But I think Donald Trump wants Greenland and I think he's got his acolytes around him who want it as well.

So this weekend, I sort of thought this was bravado.

He's been talking about capturing or buying Greenland since his first term and I've sort of dismissed it.

Yeah.

But this weekend, he kind of upped the stakes in a way that made my stomach feel queasy because I think he's serious about it.

Because he told Europe that unless Denmark sells him Greenland, which again is not legally possible, he's going to essentially start a trade war with Europe.

And that made me think, I think this guy is serious about wanting Greenland.

So he said to Europe on Truth Social that if Europe didn't allow the complete and total purchase of Greenland, he would increase these tariffs on European countries.

So...

Here's what's going to happen.

Denmark cannot sell Greenland to the United States.

So presumably Trump's going to increase these tariffs on Europe.

Europe is going to respond by saying that the U.S.

can't sell any of its goods to Europe and we're going to enter a trade war.

That is the best case scenario.

The best case scenario was a trade war.

You know what the worst case scenario is?

He invades Greenland.

which, by the way, he's meant to be protecting because the US, under the NATO alliance, protects Greenland from Russia or from anyone else who wants to invade.

Well, as discussed, he can't buy it.
