'Somebody Slap Me And Wake Me The F**k Up': Jasmine Crockett Pans 'Nightmare' Trump Speech
HuffPost
The Texas Democrat offered an unfiltered response to the president's speech in Congress.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) called out President Donald Trump as “really psychotic” for saying the United States would gain control over Greenland “one way or the other.”
“I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland,” she told Adam Mockler of the progressive MeidasTouch Network following Trump’s Tuesday speech before a joint session of Congress. “Why are we fighting with Greenland? We’re fighting with Canada, we’re fighting with Mexico, yet we’re in love with Putin? What is happening? Like, this is not America. This is a terrible nightmare. Somebody slap me and wake me the fuck up because I’m ready to get on with it.”
Trump said during his speech that he supports Greenland’s right to determine its own future and that it would be welcomed into the United States if it chose to do so.
But then his comments took a turn.
“We need [Greenland] really for international world security, and I think we’re going to get it,” he said. “One way or the other, we’re going to get it.”
