Perhaps the wildest day yet, with Trump suggesting that both economic pressure and military force are potential options to annex Greenland and the Panama Canal, while circulating maps of Canada as a 51st state.

On the ever declining media front, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg announced that fact checking was too “political,” and would be eliminated from the nation’s most used social network, among other changes.

Needles to say, Trump‘s reckless rhetoric both undermines NATO (of which both Canada and Denmark are members), and essentially takes the autocrats’ side in how nations should behave when it comes to territorial temptation. All a huge boost to Russia and China.

As for Zuckerberg, someone needs to introduce him to Hannah Arendt, who explained how the attack on truth works in autocratic systems:

“The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lies will now be accepted as truth, and the truth be defamed as lies, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world—and the category of truth vs. falsehood is among the mental means to this end—is being destroyed."
