Political analysts and observers alike were shocked on Saturday after Donald Trump launched a new economic attack on an ally.

The president over the weekend took to Truth Social to declare an attack on Denmark.

"We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that!" Trump wrote. "Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake. On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet."

He went on to announce, "Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America."

"On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland. The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused," Trump added.

The tirade didn't sit well with numerous onlookers, such as MS NOW national security analyst Barry R McCaffrey.

The expert wrote, "These are the actions of an unstable dictator governing by whim."

"Did Congress get consulted on seizing or buying Greenland?" he added. "Trump has wrecked our global reputation. We are seen as a rogue nation."

Covie, who has 160.4K followers, chimed in with, "Europeans told him that Greenland is not for sale so he's punishing American consumers with higher prices???"

Rep. Don Beyer, a Democrat, replied, "Trump has no legal authority to tariff American allies to bully them into backing his brainless attempt to seize Greenland."

"This is against the law, it’s a total disaster for America, and Republicans in Congress and the Supreme Court need to find their spines and stop it," Beyer wrote.

Investor Katie Jacobs Stanton weighed in with, "I don’t know how our country rebuilds trust with our allies after all this chaos. The damage to our reputation and relationships is increasing and only makes us less safe and isolated. Come on Congress, stand up and show some courage."

Rep. Marcy Kaptur said, "Military threats on NATO allies and tariffs that raise prices on hard working Americans and NW Ohio manufacturers have to stop. We need a united front and new sanctions against Russia — not mob extortion tactics against our friends to seize their land!"

'Shocking new evidence': Ex-prosecutor pounces on ICE victim's unexplained bullet wounds

Recent revelations in the case involving Renee Nicole Good, who was shot and killed by an ICE agent, could explain "counter-intuitive" bullet wounds found on the victim, according to a former homicide prosecutor.

Glenn Kirschner, an ex-prosecutor who for years led a team specifically charging people with murder, posted a video in which he breaks down "shocking new evidence" from New York Times.

In Kirschner's video, called "Shocking New Evidence in the Homicide of Renee Good!" the analyst reviews NYT's recent piece about Good's injuries.

"It was a surprise to many when The New York Times reported that Renee Good suffered four gunshot wounds at the hands of ICE officer Jonathan Ross," according to Kirschner's video. "These finding were curious for two reasons: first, the video footage seems to show only three shots fired by Ross, and second, two of the bullet wounds were listed as being in the right, chest area of Ms. Good."

Kirschner explains his extensive experience reading autopsy reports and prosecuting murders, and then flags how Good could have ended up with bullet entry wounds on the right side of her body when the agent was on her left.

"I have seen, unfortunately, too many videos of people being shot and killed," he said, explaining that bullets hitting a person can change their position. He used the example of someone trying to block shots with their hands and still being shot in the head, and how that would be two entry wounds with just one bullet.

"After the first shot... we don't know if Renee Good ended up bending down this way with her head toward the driver's door, with shots coming in and hitting her in the right side of the chest," Kirschner said, mimicking a move to slump down. But even that, he says, doesn't show any definitive proof of anything.

Kirschner says the government should conduct an investigation, but noted it "looked like excessive force" to his eyes.

'Bleeding from the head': Jan. 6 rioter claims to be 'stabbed' by protester in Minneapolis

Right-wing provocateur Jake Lang, who was given a pardon by Donald Trump after attacking Capitol cops with a baseball bat on Jan. 6, claims to have been stabbed while leading a counter-protest in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

We reported earlier in the day that Lang would lead his own protest march in the city that has been turned into a battleground over the president’s brutal immigration policies.

Hours later, conservative figure Collin Rugg reported, "Conservative activist Jake Lang allegedly stabbed by a violent rioter in Minneapolis, seen bleeding from his head."

"Lang was seen on camera getting beaten by a violent mob outside City Hall. Lang then attempted to flee from the scene by getting in a red sedan before protesters tried ripping him from the car to get him back on the street," Rugg then wrote. "'I just got stabbed by a crazie white commie leftist rioter today in Minnesota...' Lang said on X. 'Plate carrier blocked it…' Horrific."

Investigative reporter Chuck Ross quickly pointed out, "This 'conservative' influencer fought Capitol police with a bat and shield on Jan. 6, and just the other day did Nazi salutes at an anti-AIPAC protest."

"So gonna need to see what happened leading up to this incident today," Ross then added Saturday.

For its part, the New York Times reported the story Saturday as, "Conservative Influencer Chased From Minneapolis Streets by Counterprotesters."


Stephen Miller ridiculed after his 'moronic' comment seen as permission to 'beat him up'

White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller was ridiculed over the weekend after one of his interview answers was seen as an argument in favor of beating him up.

Miller went on Fox News on Friday, where he was discussing Denmark and Trump's desire to seize Greenland.

"Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory," the Trump insider said.

But that didn't sit well with observers, many of whom pointed out how antiquated the logic was.

One prominent responder was fellow Republican, Rep. Don Bacon, who chimed in, "This is 1890s thinking. He evidently doesn’t know about WW2 and the Cold War, and America’s role. Might does not make right. Right makes might."

Journalist David Phinney simply asked, "WTF is he talking about?"

Former Pentagon insider Jim Townsend said, "Miller misses the point that Greenland is defended by NATO, not just by Denmark. If Russia or China were to threaten Greenland they would have 32 nations, including the US, come to its defense."

Ex-prosecutor Ron Filipkowski added, "This guy is basically inviting China to take Taiwan. Our government is in the hands of psychotic morons."

Political commentator Alicia Smith chimed in, "Denmark is a strong NATO ally and if Greenland was attacked, NATO would defend U.S. has a military presence there not to defend for free, but because Denmark is a strong ally and agreed to allow us to have a presence in the arctic. Just a complete backwards view of the world."

Author John Fugelsang noted, "Stephen Miller gives the moral-logic argument for bigger, stronger men to beat up Stephen Miller and take his stuff."
