Why Trump Wants Greenland: Experts Reveal the Key Reasons
Donald Trump Jr. recently visited Greenland, the world’s largest island, following renewed interest from his father, President-elect Donald Trump, in

When my kids were little, they wanted random shit too. We just waited for them fo latch onto something else.
People analyze what Trump says way too much. Let him spew BS and wait until it passes.
I agree. This all feels like garbage to pull our attention away from something else.
He just spouts nonsense to spout nonsense.
If you throw up enough dust it's hard for people to see what you're doing. It's all smoke screen.
For that reason alone, I’ve taken to ignoring his ever-flowing stream of nonsense. Judge him based on his actions and you’ll find plenty of reasons to hate him.
In the immediate it’s to draw attention away from his sentencing.
Or something the Biden admin is doing in the last few days.
As well as disrupting relationships between NATO allies with the ultimate goal of tearing that alliance down.
Yeah pretty much. Trump probably means it, but he's like a toddler, he'll get bored. Those amplifying his message or feeding him ideas are definitely trying to distract
No one took him serious when he claimed he would be reelected earlier in the year 2024.
No one took him serious when he claimed he had all the votes and that he can make it so that there would be no need to vote again.
No one took him serious when he said he'd get away with shooting someone on Times Square.
No one took him serious when he handled a firearm while under various felony indictments and lawsuits.
No one took him serious when he claimed full immunity before the supreme court.
No one took him serious when he said dictators are great people and his friends.
No one took him serious after he said he had had multiple talks with those dictators about US foreign policy while he was a private citizen.
No one took him serious on him wanting to be a dictator on day 1.
No one took him serious when he said drill baby drill.
No one took him serious when he said he didn't care if his vice president would have been lynched.
No one took him serious when his actions clearly designated him as an insurrectionist as stated in the constitution.
No one took him serious when he said he de-classified documents just by saying so and could do whatever with them because they were his.
No one took him serious when he started claiming land belonging to other allied countries.
No one takes him serious when his remarks and wishes go against the constitution.
All this without sitting in the white house....
So when will it be time to take him serious? Far after when it is too late?
I don't think it's that no one is taking him seriously, it's that the wrong people ARE taking him seriously
Not everything is BS. He will 100% try to give himself and his buddies tax cuts and remove consumer protections they’re forced to pay for.
He will also give anyone a favor if they agree to vote for him. Example, Christian fundamentalists.
Thinking he's lying about being a dictator or implementing a genocide is also not a safe assumption to make.
He lies all the time. He doesn't lie every time.
He respects Putin, and feels insecure that Putin is able to invade Ukraine and he can't even rename a gulf.
He's simple and has made it clear that he doesn't understand what foreign relation techniques earned the US "world police" status. I wouldn't actually put it past him to think he needs to take over more land to be respected. He is in real estate, after all.

That worked so well with Hitler. Nobody believed he actually will start a war nor that he will exterminate "lesser races".
Do you think this Greenland idea came from him? Greenland has vast amounts of mineral resources being exposed due to melting glaciers and, more importantly in a U.S that is pumping out more groundwater than is being replaced, a massive amount of fresh water.
He may not realize any of that or care, but he's not the one who is actually in charge either.
Resource extraction yes but there’s no practical way to transport large quantities of water from Greenland to the West where it’s needed. People have come up with similar ideas with the Great Lakes but the engineering required is insane and would be the largest public works project in human history.
There are much much cheaper ways to increase water supplies in the West, and some of them may even be worthwhile.
In the 1990s, there was "no practical way" to extract oil from the Canadian tar sands. And now look. If it's doable, "practical" is just a matter of money and will.
Maybe someday but I think it’s a long way off, and again, other sources of water would be far more practical so even if it becomes possible it’s unlikely to be economical.
But putting distant future hypothetical tech aside I doubt this is a factor here. The emerging mineral resources are reason enough on their own.
Of course not. Trump has never had an original idea of his own - apart perhaps the late great Hannibal Lecter and whale-killing windmills. But he's the one who's stupid enough to spell them out.
Right, so it's not about analyzing what he wants. It's about analyzing what the people controlling him want. And they want Greenland for a reason beyond Trump's dementia-addled fantasies.
They don't even want to talk about the water part. That would mean admitting there's a major water crisis in America. And the tech bros won't like that because they really need all that water for their AI data centers.
