The video could be true, but the narrator fails to offer a single bit of verifiable evidence for Trump's words or demeanor.
(The narrator goes on to lambast Trump for leaving the W.H.O., which is an entirely corrupt and criminal organization - which puts this narrator squarely in the camp of deranged leftists who are willing to attack anything that goes against their narrative.)
As a general rule, I don't believe things without appropriate evidence.
And if it's a deranged leftist... I usually need twice as much evidence.

Mr Trump reminds me of an old boss of mine. He would say things just to get a reaction. Is Mr Trump serious? I don't know. One thing for sure, everyone is paying attention. And it's a typical negotiating ploy. Start off with the extreme and end up with less but what you wanted anyway. Time will tell. Columbia has already relented on not taking back illegals.
Mr Trump has four years to make his mark. It seems that he plans to make the most of it, unlike his last time in the White House.
He's not very good at communicating because he has like a second grade vocabulary
What Gideon said is what Trump calls "the art of the deal".
He's basically putting pressure on China and Russia with this rhetoric and he plays a bluff, but if he wins, then you get Greenland.

Psalm 22:28:
"For dominion belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations."
Daniel 2:21:
"He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning."
Deuteronomy 19:14:
"Do not move your neighbor’s boundary stone set up by your predecessors in the inheritance you receive in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess."
Isaiah 2:4:
"He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore."

Mr Trump is playing a game of chess with China. He is trying to prevent communism taking over America because once the super power is gone, the world is ripe for the picking. He sees the long game they are trying to play. Americans attention span is that of a gnat. Maybe one day they will see what he was fighting against and be grateful, but I doubt it.
I do agree with this.
But my issue with the video is that we haven't heard a recording of the call.
No one has.
No one.
None of the people reporting on the call have heard the call.
We have people reporting on what someone said that someone said... and all of the someones are either anonymous or antagonistic to the president.
We quite literally have no idea exactly what happened in the phone call.
Maybe he asked for Greenland very politely, lol.
We really have no idea.
All we know is that people are very upset.
Ya know... if you give someone bad news really politely, they still get angry.
At this point we have no reason to believe the president called screaming and yelling and threatening destruction... there's just nothing to support that at this time.

He's president. You are not. Since the Western education system has quit teaching English, a second grade vocabulary probably suffices.
well, trump went through grade school in the 1950's, so the education system was good back them..
I'm English. I "won" a scholarship to a good school in the UK. It was a boarding school and I hated every minute. I was an avid reader. I eschewed children's books and read the encyclopaedia instead.
I ended up in Australia at the age of 15. I joined the Australian navy. It was a technical branch and you needed a certain education standard and to pass entrance exams. The intake that semester was 120 young men.
Australians in those days knew nothing of political correctness, but all in good humour. Everyone was picked on equally. So I was the pommie whose parents were not married. After a couple of weeks, I realised that most of the young men were bewildered by my choice of words. One comment was, "Did you swallow a dictionary?" So I began to simplify my communications. They were all educated in the same period as myself. I'm now 73.
Compared to the present generation, my peers were erudite linguistic geniuses. Now "grammar" is the little old lady in the nursing home. I read such gems as "I enjoy eating children and dogs." Or, "School for the severely disabled State of Victoria" Spelling. Yes, make me laugh! Wrong use of words? "Cash no longer excepted" What a relief, I left my credit card at home.
I like communism. I'm a communist. I believe capitalism/liberalism goes against the teachings of Jesus Christ. I also believe that Mr. TRUMP is a symptom of the capitalist mode of production in crisis. He is not the saviour. He is a part of the unholy rule of the few and wealthy, he is the enemy of the people.
Jesaja 55:8-9
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord.
"As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts."
James 5:1-6
"Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered... Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth."
Luke 12:15
"Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth."
Proverbs 22:16
"He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want."
Acts 2:44-45
"And all that believed were together, and had all things common; and sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need."
Trump's a liar, plain and simple. He's been going around for years saying the US has been taken advantage of by every other country. This didn't just start, he's been saying it for decades. He's been saying it so long he now believes it's unquestionable fact. Of course, he's the one who will reverse all that and make everyone respect the US again. The only place this fantasy is true is in the Donald's head and in the heads of those who have bought his lies. He's the one who is actually going to alienate us from the rest of the world.
Well, you quote a lot of Bible for someone who is spiritually unsure. But there is no more evil political theory in the world than communism. From the pit of hell itself.
Would you like to elaborate on this statement? Do you genuinely believe that communism is from hell, or is that simply an expression of personal opposition to the ideology? Do you truly understand what communism is, or has someone merely told you that it is bad and evil?
Have you thought about applying for residence in North Korea?
I like your name, my son is also named Eli. I hope you have a pleasant morning/day/evening/night.
I actually have considered moving to a socialist country, especially in moments of disheartening doubt about the political, social, and economic development of my own country. But I know you are thinking about the economic struggles of socialist countries. And you think that this is a cause of a failure of socialism. But you fail to realise the material conditions of these countries. For example the sanctions placed upon them.
Ask yourself this, if socialism is so bad and dysfunctional, then why does the most powerful country, USA, work so hard to keep them poor and marginalized?
Nice to meet you.
Let me give you a quick background.
I was originally born in Albania, during the cold war which was a communist state-sanctioned atheist state.
All i can tell you in a short sentence about communism is : avoid it.
I understand that you young folks today are a bit confused about communism and other political concepts because i was shocked to hear this on some parts of Albania (northern part) where the 20-year old generation wants communism back. Some of them, not all.
I blame the internet for their confusion.
Now, why can't we have a nation or a world based on the teachings and life of Jesus?
Because we can't feed 9 billion people with a loaf of bread and a fish.
This is why the Kingdom of God is in our hearts first, and it's spiritual, then comes the physical part on the second coming where God is going to take care of resources just like He did in the Garden of Eden.
