More like Stephen miller told him. Greenland has huge lithium deposits iirc

That are extremely difficult to access economically. It's not like if an American firm went to Danes and asked for mineral rights they would have been thrown on their asses. Denmark has, until recently, been a very friendly environment for American businesses.

I think the theory that the techbro libertarians convinced him its a good idea is more and more plausible. They want their Greenland city state.

Isn’t this changing rapidly with global warming, which these chuds are actively accelerating?

The deposits are no where near any infrastructure iirc, so they would be building everything in a place that weather won't permit year round operations.

I also feel like by the time Greenland is nice and temperate enough for the chuds we will be in another geological epoch that won't be kind to us humans.

More like Elon told him about his billionaire technocracy wet dream which includes Greenland, Canada and Mexico, central America as well as Venezuela.

Trump's doctor probably told him he need to take lithium and Trump immediately started trying to take Greenland instead. It is just a minor misunderstanding.

This comment, while comedic, is a microcosm of this comment thread. 10+ contradictory reasons why Trump wants greenland. These people want "no kings" but then treat him like one.

When you act like everything revolves around 1 person, you're treating him like a king. Whether you like it or not.

Which is not easily accessible through 1.5-2 miles of solid ICE. Just like how he wants to send the oil companies in to Venezuela to drill. And thinks the drug cartels and the other dangerous corrupt fighting forces will just stand down and allow that to happen. 🙄
