79-Year-Old Trump vs. Reality: Davos Meltdown, Greenland Obsession, and Why It’s Time for the 25th Amendment
79yo Trump at Davos: "We owned Greenland & gave it back!" Reality: Nope, never did. Now he's threatening NATO, freezing EU trade deals, and spiraling into delusion. Time for impeachment or 25th Amendment—before Grandpa annexes your fridge. Cognitive decline or just peak chaos?
Seventy-nine and still trying to annex Greenland like it’s an Airbnb he forgot to check out of, Donald Trump just used Davos to prove he has finally lost the plot—and possibly the map, the compass, and the last functioning neuron in charge of “reality check.” At this point, the choice is pretty simple: impeach him again for weaponized delusion, or dust off the 25th Amendment and admit Grandpa’s not just “online too much,” he’s a constitutional hazard.
79 and obsessed with Greenland
At 79, the president is on a Swiss mountaintop insisting the United States basically “had Greenland and gave it back,” like he’s talking about a lawnmower you lend your neighbor and not someone else’s sovereign territory. Fact-checkers point out the U.S. never owned Greenland; there was a World War II defense agreement, not a “we owned it and then we were too nice to keep it” situation.[
At 79, he assured Davos he “won’t use force” to seize Greenland, which is not actually comforting when you just spent ten minutes describing why you should own it, and the EU responded by freezing a major trade track because they are, officially, done babysitting America’s colonizer LARP. His fixation is now so extreme that Democrats are again talking about the 25th Amendment over a sitting president openly fantasizing about swallowing another country whole.
79 and threatening allies like exes
At 79, he stood in front of the world’s economic elite and warned Europe, NATO, and the UK that “bad things will happen” if they don’t obey his demands on immigration and energy, like a mob boss who wandered into a climate panel. He again claimed the U.S. was “paying almost 100% of NATO” and that he personally forced allies to 5% of GDP, which is not how math, NATO, or reality work; the real commitment is 2% and member states fund their own militaries, not his campaign speeches.
At 79, he is still rewriting history Mid‑Sentence Edition: bragging he alone “fixed NATO,” while European governments quietly respond by putting trade talks on ice, reassessing security ties, and drafting policy for a world where the U.S. president is essentially a loud, heavily armed conspiracy subreddit. When your allies’ main strategic question is “What do we do when the American president goes rogue on live TV again?,” it is no longer a foreign policy “style”—it’s a national security incident.
79 and the Greenland delusion spiral
At 79, Trump is not just joking about Greenland in a late-night monologue; he is outlining an actual plan to make it “part of the new America” while promising the world will be “grateful” once he pulls it off. Key Republicans, including Senator Thom Tillis, are saying out loud that Congress will not back any annexation scheme, which is D.C. code for “we heard the crazy thing he said and no, absolutely not.”
At 79, his Greenland obsession has triggered fresh calls to invoke the 25th Amendment, the legal “In case of emergency, break glass and remove the president” mechanism that hands power to the vice president if the president is no longer fit. That process explicitly isn’t about whether a policy is dumb; it’s about whether the president is mentally capable of doing the job—and floating quasi-imperial land grabs on a world stage while insisting he’s “just being tough” is exactly how you end up in that conversation.
79 and visibly slipping
At 79, Trump is already the oldest president in U.S. history, and experts have been tracking his slide from rambling to incoherent like a very depressing stock chart. Psychologist John Gartner and others point to his fragmented speeches, constant repetition, word salad tangents, and memory lapses as consistent with patterns seen in dementia and organic cognitive decline, not just “he’s tired” or “that’s just how he talks.”
At 79, while he brags about “acing” cognitive tests and being in “perfect health,” outside medical and psychological observers warn that his disordered thinking, fixation on trivial details, and inability to complete thoughts pose a real risk because this particular patient controls nukes, trade policy, and border deployments. Their prognosis is blunt: the decline is likely to get worse, not better, and the risk that he does something catastrophic out of confusion and rage is only going up.
79 and out of constitutional runway
At 79, a president still facing calls for impeachment over abuse of power now also faces open talk of being removed as medically and mentally unfit to serve, with Democrats and even some allies arguing that his behavior has crossed from “bad judgment” into “capacity problem.” Under the 25th Amendment, the vice president and Cabinet can declare him unable to discharge his duties, instantly shifting power while Congress decides whether he ever gets the nuclear codes back.
At 79, the country is not just deciding what it thinks of his policies; it is deciding whether the commander in chief understands reality well enough to be trusted with it at all, as allies freeze deals and domestic critics count how many more unhinged Greenland riffs it will take before someone breaks the emergency glass. Call it impeachment, call it the 25th, call it “an intervention with paperwork”—but keeping a president this detached from reality in power is no longer patriotism; it is negligence on a planetary scale.
