Transcription

Chapter 1: Why did Trump threaten to invade Greenland?

0.031 - 29.11 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump has apparently caved in his threats to invade Greenland or take it over by force or acquire it. His threats against Greenland and Denmark rightfully sparked international outrage and solidarity against Donald Trump's regime. And while in Davos, Donald Trump just posted the following moments ago where he announced a fake deal with Greenland and Denmark and NATO.

29.09 - 54.379 Ben Meiselas

with no terms, with no specifics, just one of Donald Trump's fake deals as he caves in order to try to save face. Let me read it for you and then I'll also show you that Donald Trump moments ago spoke with the press where he talked about this fake deal now that he says he's entered into with Greenland and Denmark that's indefinite. And he got what he wanted the whole time.

54.7 - 65.157 Ben Meiselas

It's just so utterly pathetic and weak that he does this over and over again. And let's be clear, I'm glad that he's not going to invade Greenland, or at least he says that.

Chapter 2: What sparked international outrage against Trump's Greenland threats?

65.177 - 79.279 Ben Meiselas

But his words are meaningless. Who the hell knows what he even means at this point? It's pathetic. It's loser behavior. And the world just needs to stand up to it. And people need to stand up against this utter insanity. Here's what he posted.

79.259 - 102.33 Ben Meiselas

Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutt, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic region. This solution of consummated will be a great one for the United States of America and all NATO nations.

Chapter 3: What details are included in Trump's announced deal with Greenland?

102.31 - 122.264 Ben Meiselas

Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st. Additional discussions are being held concerning the Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. Further information will be made available as discussions progress. Vice President J.D.

122.284 - 146.492 Ben Meiselas

Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and various others as needed will be responsible for the negotiations. They will report directly to me. Thank you for your attention to this matter. You notice the fraud language he uses all the time. We are forming a framework. for a future deal with respect to fill in the blank.

0

146.512 - 155.252 Ben Meiselas

It's always a framework for something in the future, but we never get to see what the terms are. It's just yet another fake deal by Donald Trump.

Chapter 4: How does Trump try to save face with his Greenland deal?

155.352 - 179.368 Ben Meiselas

So Donald Trump held a, press briefing after he posted that, and he was asked, so what does this deal include? Will the United States have ownership of Greenland? Because that's what you've been saying over and over again, and in the speech you just made in Davos this morning at the World Economic Forum, you kept on saying that America needs to acquire it, so you're no longer doing that?

0

179.768 - 182.352 Ben Meiselas

Watch Donald Trump's response here. I'll play this clip.

0

182.332 - 185.637 Donald Trump

It's a deal that everybody's very happy with.

0

186.398 - 189.683 Caroline Leavitt

Does it still include the United States having ownership of Greenland like you've said you wanted?

0

190.904 - 207.666 Donald Trump

It's a long-term deal. It's the ultimate long-term deal. And I think it puts everybody in a really good position. especially as it pertains to security and minerals and everything else.

207.686 - 233.197 Ben Meiselas

It's a long-term deal. It's long-term. So then he's asked, how long? What are the terms? How long is the deal, Donald? And he goes, infinite. Infinite? You did an infinite deal? This is just so utterly pathetic. Infinite. And people are like, oh, the art of the deal, anybody? No, it's this. I make a stupid decision. Something really bad happens.

233.597 - 247.658 Ben Meiselas

I convince my followers the problem is now magically solved. I reverse my stupid decision. As our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, writes, I have an update on Greenland. Here's Donald Trump saying the deal will be infinite. Here, play this clip.

247.739 - 249.503 Carla Sands

How long would the deal be, Mr. President?

251.568 - 264.297 Donald Trump

Infinite. There is no time limit. It's forever. And how would you ratify the deal? It's signed forever. But you haven't signed anything yet, right? It's a deal that's forever.

Chapter 5: How did international leaders react to Trump's Greenland comments?

462.836 - 484.068 Ben Meiselas

And in response to somebody named Libby Dean, who says, during Donald Trump's World Economic Forum remarks, Trump appeared to mix up Greenland and Iceland around three times. It may have been more than that. But Trump repeatedly referred to Greenland as Iceland. Remember the video I did this morning? So then Caroline Levitt says, no, he didn't Libby.

0

484.549 - 509.393 Ben Meiselas

His written remarks refer to Greenland as a piece of ice because that's what it is. You're the only one mixing up anything here. What are you? We saw the speech. Donald Trump confused Greenland with Iceland multiple times. Even this open source intelligence defender account, which is sometimes leaning more sympathetic to Trump than I would like.

0

510.014 - 516.421 Ben Meiselas

This account even goes, he literally said Iceland several times this morning when talking about Greenland.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of Trump's Greenland deal on U.S. foreign relations?

516.822 - 531.661 Ben Meiselas

Are you stupid, Caroline? Are you just purposefully ignorant? Here was Donald Trump saying that we need to take over Greenland. And then he confused it with Iceland. And he would say, Iceland, we need to take over Iceland. Iceland, Iceland, Iceland. Listen to what he says for yourself.

0

532.202 - 543.978 Ben Meiselas

And then after giving this speech, he then announces that he made an infinite framework for a deal that will be discussed in the future. What are we talking about here? Here, play this clip.

545.74 - 570.543 Donald Trump

But the problem with NATO is that we'll be there for them 100%. But I'm not sure that they'd be there for us if we gave them the call. Gentlemen, we are being attacked. We're under attack by such and such a nation. I know them all very well. I'm not sure that they'd be there. I know we'd be there for them. I don't know that they'd be there for us.

0

570.583 - 595.537 Donald Trump

So with all of the money we expend, with all of the blood, sweat, and tears, I don't know that they'd be there for us. They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. I mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland's already cost us a lot of money. but that dip is peanuts compared to what it's gone up. And we have an unbelievable future in that.

And then state regime media, which calls itself Fox, They got to get their engine into high gear to prop up Donald Trump's new propaganda that this was all part of his plan. And then Fox was like, the stock market is booming right now because Donald Trump has announced this great deal. He's just manipulating the markets, okay?

701.69 - 718.836 Ben Meiselas

While the American people are suffering, while people are getting their healthcare ripped away, while people can't afford a home, they can't afford their rent, or if they're lucky enough, to own a home and have a mortgage. They can't afford it. People can't afford groceries. We're in a jobs recession right now, okay?

718.856 - 740.35 Ben Meiselas

People are struggling in this country and you're just playing these stupid games that have real consequences because the world is creating alliances now and cutting the United States out. And the United States is not viewed as a stable place anymore for people to look to invest or people to look at in general. The United States looks like a crazy place under a crazy wannabe king.

740.43 - 744.897 Ben Meiselas

But this is what Fox was saying. The stock market is booming now. Here, play this clip.

747.982 - 767.525 Martha McCallum

All right. Good afternoon, everybody. I'm Martha McCallum. And we got a lot of breaking news for you this afternoon and a market in America that is on fire. And here's why. Moments ago, President Trump, what a day this has been. You know, you go from the early part of the day, people with their hair on fire, leaders in Europe.

768.005 - 789.885 Martha McCallum

Now the president has posted this on Truth Social, quote, based on a very productive meeting that I've had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte,
