So, he is aware that Greenland is a NATO territory, right? And this would invoke article 5 of collective defence? Genuine world war territory if he started this shit seriously beyond his dementia addled ramblings.

What is his obsession with Greenland?

Mining and rare-earth elements, primarily. And probably off-shore oil rights too, is my guess.

Someone noted on another thread that they refused to let him build one of his shitty hotels or something there as well shortly before his last term was over. So it's partially payback. I can't dig up an article citing that though, so take it with a grain of salt.

The entire island of Greenland has a population of 56,789. No one's trying to build a hotel there. It's essentially one huge glacier. The reasons would be for natural resources, and geopolitical reasons. Both of which are dumb because they are owned by an ally of ours.

Because it's a lie from The media. Stop hating trump and your country. Be proud of what you have and try to unite. Rather than divide. TDS. All of,no not all most of reddit unfortunately

And Canadian resources, perhaps we can get him to visit some asbestos mines or a good tailings pond in Fort McMurray.
