We right now, even if we don't engage in force, are utilizing or potentially utilizing vast economic coercion, which will result in the imposition of a massive sales tax on the American people to get an island that we would then have to pay for indefinitely and that we don't want.

The vast majority of Americans don't want.

Even if we don't use force, this is a drain on the taxpayer when we could get everything without all of that cost associated with it.

I think if it continues, absolutely.

I think if it continues and we are seeing 10% new tariffs on these European nations, potentially 25%, potentially more in the weeks and months ahead, I think we absolutely can make it clear to people that Donald Trump is taxing you in order to get something that we don't need because everything that we could materially benefit from

the Greenlandic government and the Danish government are willing to give to us.

We had 20 bases in Greenland after World War II.

It's now down to one.

If we want to reopen those 20 bases, they are more than happy to let us do that.

There are essentially uninvestable natural resources in Greenland because of the hostile terrain.

But if we want to spend whatever money to try to get those natural resources, they're willing to work with us to do that.

There is quite literally

No reason for this.

And I think with no reason, coupled with a potential sales tax on the American people, coupled with the argument that we're going to have to, if we take this over, subsidize this this island.

I think that that's resonant for for people.

And I think it betrays the president's fundamental promise.

to his voters, which is to put our country first and to try to solve problems here rather than, you know, going around the world, being the world's policemen and spending massive amounts of money on on endless wars.

My guess is that that's probably something they wouldn't appreciate.

And you mentioned, look, you mentioned the dog sleds and the president keeps mocking this.

The fact that the Danish government, the Danish military has now two dog sleds there.
