President-elect Donald Trump wouldn’t rule out a war with the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and a hostile takeover of Greenland, owned by Denmark, during a press conference Tuesday.

    This is just an example of a reporter manufacturing a headline. Everyone knows Trump will never rule out military action in literally any situation (ruling out military action is for pussies) so any reporter can ask him “will you rule out military action in order to ___” and the answer is always no, and they get the headline they want. Trump is a moron but the press love him, for this reason.

    The next 4 years is going to consist of Trump loudly shouting nonsense, the press eating it up, and the GOP doing all sorts of horrendous but far more consequential stuff in the background.
