President Donald Trump has said the U.S. will revisit its stance on Greenland in the coming weeks.

Asked if he expected to take action on the territory, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday: “Let’s talk about Venezuela, Russia, Ukraine. We’ll worry about Greenland in about two months. Let’s talk about Greenland in 20 days.”

He added: “We need Greenland from a national security situation. It’s so strategic.”

      He’s the king of America. He can do whathe wants.

      Better question is who is pulling his strings? He’s a simpleton who’s trivialy ready to manipulate.

        Lots of people are pulling his strings. It varies from Putin, to last person who paid him a million dollars, to simply just the last person he talked to.

          That’s just dementia. Talk to a demented person and you will immediately see the massive similarities.

          I can personally no longer stand news outlets like the NYT because they keep sane washing his bullshit by treating it like is actually well thought out.

          They should be talking about the cadre of miscreants around him.

      Yeah, how did we get here? I mean it’s not just the USA, half the EU is like “yes sir, a little deeper please.”

      Because he has a big army. Previous leaders have honored the principle that with great power comes great responsibility. Trump honors the principle that with great power comes the power to take what the hell you want, and nobody can do a goddamn thing about it.
