    The Danish are not interested in selling it, nor does it seem that Greenlanders are interested in declaring independence and then voting to join the US. (IIRC such a move was polling somewhere in the single digits.) A military takeover would go over poorly. Even if it went swimmingly, it would backfire, as an on-the-fence Europe would break from the US orbit, end or reorganize NATO, and establish much closer trade relations with China -- the latter move is already being pushed in certain quarters, on the grounds that it's growing increasingly necessary for the EU's economy.

    Highly doubt. Denmark has been quietly moving in troops and supplies

    Somehow I doubt it. Trump talks a lot of stuff that he hasn't been able to do, like lowering prices on food and gas.

      Hah! True. It almost guarantees that Greenland will not be under US control by the end of his term.

      There isn't much that he has said that has come true, and a lot of what is known historic fact, he seems to be in denial of.

      Trump seems to be a human fountain of unlimited falsehoods.

      It's like Elon Musk and dates. If he puts a date on it, it's not happening.
