Summary
Fox News’s attempt to find support for Donald Trump in Greenland backfired, as most residents expressed disinterest in his proposals.
While one Trump supporter was found, the majority of Greenlanders interviewed criticized Trump’s comments and expressed a preference for remaining under Danish rule.
Despite these setbacks, Trump continues to advocate for acquiring Greenland, citing economic security concerns.
Greenland houses an important NATO base that would be needed in a fight against Russia. This os why Trump wants Greenland
Then just claim the base. No need to take over the handful of towns.
Trump is on the same side as Putin. Trump “wants Greenland” for no other reason than to get attention. He’s a narcissist. Everything he does can be explain by Trump’s hunger for your attention. He’s not actually worth people’s attention.
America cannot claim a NATO base. Do you need that explained to you?
They can claim any part of Greenland. Although they would likely be violating international law. But be aware that Traitorapist Trump has already gotten away with committing many domestic crimes.
Acts of war are different than the crimes he has been accused of.
Since 99% of Greenland is uninhabited, he could just claim those parts and let the few towns choose whether they wanted to join or not. It actually is a little weird that just 50,000 people can “own” a gigantic 99% uninhabited island the size of Greenland.
But I think the claim is that he wants to purchase Greenland from Denmark. There is actually a historical precedent for exactly that. The USA purchased the Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917. We also purchased Puerto Rico from Spain, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma etc from France, and Alaska from Russia.
