Trump doesn't GIVE TINKERS DAMN about Tariffs, or "Threats of conflict", or OTHER threats (i.e. leaving NATO)... ALL Trump cares about is getting control of Greenland for NATIONAL Security reasons !
EVERYTHING ELSE is called LEVERAGE... HE CAN do it, if he wants! He STILL COULD if he wants.. AND he MIGHT...

Trump isn't done yet, THIS was just the BEGINNING... it will ONLY end when he GETS what he wants, BECAUSE, in this case.. he is RIGHT to ask for it! FIGHT to do so BEFORE it becomes a World Wide WAR waiting to happen, and the USA is drawn in UNPREPARED... when THAT COULD BE ADDRESSED NOW !!

You don't understand. You are, well, kind of stupid. TRUMP will decide where our Air Defense systems will go on this island to best protect Greenland, and of course America. And I'm pretty sure Greenland will become "part of" America before TRUMP's 3rd term is up.
We have one...about 140 service members....

-----------------------------------------------Under existing agreements with Denmark, the US has the power to bring as many troops as it wants to Greenland. It already has more than 100 military personnel permanently stationed at its Pituffik base in the north-western tip of the territory.But during his speech, Trump suggested he would not be receptive to any agreements on the US use of Greenland that fall short of full ownership."Psychologically, who the hell wants to defend a license agreement or a lease?" he said."[Greenland] is a large piece of ice in the middle of the ocean, where if there is a war, much of the action will take place on that piece of ice."
As much as you are obsessed with Trump your powers of observation are ****. Dum Dum, like many of deals he took the extreme position, in this case making Greenland to finally get what he wanted.

Making Greenland a state would be stupid. They are very socialist and have government subsidies to include housing. They would get two senators who would probably be dems, as well a house member.
The "deal' seems to be some sovereign land for us as well as increasing the the personel in Thule.

the idiot is thou, trump risked ww3 to get what we had along. he gained nothing. nada. zilch.ConservativeWave » 22 Jan 2026, 7:20 am » wrote: ↑ YOU are an IDIOT ! For the following reasons:
1) The USA having a few bases somewhere, and having the authority and responsibility to step in and STOP bad actor like Russia or China moving into Greenland, setting up their own bases, and taking over... are TWO COMPLETELY different things !
2) The USA does NOT currently have the freedom to mine anything in Greenland... they have a few military bases... and that's ALL !
3) IF the USA needed the Rare earth elements under the Greenland ice, they could CERTAINLY mine it... Humans have been deep mining materials under ROCK for years... YOU saying that a few hundred feet of ICE would stop us, is RIDICULOUS !
4) Neither NATO nor Denmark have the capability to fully secure Greenland from the Russians or Chinese trying to take over... the USA DOES !
5) HOWEVER, ALL of that aside... America needs Greenland to build early warning and missile bases there, to be part of Trumps Golden Dome, and to keep America safe should Russia or China EVER try to launch Nucear missiles aginst us..
SO, I REPEAT... YOU are an IDIOT !
It was stunning to hear him talk about the deals he has made that have increased his net worth 273% since January in front of everybody in Davos.Cannonpointer » 22 Jan 2026, 11:37 am » wrote: ↑![]()

The "framework" for the "future deal" is nothing more than a chance for donald trump to walk a way without an L. Not with a W. Just no red L.
He ain't getting Greenland from the "framework," and he ain't getting Greenland from the "future deal." Greenland has ALWAYS been able to defend itself against Russia and China. They joined an alliance called "NATO" which was designed specifically for that purpose. You can google it. So they are not in any security trouble.
Just so ya know? Lithuania and Romania are not threatening Greenland, either. There has only been one threat against Greenland. Just one. And that can be neutralized VERY easily:
Change the name of Greenland to Epstein Island, and the clod that has been threatening it will never mention it again.
RISK WW3?

America has supported NATO for the last 50+ years... and all they do is make promises that they can't keep ! BUT NOW, THIS is something that is CRITICAL for America, as WELL as the world... and Denmark (who can't even take care of themselves), and NATO (who aren't much better)... are going to stand in America's way of protecting themselves, the Western Hemisphere, and NATO itself, by REFUSING us a CRITICALLY located ICE COVERED island, because THEY have an INFLATED view of themselves?
I think Trump made it VERY clear that we value Europe and NATO... but when a CRITICAL NEED of America is NOT taken seriously by them?... Donald Trump did EXACTLY what he SHOULD have done... and EXACTLY WHAT a COMPETENT President of the U.S.A. HAD to do !!
AND YOU? YOU can't UNDERSTAND that? ...WHO'S the IDIOT !!
