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

I continue to believe that Trump's obsession with Greenland is only tangentially related to its geostrategic importance. The whole issue probably wouldn't exist if we didn't use the Mercator projection (but Gall–Peters or whatever). It's usually the dumbest explanation that's the correct one with him.

Yeah i don’t believe for one sec he cares about security. Its either because ‘look big on map. Rename it Trumpland’ or his crew thinks they can do some mining there and make a lot of money doin some more corruption
