The credulous coverage of Trump’s claimed “historic deal” in Greenland — which changes nothing of substance about the existing security agreement — is yet another embarrassing instance of the media “treating the kayfabe as real.”
Why would a self-respecting reporter participate in this nonsense?

1. BREAKING
The government of Greenland and the Danish Prime Minister’s office have released a joint statement on an agreement with the United States.
Unsurprisingly, the statement does not match the sweeping nature of Trump’s post on Truth Social.

People have forgotten the purpose of the EU. It’s not trade – that’s a tool.
And it’s most certainly not about protection against the outside.
It’s about protecting the members (and the world in general) against each other.

President Donald Trump called a proposal for Canada to join the EU as an associate member a “hostile act.”

This is all very well, but the US relies heavily on the EU for chemical and pharmaceutical products, machine tools and electrical goods. He must have missed the week on international trade at Wharton.
