Trolling but also sending a message. Give us Greenland, or we take it all.

He is unequivocally the biggest psychological mastermind of his time.

He knows they will take everything he says as fact. He can play puppet strings all day as long as they take everything at face value.

No doubt! I have been critical of him causing a leftwing victory in Canada when the conservatives were poised for a big win. But now Alberta is petitioning for separation. If that happens I’ll be eating crow…happily.

I don’t really know what his end game is here. He cannot get an annexation vote through the congress. Thus, what is the point?

I’m not a trumpkin at all.

I carry the truth no matter who is the subject of conversation. I watch what he does then watch people like you eat it up and then go to your messages boards.

The dude has been drumming yalls faces with his cock for a while now.

He’s had enough time to learn 46 and 2 by Tool on his personal drum set.

Honestly this dude is getting exhausting by the day. It's going to be very hard to take him seriously on anything. Give us a stronger economy, lower prices, affordable healthcare, etc instead of Greenland. What are we supposed to do with all that wasteland, melt the ice and drink it???

The guy has nothing but a ball of silly string between his ears. It’s not much more than a personal impulse.

In an interview with The New York Times this month, he framed it in terms of personal desire. Asked why ownership was important instead of just fortifying Greenland, he said, “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success.” Asked if he meant psychologically important for himself or psychologically important for the country, he said, “Psychologically important for me.”

Trump seems to be a megalomaniac (it could be a strategic act). He's also incredibly driven and talented. As a supporter, I think the vast majority of issues President Trump pushes are for the betterment of the country.

Greenland is a case in point. I believe that Trump’s chief motivation is to fulfill some psychological need. I think also that ownership of Greenland would benefit the United States.

Ownership of all the rare earth mines in the world would also benefit the benefit the United States…when you look at it in isolation that way. When you don’t look at it in isolation what would be the consequences of us conquering all that land?

... and this "act" is no exception. Bessent spoke about this in Davos.

Here's a great take by Sundance that sums it up.

quote:

Treasury Secretary Bessent Delivers Remarks from Davos

January 20, 2026 | Sundance

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is in Davos ahead of President Trump’s visit on Wednesday and Thursday. Secretary Bessent was asked by the assembled media about current administration policy toward Greenland.

What most people don’t understand about the strategically worded letter to Norway’s leftist Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, is how President Trump has just framed Støre as the defacto head of Brussels, representing the interests of the EU toward the framework of Greenland.

It’s not about the Nobel Peace Prize; it’s something far bigger. President Trump did not initiate contact with PM Støre; the contact was first made by Støre calling President Trump to notify him that their position was to defend Greenland against any threat from a non-NATO nation. President Trump asked how Norway was going to secure that pledge and Støre had no response.

Trump is correct; we cannot abdicate our own security to the promises of other nations. This perspective not only applies toward the USA but also applies toward the EU and is the entire reason why Trump has told NATO they need to be able to defend themselves.

Norway said it cannot defend itself from Russian threats and needs the security of the U.S. Accepting this statement Trump rightly asks: if you cannot defend yourself then how can you possibly defend Greenland. Støre had no reply.

President Trump is unwilling to accept platitudes and statements in lieu of structural reality. Prime Minister Støre previously said, “Norway’s position is firm: Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Norway fully supports the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark. There is broad agreement in NATO on the need to strengthen security in the Arctic, including in Greenland.”

In context President Trump’s position makes a great deal of pragmatic sense.
President Trump will not abdicate vital USA strategic security on the hope that NATO will defend our interests if needed.

In fact, the quagmire and inability of Europe to defend a European country like Ukraine proves the pragmatic point. If Europe cannot organize strategic defense of Ukraine, then why the heck would Trump believe Europe would organize the strategic defense of Greenland.

Denmark cannot protect itself from China and/or Russia. Why would the United States believe Denmark could protect Greenland?
