Why does Rump want Greenland?

Notice how Rump is pulling out of every initiative to stop Global Warming? Notice how the US is running low on water and the fires and excessive heat each year.
He knows that soon Canada will become a haven and the US will become a danger zone from the heat.
Greenland is currently frozen, but in 30 years it will be completely thawed. A wonderful place to own land. He won't be around to see it, but perhaps his grand kids will.
Taking Canada now would not look good politically since we are still too friendly. He needs a war to get it, he needs Canada to be an enemy to the US, and taking Greenland will achieve that.
Once the fighting starts between Canada and US, then he is free to take over Canada.

Perhaps Greenland should join Canada before the fighting begins. That would take Rump's cards off the table.

Greenland has a lot of rare earth deposits that are unmined currently. And America has made a virtue of destroying its trade relationships with China, the largest supplier. America has discovered its advances in tech require those rare earths for the next step in computing and the like.
But its all about to backfire on America. Other NATO members are linking arms (literally) and preparing to unlink economies from America like Canada is doing as well as sourcing future military contracts from non US supplied, costing America tens of Billions in one of is most lucrative export industries. "Own Goal"😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Your predictions seem likely

@ArtieKat In this case I am only collating what has already been factually reported (as opposed to opinion) Predicting how America will react is getting more difficult, as Trumps reactions are illogical in the extreme and so little of what he says has any connection to what happens..But one thing is clear. Everyone is going to end up worse off apart from a few rich people. Interesting, possibly connected side point. Several of Americas largest privately owned corporations are about to launch IPOs this year. Whats the connection? Previous IPO history suggests a cash grab by the owners (Including Musks "Space X") before the bum falls out of their value. Which would happen if America tanked.. Now THATS a prediction...😷

@whowasthatmaskedman if america tanked now at least it be on the watch of the most evil Administration ever conceived and realized. It might bring the humble pie eatery prize.

@Ohplease47 I dont wish what is going to happen on anyone. I should be clear on that. All the Americans I know personally are lovely people. But many have a semi religious belief in their country that is uncommon in other nations. "My country, right or wrong" doesnt exist most places. So they will be confused, upset and look for someone else to blame when fan and fertiliser meet..😷
