to denmark i know you got to keep track of your denials. it is not normal to deny a kax cut is on the table then confirm a tax cut is on the table then deny it and expect any of us take you seriously. it is not normal that we can t take the president seriously because taxes in greenland are just on a long list of things he s tried to reverse. and maybe the most important inconsequential piece of all of it, it is not normal for the republican party to sit back. elected republicans are allowing the president to keep behaving i erratically. and, oh, by the way, conditioning the entire base of the republican party that this is somehow normal behavior. it is not normal that a 30-minute head-spinning press availability has become the normal. i thought that the prime minister s statement that it was absurd, that it was an absurd
