    Trump’s power is in the fact that Americans imprint on him what they think he means or what his “plan” is when he really is just shooting from the hip (aka tweeting from the toilet).

    We as Americans need to stop acting as though this guy has some sort of master strategy or that he is doing something need and provocative.

    I could do something different than most husbands and wake up my wife to tell her today I’m going to earn 10 million dollars for our family in the McDonald’s monopoly game. That would be different and wouldn’t be processed but without a plan on how I’m going to actually beat the McDonald’s monopoly game my wife should probably just tell me to shut up and go fix the flapper on the toilet.

    Show me the proposal and the plan before I can comment. Otherwise we should collectively tell our abusive deadbeat husband of a president to do his fcking job and fix the toilet … aka bring down the price of eggs, add better paying jobs, solve the immigration issue, eliminate the deficit, stop all wars around the world, and maybe shoot Elon into space to go sew his seed on Mars.

    Let’s just stop it with the Trump is this or that nonsense… it’s us as a country who are the different ones… different in the worse possible way.. different in the fact that we are self defeating morons who imprint genius on a man who only gift is that he just has way too much time on his hands.

    Explain to me where Trump used the word "purchase". He never did.

    I have shared what I “actually think”. Hey lefty, can you tell me why you are against Trump on this and why you side with the left on every single issue? I compared the left to sports FANS not “our country to sports teams” .

    Be better than this, pal. I get called names here constantly. Doesn’t bother me.
    Also, I haven’t used the word unpatriotic have I?

    "an autonomous dependent territory of Denmark"

    seems like an oxymoron

    Trump should offer each Greenland resident some sort of cash payout or mineral rights, make them an offer they can't refuse. And they can vote to join the US.

    Denmark can buzz off, they aren't doing anything with that land.

    Maybe we should let Russia or China purchase Greenland. I bet you lefties would be ok with that.

    It isn't our decision who gets to purchase or not purchase Greenland.

    It isn't for sale.

    Again, I’m glad you aren’t gonna be the one negotiating for the US, just giving up so fast. I guess you’ve never been a salesman or dealt with any either.

    is greenland for sale?

    was this even something trump brought up during the campaign? just seems like another thing that just pops in his head and he tweets about it. there is no tangible plan and greenland isnt even for sale. its dumb. thats why people are making fun of him. if a democrat did the same thing they would be mocked too.

    Why do yall keep using the word purchase? It’s not for sale like lumber at Home Depot or whatnot. The implication you maga cult followers are making is that land out there part of another sovereign country is just there for the taking if you feel you have the power to take it.

    If the implication was that china or Russia were going to forcefully take another countries sovereign territory yes we would condemn it and want to help thwart that. Maybe not defend militarily but in this case we would have to since it is NATO territory.

    I don’t ever want to hear another word about Trumpers being anti war isolationists with the craziness y’all are throwing out there about Greenland.

    If Denmark wants to sell it great… let’s do it. Until then all yall are doing is implying that Trump should annex and use our military to take territory owned by a NATO Ally.

    Very Hitleresque.

    And just curious, why are you so against the US opening lines of communication on this? Why would you be against us purchasing Greenland? China wants it too. I feel like if it was Obama or Biden talking about this you would be on board.

    Why is this bad?

    I’m sure you’ll be purposefully obtuse again and just simply say it’s not for sale. However, that doesn't win this argument for you,
    because you have no idea what is for sale or isn’t.

    People are imprinting genius on Trump once again for simply having too much time on his hand to tweet too much.

    Under this logic the poster who posts the most insane trades in the Random Trade Thread should be the GM of the Rockets because he is such a genius because the trade machine says it’s possible to trade 2 second round picks and Jasean Tate to Phoenix for Devin Booker.

    That’s how stupid this is and why it’s mocked. We need to stop this imprinting of 3D chess on someone who clearly is an idiot with too much time on his hands.

    Nobody here is implying that at all. We are implying that it might actually be for sale and that we could purchase it. Much more plausible that taking it by force, which nobody except all-in lefties have suggested.

    No one is buying Greenland.

    That includes Russia - China and the USA.

    Russia has like 12% inflation right now, they have lost Syria and all the time and resources they spent on it - and they are not doing well in Ukraine.

    If it was so simple to "purchase" a country in 2024 - China would just purchase Taiwan.
