Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

I’d bet donuts to dollars they printed out a copy of the 1951 accord and let him sign it like it was a new agreement. Told him he was a genius for negotiating a “deal.”
I wonder at what point they’ll move Trump to the same office his father worked at.
Interesting that these days doughnuts are worth dollars...
The donut place by my house sells a dozen for $40, so like $3.34.
Wtf‽ Do you live on the beach in metropolitan California?
Seattle. West Coast Best Coast, baby.
That’s ridiculous.
They had to add some gold foil and slather his stupid name all over it, first.
demolished his case for owning it
The "case":
She was a bad egg.
This is how he's always conducted "business".
Threaten to destroy something, thinks that he's pulled the "value" down as a result, then "offer a deal". This is just how he operates.
He never had the intention or ability to take control of Greenland. He just wants to force them to the table.
This is how he always worked. When he loses, just keep saying he's won, until some one believes him
What? So like its over now?
Probably the immediate threat, but the long tail of consequences will go on for a while. Who would want to work with us when we have twice elected a guy like Trump? We are pretty unreliable partners at this point. 😕
Well, maybe for Trump. I suspect it won’t be over for the Danes and Greenlanders for quite some time.
TACO.
I doubt its over, to me this seems more like they are gonna find a way to take it without military force and with less of a media spotlight. Probably through some kind of manipulatation or strong arming greenland to declare independence from Denmark and become a US territory/vassal state.
As we've seen with Venezuela, many leaders around the world are too afraid to condemn his actions and instead want to appease him to keep themselves out of the spotlight.
Now Greenland and Iceland will join the European Union. The EU will set up its own army, integrate its defense industry and boost defense spending. It will also protect its markets from US abuse and use its industrial leverage geopolitically. It will form international alliances with the likes of China and India.
It might slowly (or not) unwind its 8tn holdings of US debt, form a dedicated European financial infrastructure, and aggressively push for the euro as an alternative to the dollar.
In short, the US will lose its primary foreign market, and its closest ally.
That sounds pretty awesome, not gonna lie
Trump demolished his case for owning it
Half of his case was: "I'm mad the Norwegian government didn't give me a non-governmental organization's peace prize". You can't demolish something if it was already a pile of construction rubble.
He won't remember any of that and even if he did, he's not a logical person.
He should meet with other politicians more often, it seems to make him more grounded in reality.
His "case" was always nonsensical.
They threatened to collapse the us bond market and he slurped on every dick in the room like a good little bitch
I really, really doubt this is true.
With Trump all it takes, most of the time, is
A) to suck up and tell him how great he is
B) tell him how good something will make him look
C) be the last one to have talked to him
And sometimes D) how whatever it is that you're proposing lines up with something he is convinced is true. Which you tell him is true and how smart he is for being the only one to figure it out.
