CLIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES (8/8/2025)

GOOGLE AI Overview (edited)

• purports to detail revisions to the Voting Rights Act

• tone and content suggest political satire or misinformation, not a factual news report

GOOGLE AI Overview (edited)

satirical newspaper headline 

• "TROMPE" is a play on "Trump," referencing "trompe l'oeil," an artistic technique that creates an illusion

• "THREATENS HE WILL NUKE OSLO IF NOT VOTED NOBEL" exaggerates the idea of demanding recognition, associating it with extreme threats for a peace prize ... Oslo is where Nobel Peace Prize is awarded

• "Ruined Radioactive Country To Be Handed To Denmark In 'Very Fair Exchange' For Greenland" references Trump's interest in purchasing Greenland from Denmark

• 'I EPITOMIZE PEACE BIGLY' uses "bigly," a term associated with Trump

• 'No Further Claims (Except Canada) In North Hemisphere', Australia, New Zealand Next pokes fun at the notion of territorial expansion

Numb. 1298 Mafia Donnie

Speaking to the Financial Times, officials said that Trump, then still president-elect, spoke with [Danish PM Mette] Frederiksen for 45 minutes last week, during which he was described to be aggressive and confrontational about Frederiksen’s refusal to sell Greenland to the US. — Guardian

Say I make an offer Danes can’t refuse.

And if they do? I win, they lose.

What happens then, is outta my hands.

Denmark's with Hoffa in Meadowlands.

I’m distressed. I send card wid flowers:

So long, old pal. I wudda built towers.

Numb. 1269 The Game Changer Strikes (Again!)

“Greenland” should be its own separate country.
(Though completely controlled by US.)
I doubt that Danes would dare the effrontery
to completely ignore IMHO request.
Being part AND apart should make “Greenies” smile and
since it’s not green we will call it “TRUMP Island”.

Calling me “Mr. President”

somehow sounds irrelevant.

I cannot bear irrelevancy.

From now on call me “Your Sexcellency”.

Oh, and no more escaping

bowing and scraping.

Such a small thing,

kissing my ring.

So don't make a fuss,

respect my orifice.

Numb. 1266 No Comment?

I

In Elon's first job here he worked illegally

so why don't we deport him immediately?

II

Danes complain of my perfect behavior in

regard to Greenland? Dumb Scandinavians.

— DJT

III

If robocars are really THAT safe,

why not run them in Indy 500?

Human pit crews: vassals and serfs,

and drivers rendered redundant.

IV

NYT v FOX
All the news that’s fit to print
Damnable lies discreetly disguised

V

The Sun should be honored

when we call it “The Donald"

to help us remember

where the TRUE center is.

Numb. 1252 Trump Foreign Policy — Day 1 Daydream

Like Danes or Panes could ever fight me?

Dumb-ass small countries — they can go bite me.

Me, Putin, Xi, we got us nukes.

Say “José" or “Hamlet" put up their dukes ...

Ten seconds. Knockout. Victory, me.

Greenland, Canal? Totally free.

Since I easily defeated Kamala,

it's only fair that I take Canada.

Have I got other claims territorial?

Wait'll I Finnish Third Reich tutorial.

Numb. 1203 Trump Geopolitics No. 1

China will take over Taiwan

the moment Trump is sworn in.

He's assured Xi, “I will be calm."

(Formosan people look Chinese to him.)

He’ll send US forces to help in Ukraine.

To fight alongside North Koreans.

(“Ukraine", he told Putin, “rhymes with Hussein,

so I am okay with killing civilians.")

When first as president

he proposed buying Greenland,

Denmark laughed in his face.

(He believes above precedents

will allow him to grab this icy, unseen land

as soon as he putts the Danes in their place.)
