I’m not a Trump voter but I think Trump is confused about Greenland. He probably figures it’s called Greenland because it is lush and green - so he wants it to build a golf coarse on it.
Actually Greenland is in a strategic location but in Trump’s hands – they will have to move the Dooms day clock to a second before midnight. Cheers!

@Nanoose we already have military bases there for over 75 years . Sounds like a logical next step.

The World Isn’t Protesting America — It’s Quietly Planning Around It
There are no angry speeches, no dramatic walkouts, no official break with Washington. And that’s exactly the problem. New data shows foreign travel to the U.S. continues to slide while the rest of the world rebounds, investment patterns shift, and allies quietly adjust their strategies. From Canada’s fading border traffic to Europe’s push for autonomy and Asia’s turn inward, the signal is subtle but unmistakable: trust in U.S. predictability is eroding. This isn’t anti-American backlash — it’s global risk management. And once countries learn how to operate without centering America, the path back may not be guaranteed.

@Khenpal1 the path back may not be guaranteed? There is no path back. The rest of the world isn't going to build their own factories, software, etc. for a few years until Trump leaves office. That's an investment for decades and once they can handle everything on their own, they have no reason to become dependent again. These shifts are permanent. It's ironic that "America First" did the whole world a huge service that way at its own expense, but thanks!

@Khenpal1 Depending on your perspective. (Mine is always economic) Here is how the current American situation fits into both economic history and the current political events..😷

I think the Napoleon complex is taking hold. He actually believes he is responsible for any successes he is having. But the people behind the scenes are actually making it all happen. The Venezuela raid took months of planning. Neither Hegseth nor Trump had anything to do with it..And the Greenland thing is straight out of Millers Playbook. Trump doesnt care about it. He cant build a golf course there.😷

@Khenpal1 my Google search says they colonized it in 1721. Was USA the USA the moment pilgrims landed and built a church ?

@AthrillatheHunt It's been under Scandinavian rule for 800 years - first Norway, then Denmark
