Or so I’ve seen posted.

as planet warms up, there's going to chess moves in the Artic.

Bottom line: M-O-N-E-Y to be made by somoene.

1. Knowing Trump, he'd rather "appropriate" real estate rather than pay for it. Even though he'll argue there's a very large federal deficit, he'd find the money to first try to buy Greenland. But that won't happen.

2. So, using a falsehood of a crisis, maybe he'd send the military into Greenland to "protect" it -- from China, who knows? And using American imperialism (if not Israeli MO), the troops would stay in Greenland indefinitely.

3. I don't know how he'd do it, but whatever wealth Greenland has, Trump would want a taste of the action. Leasing out land for excavating the soil for minerals, perhaps even clean, fresh water, would be another source of income for him.

4. And on a non-pecuniary note, I honestly believe Trump likes (a lot) the concept of taking over another country, making its residents part of his kingdom. Greenland would now take orders from Trump, not themselves, not Denmark.

5. Trump likes to prove that he can do something that everyone tells him would be impossible to do.

Exhibit A: The Dobbs decision. Everyone told Trump that it would impossible to overturn Roe and he did it.

Exhibit B: More than 30 years ago, Trump attempted to use eminent domain to get ownership of a small property near his casino in Atlantic City. (He wanted the lot to develop a parking garage for limos to his business.) He first offered the owner, a widow, a pittance of the value of the property, which she turned down. Trump took her to court again and again. He was told it wasn't worth the time and money, but he believed he could wear out the widow. Not exactly. Trump had to abandon his plans and was chagrined that he lost to an elderly woman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_Coking_house

plenty of minerals and oil may be revealed. (bitcoin mining on the scale to fill a bitcoin resserve may finish the oligarch project of melting the ice cap for fun and profit. but that is just my theory)

the real estate reply might also be a good one, again more valuable as the ice melts.

note on exhibit b - it is well known that trump will never take no for an answer.

"if she says no i hear maybe." trump

He wants to be the ruler of the biggest country in the world. He is obsessed with BIG. He said his inauguration had the biggest crowd ever. His rallies are big, bigger than Biden's or Harris's, according to him. BIG is his MO.

He is the world's oldest adolescent boy, comparing his penis to everyone else's. This is what it is all about.

Like his hero Vlad did.

they think its a great idea. They were all giddy about it. Greenland is getting greener, when I tell then that they don't seem to understand. Green also because of its minerals.

Plus, he needs the dashed line to Iceland for to attack the purples!!!iii!!

I’m only half kidding here.

This in response to the press question on their February 1964 trip asking how they found the US.

When he won in 2016, he bragged about how much area was red on the election-map.

Also prison camps for Democrats, journalists, intellectuals, and disobedient women.

The mercator projection makes it look like it is.

He went to a military school. You know what I am saying is true if you ever played the game.

Greenland is not for sale, though the Republican president-elect continues to believe that it's "an absolute necessity" for the United States to buy it.
