The irony meter completely exploded when Trump said this:
“He also added that he is “a fan” of Denmark but questioned the country’s claim to Greenland.
“I’m big fan, but you know the fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn’t mean that they own the land,” Trump said. “I’m sure we had lots of boats go there also.”
I am not sure how anyone could be as ignorant as Trump, but I am certain that Native Americans would be happy to school him on this subject.
Unfortunately, he went on to articulate his plans for Greenland:
“President Donald Trump said Friday that the U.S. will do ‘something’ on Greenland, ‘whether they like it or not.’
“He made the comments during a meeting with oil executives at the White House.
“The president said that he would like to make a deal ‘the easy way’ to acquire Greenland, because if the U.S. doesn’t own it, he claimed Russia or China will take over it, and the U.S. does not want them as neighbors.
“‘If we don’t do it the easy way, we’re going to do it the hard way,’ Trump said, without explaining what the ‘hard way’ entailed.”
I sincerely doubt that the Greenlanders, the Danish, and most of Europe wish to see China or Russia in control of Greenland, and they would all be happy to join the US in resisting invasions by either state. But Trump apparently wants to “own” everything. As I have indicated before, “America First” is “America Alone”.
