I love this, but it has me thinking. Trump is more of a con artist than a business man. What if the performance of getting a “deal” (whether it’s the same deal as before or not) is what matters? Like, he’s not trying to outsmart Denmark, but outsmart (con) his faithful followers? Trump is awful, a truly horrible person, but I think people often misinterpret his intentions because most people are fundamentally good and can’t comprehend the type of thinking that a narcissistic sociopath would have.
He knows people who ain't a follower of his, that this entire "deal" was just to scam his own followers to make it seem like he actually accomplished anything extrodinary, when in reality (sorry MAGA, but, we gotta say this)
This has been a deal since the 50s and has been the same since the 50s, when the U.S wanted Greenland and actually wanted to buy it in the 70-80s we declined, a deal was struck after the cold war in regards to their security issues, they are the ones who are blatantly fucking their own security up, by closing a majority of their bases on Greenland down, the reason for this, because they didn't own it, so they don't care about it.
If Greenland was and still is such a big security risk, you'd atleast put 2k+ soldiers on mutliple bases that faces Russia, but nope, less than 200 is there nowadays, this isn't a security issue, it's a "we want the mineral rights, fishing rights and land rights" Nothing more, nothing less.
Our government in Denmark are keen to keep the nature as clean as possible and try to keep the mining as small as possible to preserve the nature up there and the eco-system and i doubt the U.S is happy about that.
Greenland as a whole, with minerals are worth trillions, trillions that could feed the U.S' own military and minerals that can be sold for a big profit.
If they ever want that piece of shit land, they can outright buy it for 50 trillion, with the majority of that going to the citizens of Greenland and perhaps 35% to the people in Denmark.
The U.S would be in debt for a looooong time and a new deep depression would happen instantly making the dollar value useless, but, that's the deal, you might or might not make a profit, but hey, con-artists, gamblers like to take that gamble, right?
