It would be hilarious if this coke head gets busted in Greenland lmao.
Just pick him up, turn him upside down, and shake him. It would be like using a powdered sugar sifter.

Ffs, leave Greenland alone. I can't believe I have to live with this shit for the next 4 years. Maybe more.
I really hope the rest of the world takes America seriously right now. We are about to become a massive threat (not to say we aren't already) and if we are handled with the same level of meh that the voters handled this election it's gonna get ugly.
These are threats. Not even all that thinly veiled.
Although keeping Trump busy with Greenland might do the rest of the world a favor. Get his nut followers to demand boots on the ground. Have them go to war with walruses.
Trump isn't being kept busy with Greenland, Trump is keeping the news cycle busy.
It's "wag the dog", and has been a standard GOP ploy for years now. Like how he banned trans folks from the military during his impeachment hearings, right when they were talking about the Magnitsky Act and how it impacted Putin and Trump.
No one thinks it's going to happen, it's to keep everyone distracted as he takes office and starts dismantling things and consolidating power. If it actually could happen they'll cross that bridge when they come to it.
It’s all fun and games unless he actually succeeds somehow…then we’re in for a world of shit. You can look forward to every other greedy dictator attacking neighbors they feel should be part of their countries, now that the US has led the way.
No, start taking all these things seriously. Why wouldn't Greenland/Denmark put some resources into it? What other superpower is making threats against their sovereign land?
Figure out what media channels, what sort of disinformation avenues will be used, what major political parties would be corrupted... Assess, implement whatever policies can help combat these vectors, and worst case, if Trump wasn't serious, you've strengthened your country against foreign influence campaigns.
Best case, Trump is serious, but you make it just difficult enough that he fucks off to do some other bullshit instead.
And if it's all a distraction for something else, then address that something else in parallel.
It's like how the media wouldn't call Trump out on lies just because he does it so much. No. Fucking call him out every time. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, you just blatantly lied, here's the receipts, here's the clip, stop fucking talking about other shit until you explain this. Instead we just get bedazzled by his torrent of bullshit and just start hoping for the best, which clearly is not working in our favor.
For those of you scoring at home, we're taking over Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal and Great Britain.
Could have sworn he also said Mexico.
Just the gulf
Then we'd have to make brown people citizens.
Or just reinstate slavery
I guess that would be a fast way to get things like universal health care. Add a bunch of voters who will be shocked by how much shittier the American alternative is.
You think they would get to vote?
Yesss! I can't wait for us to become part of Greenland, and thus the EU! I for one welcome or new progressive Danish leaders!
LOL.
Why on earth would they want to join the US?
Their sovereignty is an invaluable asset and to give it up would be an atrocity.
Except they don't have sovereignty.
They are much better off staying Danish than becoming American though.
Except they have.
They have the constitutional roght to unilaterally declare independence and they are mostly autonomous except for a few topics (like national security)
I don't think I'll be able to handle the level of absolutely stupidity and evilness that's coming for America.
He’s gotten away with everything at home so he thinks he can get whatever he wants in the world now.
He wants to be Putin so hard
Notably grocery prices are set in Greenland. Oh they're not and this is idiotic banter? Right.
I suppose while we're conquering a grab bag of countries Trump remembered exists, Putin is supposed to be using his North Korean troops to take over the rest of Europe? Goddamn, WW3 is going to be so fucking stupid, right up until the nukes fly because the might of the Greenland national guard proved too great for us.
At this point Denmark should just ask for a few hundred billion, and then give every Danish citizen a huge payout.
If Trump wants Greenland, make him pay for it.
Greenland is largely populated by indigenous people, they really like their island the way it is, with nice cities along the coast and no roads cutting through the land
Greenland is its own country, this is like saying denmark should sell mexico to the US.
They can't, it's not their land.
