Or, hear me out, we leave Greenland alone and mend ties with Denmark who has been a steadfast ally for decades.
(Also, perfectly reasonable.)
Remember “Domino Theory”? How we were told Communism was sweeping the planet, overthrowing countries and co-opting their governments one at a time until they ran the whole show? Kinda ironic in hindsight, almost like it was projection the whole time…
Oil,that's what he means by national security. Dear Americans please get rid of that cancer you call potus. General strikes is what you can do.
TBF, he also means strategic expansionism. (The Arctic is playing an ever greater role in geopolitics, as the ice melts)
They'll just find another great american to replace him
Venezuela, Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal…what other countries is he after flailing about in his shitty-flex foreign policy?
Nigeria.
Deeeeeeeestract!
It's working. Most Americans are just that dim..
Or single issue voters… feels like he’s thinning the herd.
My conspiracy theory with this Greenland thing: Those in power now are deliberately destroying the world so it can be "rebuilt the right way". Greenland is in a position on the globe to become quite a pleasant climate. Once the ice melts it will be one of the best places on earth to live. Not to mention the huge amount of natural resources that will become available. Its also currently a politically isolated area, so when WW3 wipes out half the population it will most likely remain untouched. (Though tbf if trump makes moves on it that wont be the case). I don't think the current admin is even really aware of why Greenland is important, save for a few people who implemented project 2025.
removes foil hat
to add: when the polar ice caps melt it will be positioned directly in a newly available shipping route
This is not just Trump at this point. No American is standing up for their ally Denmark. This is disgusting and involves all Americans. Stop buying their shitty weapons.
Stop buying all their products.
You wouldn't buy a can of beans grown and packed by the Nazis, or firewall security software from Russia. I actively stopped buying any American products in the store when I Trump won both times.
Fuck tyrants.
No American is standing up for their ally Denmark. This is disgusting and involves all Americans.
What? This very much does not involve all Americans.
Most Americans despise this asshole and have no interest in invading Greenland, and plenty see it as a horrific betrayal.
Show me one American politician who is standing up for Denmark and Greenland right now
IMHO saying "this involves all Americans" is valid, and not an attack against every single one.
No means no, Donald.

As an anti-war person, I will fight for Greenland’s autonomy.
He also claimed the US was there 300 years ago. "We were there with boats too I'm sure." (Refrencing Greenland) Piped Reuters
What is his obsession with that place?
Oil, but also geopolitics.
As the ice continues to melt, the Arctic will be an important (shorter) shipping root. This is already happening, and Russia is in a powerful position there.
Of course the current administration of Greenland/Denmark/EU is also aware of this, it's not like we're leaving the Arctic to the Russians.
Big on map
Oil probably
Taco!
