Greenland and Donald Trump

By Rich Kozlovich

It wasn't all that long ago when Donald Trump declared he wanted to take over Greenland, the Panama Canal, make Canada a state, and take over Gaza and turn it into a paradise.

Well, the Canada and Gaza things were nuts, but there are solid national security reasons involving Greenland, and certainly the Panama Canal which Jimmy Carter gave away, and given how China has bought a lot of control there, it's a smart move.

Did you ever wonder why Carter did that?  Here's the list of the 45 Communist Goals to Destroy America as Listed in the 1963 Congressional Record, and guess what goal number 44 was?  Internationalize the Panama Canal.  Based on his record, the kindest thing one can say about Jimmy Carter is he was a communist sympathizer.  The worst you can say is he was a traitor.

Well, the leadership in Denmark and Greenland were just a little bit upset about that, and a lot of critical rhetoric spewed out, both nationally and internationally, declaring this was outrageous.  And the Russians, bullies and thugs they are, warned... warned mind you, that  Donald Trump should stay away from Greenland, as it impacted their “strategic interests” in the Arctic region.  Well, if there was anything that would push Trump to work harder at acquiring Greenland, that would be it.

The leadership in Denmark and Greenland were clearly not going to go along with that, and it was claimed both the Danes and the Greenlanders were opposed.  It's funny how mistaken leaders can be about what their citizens want or believe.  

Greenland just had an election, and:

 

.....the ruling party was forced out of power. The new winner is a party that is leaning towards self-governance and got 29.9% of the votes, together with the very pro-separatist party that will probably form a coalition together with them.  The new government will use its newfound voter support to pressure the Danish government for more money and more self-determination, something that that they can thank Donald Trump for, because before he started showing interest in Greenland the Greenlanders felt they were riding in the back of the Danish realm's bus.

 

They didn't vote to become an American state, or territory, but they just put better terms on the table for good relations with Trump and America, and the GOP is pushing legislation to give Trump the authority to negotiate the purchase of Greenland, and there are those who think it's time the U.S. should claim territory in Antarctica.   

This isn't over yet, and it will be worth watching, but have you noticed the pattern playing out in so many scenarios.  Trump speaks and everyone gets outraged, and then things start to go his way, and all the outraged turn silent, except for our very own American Smeagol, James Carville, who insists Trump has put the very existence of America in jeopardy, and believes the Trump administration will ‘collapse’ within 30 days, and they're in total melt down.  Then there's Mad Maxine who claims what Trump really wants is civil war, in spite of the fact it's the left that just about has a monopoly on political violence.  And as time has gone by with DOGE exposure of who is getting funding, we now are seeing so much of these riots and destruction is a vast left-wing online coordinated conspiracy.

Just like so many leftists, like John Cusack, and Raoul Peck, who just can't keep from saying stupid things, really are gifts that keeps on giving.
