In reply to the discussion: Fetterman compares Trump's Greenland talk to Louisiana Purchase [View all]jgmiller
(485 posts)26. This is one of the stupid things Trump does
Someone probably talked to him about all of the resources Greenland has and how it would be great if we controlled it and how bad it would be if say Russia or China did. From there he turned bits and pieces into some kind of insane thing where we have to have it and we will take it.
As you said logically the US having Greenland is a no brainer but that doesn't mean it's possible or logical to do it. Something can be based in fact and still be unrealistic.

He'll claim that China (CHY-na) is planning to take it by force, so he is must act now to protect U.S. security.

Until he eventually follows that up with anything short of a nuke strike is not force.

Unfortunately a stroke can (not always) change a person's personality permanently....
