    I was watching a video on the significance of Greenland in regard to it’s strategic location and the fact that we already have agreements with our allies (for now) for the use of northern areas of Canada and Greenland for our defense and yet we still are demanding ownership has me thinking that this might be “necessary” for Republicans to do because they’re going to eventually cut ties completely with Europe and become even more antagonistic.

    :/

        It’s his 80th birthday soon, and a country is the very best birthday present you can get. That’s why Trump wants it.

        The minerals thing is why Trump’s handlers want it.
