Welcome to Pod Save America. I'm Jon Favreau. I'm Dan Pfeiffer. Dan and I have been just itching to dig into the newest New York Times Sienna poll, which is full of bad news for Trump. Just plenty of fun crosstabs for us. But first, they're calling it more brilliant than Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase. More monumental. than Roosevelt's statecraft at Yalta.
More daring than Nixon's trip to China. That's right, Dan. Donald Trump, the president of peace, the darling of Davos, duked it out with Denmark over Greenland, and he art of the dealed himself into his greatest achievement yet. Let's take a listen.
It's really hard not to see this through the lens of the art of the deal. The president's doubters were once again proven wrong. Europe and America are going to be rich and safe. And Greenland gets McDonald's. Congratulations, Mr. President. You've done a great job. Thank you.

Chapter 2: What deal did Trump announce regarding Greenland?
How does that work?
What is Mark Ruta doing, by the way, fucking freelancing?
I think all the European leaders got together. One of them drew the short straw and they had to go meet with the delusional man baby who is throwing his weight around Davos. Like the whole thing. is so embarrassing. It is embarrassing for the world. It's embarrassing for the American people.
It's embarrassing for all the people who sat in that room who applauded like this was not some insane fucking speech happening. It's embarrassing for the European leaders who are sending friendly texts to Trump to try to get on his good side, that they can try to steer his insanity into a less dangerous place.
The only person not embarrassed by this is the person who should be most embarrassed, which is Donald Trump. It's just so... It's like what a gigantic waste of everyone's time. Like this isn't like there are things that Trump wants to do that are crazy. that are the crazy solution to an actual problem. Like trying to build the wall and make Mexico pay for it.
That's an insane, impractical, ineffective solution. But it is trying to solve a problem. It's not how most people would solve it, but it's trying to solve it. There is no problem here.
He invented a problem and then created an insane solution, caused the stock market to lose 2%, created all kinds of instability, caused people to sell off American bonds in the dollar, and threatened the entire Western world order for what?
I also noticed, though, that Trump, he wasn't even in those interviews. He might have been a little tired from all of his traveling to Davos and whatnot. And football games. And football games. And he's fucking old and deteriorating. So it could be any of those. But he didn't seem, he wasn't selling it like he usually sells the fake deals that he's reached.
He was kind of like, I don't know, anything could happen. The deal's infinite. Who knows? He had that like long pause with Caitlin Collins. I haven't heard these clips yet, but right before we started recording, he did like a gaggle on Air Force One, I guess on the way back from Davos. So they asked him a few questions about this.

Chapter 3: How did Trump's Greenland deal compare to historical purchases?
military bases were built on. The reporter said, is Denmark on board with this concept? Trump, I'll let you know in about two weeks. There it is. The classic. The old two weeks from now. This one has nothing to do with Denmark, but I'm just going to read it because it's kind of fun. I don't know if you see on Twitter. You can all Google this. It's out there.
Trump now has like a big bruise on his left hand. He's been bruising on the right hand. He's bruising all over the place. Who knows? Reporter, we saw the bruising on your hand. Are you okay? I'm very good. I clipped it on the table. So I put a little, what do they call it? Cream on it.
Okay.
I clipped it. I would say take aspirin if you like your heart, but don't take aspirin if you want to have a little bruising. I take the big aspirin. When you take the big aspirin, they tell you that you bruise. The doctor said, you don't have to take that, sir. You're very healthy. I said, I'm not taking any chances. That's one of the side effects.
You know what counts as not taking chances? Taking a massive dose of medication above and beyond what your doctor recommends. That's a chance.
You take all the aspirin, you whack your hand, it bruises, you put some cream on it. What's it called?
It is, for all the conspiracy theorists, I don't really know what's going on. It is true that if you take lots of aspirin, you do bruise more easily and you cut more easily. It's a blood thinner.
No, the conspiracy here is that the president's a fucking lunatic who's taking too much aspirin.
Because, you know, if two aspirin are good for you, how great do you think 20 aspirin are?

Chapter 4: What are the implications of Trump's invitation to Putin?
That's right. But I mean, it's like, well, let me imagine.
Remember, the immunity ruling sort of lopped off a big part of the indictment, but some of it still remained. Like if before Trump won, we still thought there was going to remember there was still going to be a there's still going to be a case.
And the Fulton County case could be brought back because that is a local case and not relevant to this.
My thing is, like, you know, good for Jack Smith. There's things he couldn't talk about based on sort of evidence. Like, what I'm interested in someday is, you know, evidence that Jack Smith had that he was going to bring it to trial that we haven't heard yet. And, you know, same in the documents case if Eileen Cannon ever...
I mean, she won't, but if anyone can ever get that evidence, that would interest me.
I think the Justice Department, that's one thing. It won't be the most important thing, but I hope that this is what, imagine this. Democratic president wins. Our attorney general goes out, promises full disclosure of the Jack Smith files. brings in a bunch of content creators, influencers, maybe.
Not us because we wouldn't get invited.
You don't know who, you don't know who the person is going to be. We might get invited. We might get invited this time. It gets handed, we get handed a binder and it's filled with all this stuff. It can happen.
It'll be Brian. You might not be, you might not be invited. I, yeah, no, I might be invited. Yeah, you might, yeah, you might get invited. Definitely not love it. Maybe you and Tommy.
