“The United States has reached out to Denmark…”
You know, the country the United States wants to invade and forcefully take land from.
America: The dumbest rocks in the sock drawer.
Do not help us. This is what we deserve.
💯
What’s ironic is that from all countries he is asking Denmark. Greenland is An autonomous territory under the kingdom of Denmark.
I heard that before asking Greenland he was asking Canada as well.
Is he trying to neg us by threatening our sovereignty and then asking for a favour??? Most high schoolers know better than to fall for that. Like, get real.
I think that’s the point. Bullying/Threatening countries and then “asking” them for help. Then if they don’t oblige he uses it to booster support for the bullying and threats. Similar ordeal with cutting aid to Egypt and then asking them to take something like 1.5 million people in from Gaza that Trump doesn’t want on their homeland.
I think you meant “kingdom of Denmark” there, but yeah
Fixed, thank you
We don’t recognize monarchies as valid governments here.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
Sincerely,
An egged-up Australian

Canada here. Our eggs are cheap.
You want em?
Take your trade war agression and shove it up your ass!
You want to take our sovereignty away?
…starve.
<intentionally drops an egg while smiling>
Brb going to throw eggs across the border
Aim for a Tesla
Genuinely, fuck us over as hard as you can.
I know about Type 2 “Sorry”, but there are an absolute shitload of idiots down here who don’t.
For those who don’t know, Canada has two types of “Sorry”.
The first is “I’m sorry for what I did.”
And the second is “I’m sorry for what I’m about to do.”
That’s the one that usually ends up adding new entries to the Geneva Conventions.
shitload of idiots
I might agree to ship Canadian eggs to the US…
The Kinder Surprise ones, that is.
I’m assuming the bottom 30% dumbest of the US population would instantly die from choking on the toy inside.I mean that’s why they’re still banned in the US
Apparently it’s only American kids that are at risk of these things.
You want eggs? Fucking take em
<proceeds to throw eggs across the border like baseballs>
triple charge for eggs.
Denmark, from who they want to steal Greenland. They are obviously terminally stupid in Washington.
Help? Help? What happened to wanting to be a proud independent country that don’t need no allies.
Maybe Russia has some eggs they can lend in these trying times.
I’ll take a couple of them Fabergé eggs.
This is why we HAD allies. Had. To assist with the largesse we consume as Americans. You don’t get to swing your orange dick around at the world, offending and assaulting every ally, and then ask for help.
Citizen of the United States here. Don’t. Assume whatever this orange anal fistula offers to pay will in fact not be paid. Assume whatever agreement brokered will immediately be ignored or violated. Assume this pus filled clementine will still try to “take” Greenland.
Let this shithole 3rd world country burn. It asked for fascism in the form of egg prices, let them deal with their egg prices.
As a Canadian, the US can have my eggs on the condition of the delivery method being lobbing them over the border at official government buildings.
Ok that’s fair
Also a Yank. At this point we really do deserve the punishment. I just hope that when we get a new administration in a little less than four years the world has a shred of sympathy for us.
Unfortunately Europe can’t wait four years for the US to start taking their responsibilities on the world stage seriously again. Russia will almost certainly move within that time, so Europe is now having to build up its defenses in a way that they’ve never previously had to do since the 1940s. Assuming the US does come around (that is a big “if”) by that point Europe will have already got used to using its own military. The US will no longer be required.
I really don’t see any way that things can now go back to the way they were. Trade will, but I think the days of cooperative military action are over. If you guys get embroiled in another pointless war in the Middle East, I think you’re going to have to do that on your own.
Trade well not go back to normal in four years. How could you ever trust any sort of deal singed by America? I sure hope we get more tech companies globally out of this and we stop selling them to American companies.
Trade is unlikeky to return. There was a short us-eu tariffs War during Trumps first presidency. I think it was on fruit. The buyers found suppliers in other countries and havent returned.
This time around the eu tariff warriors are going for about 100 times as much in tariffs and are attacking republican mainstays, such as louisiana (som beans) where the republican speaker Mike Johnson got his mandate.
Trump will rage and consider it election interference. We will snicker and ignore that.
At the moment, you definitely do. Most of you, and not just Trump voters. Why are you guys so fucking passive? Where are the millions of people protesting on the streets? Where’s the civil disobedience? The strikes? With the attitude the Americans show currently, there will be no elections in 4 years, hell, there might not even be mid-term elections in 2
The news media here are owned. Those things are happening, but they’re not being reported.
So, millions of people are protesting?
I’ve gone to the protests. Sadly, millions are not protesting.
Everybody here is paycheck-to-paycheck. Missing work because you were illegally detained at a protest may be the difference between living in a crappy apartment, or living under a bridge.
Part of the 2025 playbook is to get trump unlimited unchecked power, and use the military to enforce it domestically. Riots in the streets would certainly do that.
Right now, trump is doing more harm to his constituents than to his enemies. Republican politicians can barely show their faces in their own distric here. Don’t give them another target to transfer that hate to.
Truth.
I’ve got kids and pets and I work with kids at an emergency shelter. Getting locked up means I could lose my job, which means I’d lose my shelter and my pets, maybe my kids…all because I decided to protest something that no politician in my area will even pay attention to.
I do protest sometimes, but I’m waiting. When there are things I can help with, I do that. But I’m not traveling several hours to get to a protest so I can get beat by cops, arrested, and potentially lose everything. This is a marathon, not a sprint…and I need to be able to help those who are already being left behind.
But my heart is with those who can protest. I share their stories when I see them. I make signs for them and have a kit to help anyone who gets hurt during a local protest. I walk and protest myself when I’m able…but yeah, I can’t go to every single one.
I don’t know what’s happening everywhere else but I’m joining protests in my area when they pop up. It really isn’t being reported to diminish dissent
Kudos to you for doing your part. It’s just so disappointing to see how you guys are the minority fighting an uphill battle and how so little support comes from the Democrats or any other powerful organization
What about social media? The news media isn’t censoring Lemmy, why aren’t protestors at least sharing photos and videos here to get the word out?
It will only take two years if people actually fucking vote in the midterms. But midterm turnout is historically… Well… Complete dogshit. And republicans are statistically more likely to vote in midterms.
That’s why Trump is moving so fast to try and secure things; He doesn’t truly have four years to cement himself as god-emperor. He only has two before he potentially loses his majority in congress. So he has to be crowned before then.
But even with that being said, I don’t have high hopes. As I said before, republicans are more likely to vote in midterms. Maybe Trump’s antics will be enough to get some blue voters off of their asses. But at this point, I’m not holding my breath.
They rigged the election through gerrymandering. They have had this planned for a long time. We are not playing the same game anymore.
I hope that you get a new administration in a little less than 4 years.
The Republicans aren’t destroying the rule of law and hand absolute power to the presidency, just to give it to the opposition on the next occasion.

He said he wishes for things to get better, though.
I’m a US citizen and I agree with them 100%. A bunch of us tried to tell everyone that Trump was a fascist dumpster fire that would try to make himself king, trash the economy and violate everyone’s civil and human rights. A bunch of ding dongs voted for him anyway. Now he’s making outlandish and insulting demands of our allies, fucking up trade and markets (along with abusing the civil and human rights of some protesters, asylum seekers and random travelers, oh, and throwing Ukraine under the bus and encouraging a fucking measles outbreak). So yeah, I don’t want my house and retirement savings to go into the shitter if the country goes full Nazi and I have to flee with nothing. So maybe if some folks have to do without eggs and cheap imports for a while they just might maybe learn that we need to pull the US out of this tailspin before it’s too late. Some fucking people just will not listen when you tell them the stove is hot. So now we all suffer while they touch the red hot burner and go “Duho, that hurts!”
Ask Canada… oh, wait!
WOMP WOMP WOMP, EH?
Just picked up 2 dozen local eggs for $9.99CAD.
Fuck kinda pricey bud. Where abouts?
Local farmers market in 'Berta.
Ya farmer’s markets are kinda pricey, eh?
I go downtown to FreshCo and it’s $3 CAD per dozen, bud.
Better conditions for animals cost money. I’d rather no one eat eggs, but it’s an improvement. Infustrial faming is a travesty.
I’ll pay extra to tell the guy who gathered the eggs i appreciate him.
Oh ya! The fancy ones. They’ll cost.
I get Farm eggs, local, at my Grover for 3.79 doz. I can get the regular big corporate ones for 2.99-3.99 depending on where/day/etc.
That’s about $3 USD per dozen. Maybe not as cheap as it used to be in America, but closer than it is now. And from a farmers market, no less.
As a true American, don’t help us with eggs, it’l hurt your country in the long run. Let us suffer so we can get our heads out of our asses and purge the nazis.
So Trump can’t get it under control. Got it.
Well, he solved it on day one.
On day two, eggs went unexpectedly expensive again. It’s not his fault.
“You will become part of the US.”
two days later…
“Bro my egg prices are high, can you help a brotha out?”
Oh now Trump wants allies?
Recognize the passive voice: “The US has reached out”. They don’t say Trump reached out or the Trump administration reached out.
Hilarious. The US reaching out to the people they’ve insulted, threatened or victimized in some way, shape or form and asking them for help. And when they get refused, they’ll tell the American people that everyone is being so mean to them.
That’s what happens when the country is led by someone who has never faced consequences fir anything
Air delivered eggs from another continent, surely they’re going to be cheap. If only there were at least two neighboring countries that could be able to send them for cheaper…
Unfortunately they have totally unpreventable tariffs right now. I said totally unavoidable. No way to prevent it.
Very sad, very sad
Everyone’s saying it.
👐🏼
😆
Why would anyone want to help ?
For profit.
Trump Says “We Don’t Need Products From Canada”. Repeatedly said in recorded interviews.
I would love to see NATO countries (besides the US) band together and say:
”We will come together to support our great ally, so long as she saves herself. Upon the acceptance of President Trump’s and Vice President Vance’s resignation, we will provide the aid that our friend needs."
Trump could, in fact, be the hero here. He could walk away from the presidency with a win. For added measure, these countries could write lofty and wonderful articles about Trump’s selflessness.
We know he won’t.
Aside: I’m not saying Mike Johnson would make a good president. But let’s take this one thing at a time.
“On this trade war that HE started…”
Ok… but then it’d be truth for once 😅
Honestly, I love this idea. Why aren’t America’s former allies calling for the resignation of Trump and Vance? Let the American people know that if they want cheaper eggs, and better trade deals, they’re going to have to find a way to get rid of these traitors who have seized power.
I thought the US didn’t need anything from anyone else? Isn’t that what you said?
