Why is Donald Trump obsessed with Greenland and how does the show introduce it?
Let's talk about another major Trump obsession because he has them often. And when he does, he's like a rabid dog with a bone. The President of the United States is really lighting a match to our post World War II global order because he has this personal obsession with Greenland. Yes, Greenland. You remember he said someone was asked and he said that he needed for his psyche. I think it was even him who said it. Greenland. He is setting the planet ablaze because of Greenland. He is tanking the entire global economy because he wants his fat orange face on Mount Rushmore. And he is convinced the only way to accomplish that is through seizing this one Arctic country. scott besant you know always parrots and does exactly what the president says and now he is trying to explain why donald trump is obsessed with greenland and we meaning the united states must have it watch
is strategically important it's strategically important for his golden dome project to protect the us and he's invited canada into that if they want to pay their share and it is important that the u.s has control of greenland and that will stop any kind of a kinetic war so why not preempt the problem before it starts and likely in your view it would end in some type of diplomatic
event, not something more serious. I think that's the worst case scenario. The president always talks on the front end, shock and awe, I think, and doesn't take anything off the table, working on the negotiations on the back end or as a prelude to that.
Well, look, I think the president should take every, everyone should take the president at his word. And I think the other thing, too, is just like with Liberation Day last year, not you joe but the media has gone into hysterics the europeans are going to sell their u.s assets the u.s is not a reliable partner u.s is a reliable partner okay he he's people are fed up our allies and i'm going to play that for you in a second our allies are fed up with us
And I don't think they're fed up with the American people, maybe the ones who voted for Donald Trump, maybe the MAGA folks they're fed up with. But they're fed up with Donald Trump and his antics and the instability. By the way, Scott Besant saying, why not stop the problem before it's, preempt the problem before it starts? What problem? And how is Greenland gonna save us from, if Putin or someone decides to use a nuclear weapon, God forbid, or any sort of weapon of warfare similar to that, what is Greenland going to do for us? What is Greenland going to do for us? Scott Besant should be ashamed of himself. And Scott Besant, I mean, why are you doing this? Why is anybody in the Trump administration doing this, going along with this?
Going along with a man who's behaving like Vladimir Putin, like Xi Jinping, like a whole host of 10 pot dictators throughout history. Why is he behaving like that? I'll let Joe Scarborough over at the Morning Joe explain.
None of this is good for the United States of America, but it is great for Vladimir Putin.
All I will say is this. If Vladimir Putin were sitting in the White House, He could not do something more effectively to undermine American interests across Europe and strengthen Russian interests in Europe than what Donald Trump's doing right now in trying to blow up the NATO alliance for Greenland.
uncharacteristically calm for joe scarborough but i think it's appropriate in this moment because this a moment this moment i think it demands sobriety and to to have a clear mind about these things without histrionics donald trump is doing all of this from the white house from the people's house just this morning, he declared on social media that it's not China or Russia that is America's enemy. He's saying America's enemy is NATO, that our allies are our enemies. We're in an upside down world. It's not China, it's not Russia, but it's NATO. NATO, the Western alliance that has kept us safe for more than seven decades. Our allies did not take kindly to that. They don't take kindly to what he wants to do with Greenland or Greenland.
