Psycho!

“I can’t assure you on either of those two,” Trump said in response to a reporter’s question. “But I can say this, we need them for economic security.”

That is such bullshit, USA is already allowed to have military bases on Greenland, whatever the fuck Trump believes USA needs Greenland for, he can try to negotiate. And he will be negotiating with allies!

It would be absolutely moronic for Greenland to sell out to USA, and lose their self determination.
So Trump's attempt to buy Greenland and to put pressure on it, is absolutely moronic.

Now Trump is losing goodwill towards USA and himself in particular, so he is less likely to get what it is he actually wants.
