If his real concern was “Global Peace and Security,” he could expand the US military presence in Greenland without needing to take over the island, because a [Cold War treaty](https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/den001.asp) allows for this. (And the Danes and Greenlanders have said that Trump’s claims of Russian and Chinese ships in the area are bullshit, though I think they’ve been more diplomatic than I would be.) ---

If his real concern was “Global Peace and Security", he could, (and I know this just crazy pants town talk here but just hear me out)… stop threatening and tariffing our allies and neighbors? Possibly? Stop acting like he’s going to annex Canada? Or making his stupid little mouth noises about invading Mexico because “They got drugs?” It might help a little bit. (I know, I know… It’s more Orwellian double speak. Say you’re for peace and stability while in the same breath threatening war with NATO allies because he wants to execute a blatant land grab ala Russia/Ukraine. It’s infuriating that more people can’t see through or actually support the insanity.) ---

(And the Danes and Greenlanders have said that Trump’s claims of Russian and Chinese ships in the area are bullshit… Another one of his excuses-for-“needing” Greenland, ‘mineral rights,’ has just as little legitimacy as the ‘national security, China and Russia will get it!’ one. Numerous deals have been offered the USA that would result in our getting rare earths and other coveted resources. This whole thing is about Donald’s ego. He MUST have everyone bow down to him in his role as the _ **Man Who Doubled the Size of the USA** _. He CANNOT tolerate being thwarted on this. And he has the nuclear codes. ---

I saw the suggestion that, as someone with a background in real estate, he saw this huge island (and it’s particularly large in a Mercator projection map), he thought, “I must have that!” I think someone pointed out that this would be the largest land acquisition in American history. (From Wikipedia, Greenland 836,330 square miles versus 586,400 square miles for Alaska or 828,000 square miles for the Louisiana Purchase.) ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > I saw the suggestion that, as someone with a background in real estate, he saw this huge island (and it’s particularly large in a Mercator projection map), Yeah, several have said that. Donald doesn’t understand the numbers involved or the distortions of the Mercator projections. He just thinks “I will double the size of the USA and everyone will praise me.” ---

Honest question: Does Trump have any idea that he is the laughing stock of the rest of the world? I mean, laughing stock combined with utter contempt and fear of his shenanigans. Do his handlers just censor the media coverage so that only positive stuff is available for him to see or hear? Is he really that oblivious?? ---

There’s a lot of evidence that Trump is being kept inside a bubble (there were reports of that one staffer who travels with a portable printer, searching for positive news stories to be placed in his hand), but I don’t think it’s possible to state with absolute authority what Trump’s personal experience of the world actually is unless you’re Trump himself. ---
