Trump says U.S. ready for ‘next conquest,’ warns military to remain near Iran until ‘real agreement’ is honored

Trump reiterated that it was agreed that Iran will not develop nuclear weapons, and the Strait of Hormuz will be open and safe for commercial shipping.

“In the meantime our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest,” Trump added. He ended the post, which was published near midnight, with a declaration: “AMERICA IS BACK!”

Oh, dearie me.

The betting would probably be Cuba is the next target, but, since he's cheesed off NATO so thoroughly, how about another go at stealing Greenland?

‘Poorly run, piece of ice’: Trump targets Greenland again as Iran war deepens NATO rift

In a Truth Social post Wednesday evening stateside, Trump said that “NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON’T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN. REMEMBER GREENLAND, THAT BIG, POORLY RUN, PIECE OF ICE!!!”

WTF can one say. Trump is a delusional madman, drunk with power. Exactly what our nation's founders warned us against. And yet...here we are.

Thanks MAGA.

He's a "JC" in empire building mode. We see it often enough: CEO goes nuts buying up companies, with debt, to make his empire bigger. Then the financing starts to unravel and his "empire" collapses. Remember Jimmy Ling, of LTV? Frank Lorenzo at Texas Air/Eastern/Continental?

The net sifter on "empire builders".

A CEO in "empire building" mode prioritizes aggressive expansion, rapid growth, and market domination over short-term profitability, often via acquisitions and scaling. This strategy shifts focus from daily operations to long-term valuation and structural growth. While potentially building immense value, this approach can risk overextension or shareholder value destruction if mismanaged.

Key characteristics of this approach:

Strategic Focus: Moving from "hero operator" to "enterprise designer" to scale beyond $10-30 million.

Growth Tactics: Using M&A (mergers and acquisitions) for vertical integration to capture market share.

Leadership Shift: Delegating tasks to empower a team, moving away from managing minutiae.

Key Traits: High ambition, charisma, and a "2026 era" mindset focused on discipline.

Risks & Perspectives:

The Downside: Critics like Warren Buffett warn that this can become a negative, where managers seek power and growth for their own sake rather than company value.

The Shift: Founders must shift from doing everything themselves to building systems, or risk a plateau at $15M instead of scaling to $150M+.

Operational Mode: "Scale-Ready CEO Mode" emphasizes high-level strategy (12-month problems) over daily fires.


What makes God and Savior Trump unique in this gaggle of jumped up pieces of poo, is the immense amount of money he can extract from we Proles, to finance his empire.
