Donald Trump announces plans to hit the UK, Denmark and other European countries with a 10% tariff on "all or any goods" exported to the US from 1 February

In a post on Truth Social, the US president says these will remain in place until "such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland"

No surprise there, coming from a more than sketchy business mogul.

One major positive of all this mess has been just how much it's united the left against the federal government. In Minneapolis, far-right grifters are being run out of town by crowds with water balloons and freezing weather, police have by and large in several areas stood back and done nothing to help ICE, and agents are suffering from the effects of being in Minnesota in winter and not being locals. We're talking a whole ass group of Proud Boys from Texas, Louisiana, and Florida learning firsthand just what a real winter is like.

Napoleon looking down and Hitler looking up crying at this true failure of military action.
