  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator.

One can hope that the most popular president ever with the highest turnout ever, and highest ratings ever, who won by the largest landslide ever would at least act like an adult.

I’m sure you meant to say the adulitiest adulting adult ever.

You would think that such an old, old, man would act like a grownup.
Have you never heard of a "second childhood"? We seem to be in this territory now.

But that would be contrary to a good measure of his appeal.

Why flip it around to French/Denmark. The article has it as Danish-French. And it's because the Danish already have control over the territory. Adam Mockler is playing Mockery.
no big deal if France/Denmark or Denmark/France or Danish/French......

France has a lucrative deal with China already underway.

Trump has had deals with China all along. Most all of the stuff he sells is from there.

And check this:

A struggling technology company that has ties to China and relies on TikTok made an unusual announcement this week. It had secured funding to buy as much as $300 million of $TRUMP, the so-called memecoin marketed by President Trump.​
GD Culture Group, a publicly traded firm with a Chinese subsidiary, has only eight employees, its public filings show, and recorded zero revenue last year from an e-commerce business it operates on TikTok, the Chinese-owned video-sharing app.​
But on Monday, GD Culture Group became the latest business with foreign ties to seize on Mr. Trump’s crypto venture, which channels profits directly to the Trump family and has generated conflicts of interest that have alarmed ethics experts. (Memecoins like $TRUMP are a type of cryptocurrency based on an online joke or celebrity mascot and have traditionally not had any utility beyond speculation.)​
In its statement, GD Culture Group, which is traded on the Nasdaq, said it would spend $300 million on a stockpile of Bitcoin and $TRUMP, using proceeds from a stock sale to an unnamed entity in the British Virgin Islands, a popular tax haven. It confirmed that investment plan in a securities filing late Tuesday.​

He is the most adulty that anyone has ever been. People are talking about it, he is very bigly in the adulty department, the likes of which the world has never seen before. Oh, but treated so nasitly from the corrupt fake news media and the having to put up with a witch hunt from the radical left and never Trumpers, it's disgraceful really. They are just so nasty. What were we talking about? Oh , yeah, Trump is the best and most adult of anyone that ever lived.

I’ve previously stated that his business ties are a conflict of interest and he’s profiting from the presidency. But everyone does on capitol hill and in those circles. It’s hard not to.

Three different people.
Most popular - Lincoln

Winner of highest turnout - Biden 2020

Winner of biggest landslide - LBJ vs. Goldwater

All pretty much adults, and all with higher approval ratings than Trump.

Nobody has a higher approval rate than Trump! His is so high that it had to start over, so if you see 49% it's really 149%.

Well if Lincoln was so popular, where is he now? If he was really that popular, he'd be where Trump is. Instead he's just laying in a grave. We prefer our presidents not dead. So weak, so weak, a total loser.

Talk about understating it.

Trump has the best deals with China, they are big and beautiful, like maybe the best deals ever seen since, well maybe since Lincoln, and maybe even since before that. He aced his cognitive test don't you know, everyone is talking about it. The doctor said he was very surprised about how easily Trump aced it, he got bonus points, most just say the words but he said them in the right order. Like nobody does that, but Trump has the biggest most beautiful brain, one of the most amazing minds (taps head) of our generation, perhaps even going all the way back to Lincoln, no, actually, maybe even going all the way back to Adam and Eve, maybe even before that. The election was stolen don't you know, terrible, just terrible, the radical left will do anything, it's just horrible. Woo is me, I mean, poor Trump, no one in history was treated as unfairly as him. Perhaps a military parade is needed to show the world how much USA loves Trump. Need to give the man some love. Show how powerful and loved he is, need to do something big, like what they do in Russia, China and North Korea. The people just adore their leaders there. Why should Trump be loved any less?

Greenland has allowed a Danish-French consortium to mine a rock which is key to the production of aluminum....​

What To Know​

Greenland Anorthosite Mining (GAM) was granted permission to extract anorthosite, a white rock composed mainly of aluminum, micro silica, and calcium. The firm plans to ship crushed anorthosite from the west of Greenland for use by the fiberglass industry.​
In announcing the 30-year permit, Greenland's Mineral Resources Minister Naaja Nathanielsen said the goal was to scale the project to become a climate-friendly alternative to bauxite in producing aluminum for aircraft, vehicles and defense.In announcing the 30-year permit, Greenland's Mineral Resources Minister Naaja Nathanielsen said the goal was to scale the project to become a climate-friendly alternative to bauxite in producing aluminum for aircraft, vehicles and defense.​
Why France/Denmark? One reason is pointed out by Adam Mockler in is Substack:
After years of trying to intimidate Greenland into a mining deal (remember the “I want to buy Greenland” stunt?), the country has finally signed a 30-year minerals agreement. But not with the United States. They signed with a French firm.​
Why? Because the French didn’t come in like imperial clowns. They came in with a strategy. A real one. They did the boring but essential work: drafting a detailed proposal, following Greenland’s laws, and treating the process with respect. They didn’t posture for the cameras. They negotiated.​


Diplomacy can be way more effective than bullying and insulting.

Well since Denmark, France and by extension Greenland are all in NATO and allies to the USA there is no problem here unless Trump makes one.
