and future president has spent the past couple weeks obsessing over expanding the territory of the United States.
It started with him “joking” about annexing Canada. As we pointed out, these jokes are never jokes but rather batsh!t insane ideas that Trump likes to float, and, if they turn out to be too crazy even for his supporters, he can then walk them back by claiming he was kidding.
Well, he surely likes to talk about this… including to one of the most famous Canadians of all time.
“I just left Wayne Gretzky, ‘The Great One’ as he is known in Ice Hockey circles,” Trump wrote on Christmas Day, instead of spending time with his family like everybody else.
“I said, ‘Wayne, why don’t you run for Prime Minister of Canada, soon to be known as the Governor of Canada – You would win easily, you wouldn’t even have to campaign.’ He had no interest, but I think the people of Canada should start a DRAFT WAYNE GRETZKY Movement. It would be so much fun to watch!”
Soooo much fun! We bet Canadians find it hilarious that their southern neighbor is going to be run by a nutjob who has his sights set on their country.
We are curious how Gretzky declined this amazing offer without telling Trump that he was cuckoo.
It’s tough to believe, but it didn’t get any saner.
That’s because Trump doesn’t just want a Canadian Anschluss, he also seems to consider attacking Panama and taking over Greenland by unspecified means.
The president-elect, who is known for writing strange holiday messages, didn’t disappoint.
“Merry Christmas to all, including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal (where we lost 38,000 people in its building 110 years ago), always making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in ‘repair’ money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about ‘anything,’” wrote Trump, a noted history scholar and grammar buff.
“Also, to Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose Citizens’ Taxes are far too high, but if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World,” the president-elect added.
And that still wasn’t the most disturbing part of that Christmas message… that came next.
“Likewise, to the people of Greenland, which is needed by the United States for National Security purposes and, who want the US to be there, and we will!” Trump stated.
Well, that sounds ominous and really disturbing, especially coming from a guy who isn’t exactly mentally stable and will assume control of the world’s most powerful history in less than a month.
