    It’s dangerous, yes, but why put any weight on anything he says? He lies all the time. If Trump says a boulder is about to fall on my head I wouldn’t believe it. Beyond that I don’t really care much about “American discourse” if it doesn’t involve getting rid of Trump.

      Because it’s not just about him. It’s about the fact that nobody is reining him in. There were supposed to be all sorts of checks and balances in the American system of government but apparently they either don’t work at all or congress is okay with the president threatening to forcibly annex former allies because he wants their territory.

      That tells us a lot about America and gives us plenty of things to think about long after Trump’s dead and buried.
