let's not forget he also doesn't do a lot of things he says that are highly problematic, like invading greenland.

thats not excusing trump supporters but also you can maybe understand why there is a predilection to just hope it goes away (because often it does)

He treats ideas like cattle, not pets. Throws out a lot of seeds and sees if they take root. It creates a lot of havoc because his detractor's analysts have to write a researched article about every seed. Meanwhile he's always got seeds growing.

Yeah it's a clear example of the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle.

Trump can spout random bullshit all day long and neither he nor his supporters care. Meanwhile, all his detractors have to spend mountains of time disproving everything that comes out of his mouth.

That's not the thing I'm talking about though. I'm talking about when he actually does stuff.

Like, I don't understand your point here, I said stuff Trump has done, not stuff he said he's gonna do.

...yet

pretty sure trump has forgotten all about greenalnd and i would bet money it doesn't come up for the balance of his term. the man has the memory of a goldfish

Trump doesn't need a memory. He's being told what to do by Miller, Vought, and the other Heritage/2025 crazies.

They were very, very angry about the Greeland/EU mineral deal, which is why Trump immediately slapped a huge tariff on EU imports.

But Trump only cares about Trump. As long as he's getting attention, being on TV, scamming people, and cheating at golf, he's perfectly happy. He has no long term goals beyond that.
