It's good that he plans to leave the office. First I heard about it

Maybe that’s the thing. He’ll never leave office so Greenland is safe. 

Obligatory Fuck the US. They need to leave Greenland alone already. Release the Epstein files.

Who behind the scenes is pushing for this though? Trump might grow tired of pursuing Greenland but you can bet your ass that there are Republicans out there pushing for it and they'll probably continue doing so after Trump is gone.

Oh he’s filthy rich now with all his grifting, stealing, insider trades and stealing Venezuelas oil and suing companies like ABC that say things he doesn’t like so they settle. He’s profiting big time off his position which is why he says he will go to prison if Democrats are elected.

If Bill Clinton is guilty of sexual abuse of minors, he too must go to prison. Clinton has called for the release of the Epstein files, while Trump is blocking it. That gives you a hint who is in the files in an incriminating way, and who isn't.

u/4umlurker Aug 01 '26

Tbh I’ve always been convinced he only wants Greenland to invade Canada. He has mentioned over and over that he wants it for military purposes. Thing is though, they are already allowed to station troops etc in Greenland due to NATO. But if he goes for Canada he will no longer be able to. Canada will get support through Europe and come from the east over Greenland. Taking it first would cut Canada off from the rest of Europe and defend against NATO/Europe from supporting Canada.

60

u/RealSuggestion9247 Aug 01 '26

Using Greenland to invade Canada when you are the United States of America and share a several thousand kilometres long land border with Canada is so nonsensical that from a political and military planning perspective it is a level of dysfunction deeper than trumps thoughts of annexing Canada.

But who knows what that moron will do one day from now, a week, a month… him least of all.

There is a current controversy where a US petroleum company brought drilling equipment into Greenland without letting authorities know, which bypassed some permitting laws. They have some drilling rights that were given out 7+ years or so, but they need local approval to install equipment, which they are trying to do. So he's whining about US interests being obstructed by unfair environmental laws, which is more proof he should get to take Greenland, the oil will greet him as liberators or something.

It is difficult to imagine that USA can compete against the world with all that corruption and all that lack of political efficiency. All that lack of working together for a common good.

u/hareofthepuppy Aug 01 '26

I agree 100% that it's Americans who are doing the damage.

Technically the non voters don't want or not want this, they're apathetic. So it's not quite accurate to say the majority want this, rather that the majority is ok with, or doesn't not want it, but either way yes, they chose it.

u/Kendos-Kenlen France Aug 02 '26 edited Aug 02 '26

Abstaining from voting is a political choice. They chose to let Trump pass (same would have been said if dems won). So they are also responsible for what’s happening, as much as the ones that voted republicans. After all, they willingly chose not to vote for not having Trump elected while clearly knowing who he’s and what were his plans.

I think the Trump administration's plan for now is to use soft power to acquire Greenland, but they don't realise that they are utterly useless scrubs at this. American conservatives have completely fallen for their own propaganda about how everyone dreams about coming to the US, so when they actually go abroad, they act like bulls in a china store.

And Denmark is not alone.

u/cattaclysmic Denmark Aug 02 '26

Its taken seriously but also dismissed.

Steps are taken for it to become as politically expensive for them to move on Greenland as possible while outwardly dismissing the comments and continuing to act as if the US is still an ally to remove any casus belli that might decrease the expense itll cost them.

Its probably also resulted in a shift towards Greenland remaining part of Denmark in perpetuity. Greenlanders have been vocal about independence for a long time but this overt threat has put into perspective what them standing alone would entail.

Americans if you fuck November up, I think you will lose any remaining respect in Europe. Can you just vote for normal people and not extremists?

EDIT: to everyone replying: go touch some grass and get out of the Reddit echo chamber

u/Rosbj Denmark Aug 01 '26

There is no remaining respect. America needs generations of fixing before they can be considered trustworthy again.

This, America is only ever one election away from another Trump. So any agreement is only worth that election cycle. Why would you do a “deal” with someone when it only lasts 4 years maximum.

u/Keppoch Aug 02 '26

They really did this to themselves. Not doing anything about Citizens United and not pressuring their representatives when they have a “friendlier” Democratic government has gotten to this stage step by step.

They look at other countries who have things like universal healthcare and better education with disdain, thinking that the US is the “best nation on Earth” despite not having either. Even the most currently-embarrassed American liberal still thinks the US is better than any other country.

They should have been in the streets the day of Biden’s inauguration demanding Trump’s arrest. They should’ve protested him being able to run for a second term with all his convictions.

They did nothing.

It will many decades of good behavior until America is repsected again.

u/Worried-Advisor-7054 Aug 02 '26

What respect?? They went from Obama to Trump to Obama's VP to Trump again. It's not a normal country, they don't have a reliable ideology you can try to understand and negotiate with. They just schizophrenicallly go back and forth.

This is why Canada has had enough. It's like a method lab in the basement. They're too unpredictable, and we need to distance ourselves, even though we're direct neighbours.

u/edma23 Aug 02 '26

Remaining respect? Not sure what you're talking about. Until they fix the system that makes the tangerine numbskull possible (and impossible to remove), no one in their right mind will respect the nation. Pity maybe, but for as long as I live there isn't enough time to earn respect.

Trump is going to walk us into WW3 one way or the other. Either by his weakness and cocksucking when is comes to dictators, his sheer stupidity or his recklessly trying to feel tough. The guy is a moron and the people who stand by and make excuses are just as bad. Poor wee souls who looked down on everyone else because “that could never happen here” something something constitution.

Russia is not Trump's adversary, I wish it would stop being mentioned in any context. Putin would love nothing more than for Greenland to be in Trump's hands. It will destroy NATO, and Trump will happily try to get US-Russian joint ventures going. That's exactly what his negotiating team are doing in Russia at the moment WRT the Russian arctic. Plus he'd love nothing more than to reward Putin and show Europe the middle finger

There's only one superpower. It's not about just strength or nukes, it's about power projection. Those bases and alliances around the world that let the US operate where it pleases are what make it a superpower, and it is currently working hard to lose that status it seems.

I find it so strange that this specific tactic hasn't been more talked about. Perhaps it is the volatility of it, but then again, that would be a fitting card to play, considering how serious the threat towards Greenland.

u/shimmy_kimmel Aug 01 '26

Because selling assets at a loss and triggering widespread economic instability to make a political point against a finite administration is an unintelligent move. Additionally, that economic instability will empower Europe’s own far-right movements to recruit greater membership and develop a more significant political impact.

He also said we'd get rebate checks from all the money DOGE saved us, rebate checks from Tariffs.

He said he'd have a better healthcare plan on day one of his first presidency.

He said no wars, then changed the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

He said Mexico would pay for the wall.

He said private donors would pay for the ballroom.

u/Delicious-Help4187 Aug 02 '26

The world must be so confusing to Trump. Everyday he wakes up with delusions and has to relearn how weak the US is under him and how little power he has. Then the next day he wakes up again and has to relearn. Dementia must be a really hard disease to work through when your president.
