Personal power and wealth are his only concerns.

Fore example, "America First" is a pretense that only the gullible fall for. When Trump says, "American First" it translates to, "Me first."

Trump does not believe that rare earth metals in Greenland are necessary for national security or international peace. That's a cover excuse for his own greed. He will either profit directly from access to those metals, or indirectly as promises to lure tech industry support for him both financially and politically.

It's a demonstrated given that Trump never speaks the truth about anything. His words always need to be translated according to his personality and character (or lack of it) traits. He puts out superficial reasons for his actions and policies, but they are always just a cover for whatever personal goals he has. If you keep that in mind, you can analyze whatever Trump says in order to look for what he really is up to.
