2. Silly idea

If Trump invades Greenland, the dollar will crash and the economy will collapse due to the EU’s economic retaliation.

Despite Trump’s claim to be acting president of Venezuela, the US does not control that nation of 28 million people. They might control the airports, but that’s about it.

We have a real election to deal with, this year, and silly fantasies such as this are nothing but a distraction.
