Trump Admin goes on BIZARRE RANT over GREENLAND

Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian dissect Stephen Miller's unhinged CNN interview with Jake Tapper about Greenland, questioning what happened to Miller as a child to create such anger. Miller declared "the world is governed by strength, force, and power" and insisted "Greenland should be part of the United States," refusing to rule out military action. Tapper pressed him on what right Denmark has to Greenland, and Miller went on a rant that left Tapper saying "I don't even know what you're talking about." Brian provides historical context: Greenland has been part of Denmark since 1721 (missionary Hans Egede's expedition) and formally since the 1814 Treaty of Kiel—over 200 years. Shant adds that Greenland is protected by NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization created in 1949 after WWII to prevent another catastrophic war, of which the U.S. is a member. Miller questions Denmark's claim while ignoring that the U.S. already has military presence there and extensive access through agreements. Republican Senator Thom Tillis condemned Miller's statements as "amateurish," "absurd," and said "I'm sick of stupid," calling for advisors who promoted takeover to be fired. Brian believes Miller is Trump's brain on these issues—Trump is a grifter motivated by financial benefit, but Miller is the true believer with a "heart of darkness" driving MAGA policy. The hosts note Miller's documented high school campaign to throw trash on the ground "because that's what janitors are paid for" and referring to classmates' parents as janitors. Brian suggests Miller needs psychiatric evaluation, joking he could be placed on a 72-hour mental health hold under California's 5150 code if he returns to the state. Both suspect Miller's rage stems from being bullied and seeking revenge. Bernie Sanders called Miller's statement "a very good definition of imperialism." The hosts emphasize this represents an authoritarian fever dream rejecting 80 years of international law and NATO principles.
