        I feel like that makes slightly too much sense to be something trump would propose. At the very least, he’d have to be aware of them not being the same place, which is already giving him too much credit.

          Did you miss the part where he called Greenland Iceland during his speech at the world economic Forum meeting?

              And the cover up attempt is even funnier.

        I don’t even want to consider what he might be saying in two weeks, speculation like that brings only madness…

        edit: Wait did you mean he’s saying the tariffs are happening in two weeks because if so I’m dumb and you’re funny.

      I’m expecting Trump to loudly announce that he negotiated so hard, and really got Greenland/Denmark to bow to his mighty nogotiating talents, only to then reveal that what he negotiated is that the US is allowed to build several military bases (which they already could), and that they have gotten rights to extract a chunk of minerals (which they already could).

      Then the whole MAGA base will be thrilled with how big and strong their dear leader is…

      As this point everything is exactly as it were before he started threatening Greenland and Denmark, except for having lost a large chunk of trust around the world, and MAGA feeling emboldened.

      Then a few weeks/months down the line Trump will start threatening with an invasion again…
