    Greenland just signed a minerals deal with Europe. Will Trump let it get away with this? This is an act of defiance against Trump's threat to take Greenland and its wealth of minerals by force.

    Trump needs to start amassing an invasion force in northern Canada (as soon as he forces Canada to join the Union), then he can blame Greenland for our invasion, just like he has blamed Zelensky for the Russian invasion of Ukraine. (Trump must be right or he wouldn't say it, would he?)

    Greenland signs lucrative minerals deal with Europe in blow to Trump

    I heard that there's also a foreign student at one of Greenland's schools.

    My God, is the student Chinese? We need to go in and drag him out of his hole like we did Saddam Hussein.

    Trump does not like wars- I highly doubt he would send troops into Greenland

    He doesn't even want to call the invasion a war. It could be called Operation Bone Spurs.

    T def hates wars. He has spent a lifetime dodging the mere possibility of being involved in armed conflict.

    He’s always been a coward. I understand the US appeasing a strong superpower like Russia under his weak leadership, but allowing Greenland to piss all over him and disrespect him like this is just embarrassing.

    I heard they have family planning clinics, books, and worst of all, can you believe it... LGBTQ people. Invade immediately if not sooner.

    Right here
    He does hate wars. Except of course economic wars. And culture wars, the war on education, the war on the constitution, and the war on common decency.

    We need an eyeroll tag for posts like these. We aren’t invading Greenland.

    Everything Trump says and does is embarrassing. The Trump administration should be referred to as "The Cringe Years."

    Tell that to President Coy:

    "It’s the latest in Trump’s many comments about seizing control of the resource-rich island, which he insists the US needs for national security purposes."
    “I don’t rule it out, he told NBC News’ Kristen Welker in an interview that aired on Sunday. “I don’t say I’m going to do it, but I don’t rule out anything.”
    "He added that he doubted it would happen – but that the possibility is “certainly” there."

    I agree he's probably just indulging in some bloviating chest-thumping, but who knows what he's capable of doing? Once Harvard kicks his butt, he may turn to Greenland to regain his bully cred.

    Is there any scenario in which America would become a new region of Denmark? I mean, I prefer Lars to Mette... but honestly either would be an improvement over Donald or Joe.

    This thread reads like a coffee table conversation at almost any skilled nursing/assisted living lobby hall.
    They get up every morning and mosey on down to find the rest of the curmudgeons repeating themselves and drooling.

    Why? Cocodrilo was clearly just mocking Trump, not actually believing that Trump would or should invade Greenland.

    Trump insists we need Greenland for national security purposes. His ham-fisted approach to gaining Greenland's cooperation backfired spectacularly, and now we're persona non grata. This could have been a slam dunk if our president wasn't such an atrocious negotiator.

    Then my eyeroll would likewise serve to serve to mock, wouldn’t it? I would say the President has more than enough actual mockworthy things going on right now that we don’t need to pretend an invasion of Greenland is really in the cards.
