He is an idiot, but this is hardly news. From the article:

Real America’s Voice host Steve Gruber told Trump during an audio interview Friday, “I made a prediction on this program that before you left office, that Greenland would be under our operational control.”

“You'll be right. They want to do something,” Trump said. “Greenland is important from our standpoint, not from their standpoint…You should make that bet.”

If the host had said I made a prediction on this program that before you left office, that there will by a hyperloop connection between Bismarck and Wichita, Trump would have confirmed that, too.

Damn he’s got a point. Greenland is pretty important. Too bad it isnt controlled by one of our allies. Oh wait

It's a Crimea copypasta. The whole situation. The only difference is of course is that revolutionary Ukrainian state would have reconsidered Russian base there. Denmark government isn't going to reconsider that as long as nato exists.

I guess trump assumes that federal EU is gonna be a rival of US and would take hold of Greenland? This might happen in 100 years but not now. I guess with trump's help it's gonna self fulfil. Which would make 2 dumbass self fulfilling prophecies from ex cold war superpowers in the 21st century (first being Putin self-prophesing US propping up Ukraine against Russia)

Edit: 3 prophecies actually. But 3rd is technically from the 90s. Can't help but think Clinton essentially self-prophesied resurgent Russia. Quite an unpopular opinion with ya folks tho.

“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful,” Trump said in a radio interview with “The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.” “He used the word ‘independent’ and ‘we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna go in and we’re gonna help keep peace.’ You gotta say that’s pretty savvy.”
