Donald Trump said Friday his administration will take action on Greenland “whether they like it or not,” further escalating his rhetoric as he pushes to acquire the Danish territory for the U.S.
The comments came during a meeting with oil executives to discuss the prospect of doing business in Venezuela. Less than a week earlier, the U.S. military invaded the oil-rich South American nation and captured its leader, Nicolás Maduro.
Denmark and its European allies in NATO – the military alliance co-founded by the U.S. – have pushed back, reiterating that Greenland is not for sale. But the Trump administration nevertheless says it is currently weighing a range of options on Greenland, including utilizing the U.S. military or cutting a deal to purchase it from Denmark.
Nasty Guy.
When you’re famous they let you do it?
Oh, so that’s his morality.
Can you imagine the outrage if Biden said the things Trump has over the past, say, 72 hours?
They would’ve eaten Biden alive for saying virtually anything trump has said.
Trump and his administration deserve to be kirked.
I don’t wanna start any drama or anything, but here’s my .02. I can see this thing going completely sideways.
Do you want to get coalitioned? Because this is how you get coalitioned
By whom though?
I can’t see Australia joining in a fight against USA when China is an ever present issue and they’re our only hope if China decides they’d rather have Australia.
Similarly, I can’t see UK actually joining a military action against USA.
I can’t see South America going to bat for European insterests, even if it’s against USA, similar for Africa.
Middle East will watch laughing.
Which really leaves mainland Europe, which will probably splinter along the lines of whether Germany or France gets to be the leader of the Coalition.
Mainland Europe stood aside as Putin invaded their backyard. This inaction was not lost on the American fascists. See where we’re at today?
(And I am not excusing America’s lack of action, but FFS, we can’t do it ALL. And certainly can’t now…)
Maybe Europe needs to consider bombing Trump
Abduct him and put him on trial in a European country. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Please do it, and put out international warrants for his henchmen, especially PeeWee Himmler. They’ll never be able to leave America again. They can spend all their vacations at Dollywood.
Please don’t hit DC or anywhere else really. DC especially is super cool and voted like 95% against him.
He spends more time at Mar a Lago anyways
yeah Florida is completely fine, like… yall can take the whole state if you want
I mean D.C. Doesn’t even have representatives in the union though, right?
Yeah they’ve already got a shit situation, don’t make it worse for them. There have been more and more serious talks about moving the actual federal district to only a few blocks around the Capitol and White House buildings, and for DC to be absorbed into MD or VA, but no one seems to be happy about it. It has more people than 2 other states, yet has no Senators or Reps.
He really doesn’t want those Epstein files to come out, that say he raped a bunch of little girls. He really, really doesn’t want them out. Someone better leak them if they care about world order.
The important thing about Greenland is that less than 1% of the Epstein files were released by the deadline.
I consider this trope to be cover for Trump. Evil people are perfectly capable of multiple evils.
It’s the only way to remind conservatives.
Conservatives aren’t reading these comments
I’m adding ‘danish intelligence releases Epstein files’ to my bingo card. The rest of it is all bullshit anyway.
He is madman
He’s a mad fool being steered by evil madmen like Stephen Miller.

wormtongue would be jd vance, and thiel ironically has palintir to control wormtongue over with.
Vance probably has no power what so ever, it’s most likely Stephen Miller in Trump’s ear.
Two things can be true
It’s mad men all the way down.
Oops! All shit heads!
Don Draper would never.

PeeWee Himmler
If they had any balls at all, potential Democratic hopefuls for 2028 should be announcing now,
“If Trump takes Greenland or any other country’s land, I’ll give it back immediately if elected.”
"If Trump takes Greenland or any other country’s land, I’ll give it back
That’s not really what happens, from what I’ve observed. I think once a policy has been woven into action, it’s difficult to unpick all of the new dependencies and go backwards without wasting a tremendous amount pf resources. Most of what Trump has been doing is probably here to stay. The Democrats are super neutral on everything. there’s almost nobody pushing to the left.
Panama Canal
Hong Kong
Germany
All the Soviet Iron Curtain countries
Afghanistan
Lots of nuances, nothing is a black & white perfect analogy
The US has given up captured territories before. Including the Panama Canal Zone, the Philippines, Cuba, and others.
if people had any balls at all, they would abandon the traitorous democratic party
Trumps whole thing is throwing grenades and leaving others to deal with a fallout. No matter what happens with Greenland he’s irreprably damaged the USs alliances everywhere. The possibility the US is fickle enough to invade an ally and then undo it in 4 years is insane. Any successor to trump that wants to backtrack needs to sort out the rampant unchecked power of the office, not to mention the lack of accountability at so many levels of the government.
Asshole
He’s just doing Putin shit at this point. he’s trying to set up his legacy before he leaves office and shits his pants
he has to parrot putins point of “geopolitics” otherwise the PEE TAPES COME OUT.
“we are going to do something about greenlind like or not, to distract from the epstein files naming me too many times as a sex pervert”- whats trump really saying.
