Trump became fixated on the idea, viewing it from a real estate perspective and citing the island’s map size and potential resources as strategic assets. His administration reportedly conducted internal studies on the feasibility of a purchase or lease, and Trump even suggested trading Puerto Rico for Greenland.
Reports in late 2024 and early 2025 indicate that Ronald Lauder has been quietly investing in Greenlandic companies, including a water bank and rare-earth mineral ventures, further intensifying scrutiny of his involvement.
We know Trump lies every time he opens his mouth. His hoopla about the Russians and the Chinese is probably a red herring because everything he does is about him, and money.
What a huge asshole he is, as are his sycophants.

Trump is to stupid to know that the Mercator projection distorts the actual size of Greenland on the maps he is shown.

I’m sorry folks, we’ve thought about it a lot and there are just too many Russian and Chinese ships close to Greenland. Â We have no choice to but take the entire island. Â We really don’t want to, but something, something, Russian, China, and probably North Korea, axis of evil, weapons of mass destruction, fentanyl. Â God Bless America. And Greenland. Which is America now. Â

If Trump truly cared about neutralizing Russia as a threat, he would have armed Ukraine to the teeth. That’s what we were led to believe would happen after he won.
Trump doesn’t really care about Russia or China. He has his own agenda and couldn’t care less about what’s in America’s best interest, and antagonizing an entire continent and a key strategic partner certainly isn’t it.

He first floated the idea of drug boats coming from Greenland to the US but they made him change it to Chinese and Russian ships. “It worked for Venezuela….”

Should we tell him about the Bering Strait? You know, the 50mi between Russian and US territories.

Trump’s obsession with taking over territory from a NATO ally is idiotic. America could get practically anything it wants (military security, access to natural resources, etc.) from Greenland without actually acquiring it. This is such a stupid losing proposition with no benefits, except for those who want to see NATO destabilized.

It’s all propaganda, just like the drug boats that all of a sudden aren’t an issue any more.

Hear is the flaw in Frump arguments, Greenland is a NATO nation through Demark. If China or Russia or the USA move on their lands, article 5 is active, meaning all NATO nations must defend Greenland.

What about those colonial ships sailing there 500years ago? Lol that cretin.

It’s the drugs! Greenland is sending so much drugs to the United States! The USA needs to take Greenland, Canada, and Mexico for national security reasons, because of the drugs. Â
Enough said.Â

The point surely is even if there was as a member of nato, nato would defend greenland. Thats literally the point of it. Noone needs America they can fuck off

Reminder the N and A in NATO stands for Nord Atlantic. If anyone thinks Russia and China stand a single chance of projecting any power in the NATO ocean, they’re seriously off.

So what if there is? The US has a base there they can coordinate with the UK and Denmark to watch them.

Why would Russia and China have ships all around Greenland?? They can’t invade it, it’s part of NATO.
Garrett42 on
The thing about the Trump administration is that they have ceded so much of the world to Russia and China by default.
When the US was the global leader – we were the default. China and Russia had to fight just to breathe, but because Trump’s cronies are strategically illiterate – they ceded international ground at unprecedented rates to our enemies, and are now worried about being surrounded.
Greenland was ours – because we were allied with Denmark, but now that Trump made everyone out enemy, we’re surrounded by enemies.

It wasn’t happening before but China and Russia will now probably start sending ships to help erode US / NATO relations even more. Trump is still an idiot regardless.

Even if there are no ships **right now**, that doesn’t mean there are no plans to invade Greenland. These Nordic countries do not even come close to American intelligence agencies in gathering intelligence on Russia and China.

Even if it was true, it would be an argument for stronger alliances, not an invasion.

Or, you know, you could defend them from China and Russia even if this bullshit were true, which it’s not.
At least Britain actually had a plan for invading Norway when Hitler used it as an excuse to do so. The fact that Hitler was more credible than Trump, and that we’re even discussing this bullshit maybe suggests, you know, that Congress should remove him from office yesterday?

According to a 2022 book and various news reports, Ronald Lauder, an heir to the Estée Lauder cosmetics fortune and a long-time friend and political donor of Donald Trump, floated the idea of the U.S. acquiring Greenland.
Ronald Lauder is a major Republican donor and has given substantial financial support to pro-Trump groups. In 2020, some Estée Lauder employees petitioned for his removal from the company’s board due to his political ties.
Trump became fixated on the idea, viewing it from a real estate perspective and citing the island’s map size and potential resources as strategic assets. His administration reportedly conducted internal studies on the feasibility of a purchase or lease, and Trump even suggested trading Puerto Rico for Greenland.
Reports in late 2024 and early 2025 indicate that Ronald Lauder has been quietly investing in Greenlandic companies, including a water bank and rare-earth mineral ventures, further intensifying scrutiny of his involvement.
