This whole situation is classic Trump negotiations that the rest of the world simply can't understand. He wants something. So he says he wants the "something"x3.

how normal people negotiate: hey neighbor i need to park my car in your driveway
neighbor: ok sure

how trump negotiates: hey neighbor i need to park my car in your driveway, sell me your house for $10 million or i might just take it from you
neighbor: uhh how about i just let you park there?
trump: DEAL! that's what I wanted all along, art of the deal

Exhibit C

Everything Trump suggests he's getting was already available just for the asking.


He's not the first President to ask for Greenland. Didn't work out for others. We don't want to be renters, and we don't want to pay for their Socialist BS, and we don't want to share mineral rights with NATO if we are the ones having to build the massive defense systems in Greenland. We don't even know if most of Europe is going to be Germanistan/ Islam Jihadist in the next 50 years.

What Trump is asking for is much different than what NATO probably would have tried to negotiate for us to have..We want control that can't be taken away...

As Trump backed down from his demand for ownership we're not getting outright control after all, right? What we are getting is the same renter deal that was already available without alienating our NATO allies.

Mexico is next.

Honestly, I hope you're right.

They've been a legitimate clear and present danger for us for the past 50 years. They should have been dealt with a long time ago.

No free people can live with a narco State on their southern border.


Or democrats within their border

Why didn't we have that "same renter deal before"? Since it was available...

Because we never asked for it.

"Whatever the United States seeks there--overflight rights, basing rights, intelligence access or mineral exploration--Denmark and Greenland have long been willing to provide. This cooperation is grounded in the 1951 Danish-American Defense Agreement and the 1949 NATO Treaty."

I call bull*****

Trump asked about Greenland in his FIRST term and we didn't get this deal. But, you're saying it was available then.

And Trump is not even the first president that has wanted more access to Greenland and yet we didn't get this deal then, even though you say it was available....and they weren't *******s like Trump.

You can call it whatever you want, but Denmark has been a steadfast US ally and has bent over backwards to cooperate with us. Show me a reputable source proving first term Trump officially asked Denmark for more US access to Greenland and was denied.

The clear fact is that the Trumpster got it done when those before him didn't. So, good for him.

Look I get it

You aren't allowed to admit Trump and America won and so you have to regurgitate this line that he got nothing new

But that's just not true my leftist friend.

We now get full military access everywhere, not just on our bases, the ability to install new missile defenses and full mineral extraction rights. All while the Danes get to be the ones paying for the welfare of the natives.

That's an amazing deal for America and gets us everything we want. Please stop being salty and say thank you to your president

America has actually tried to acquire Greenland 3 other times, as early as 1867

Proposed United States acquisition of Greenland Article Talk Read

The US has tried to acquire Greenland before and failed

But the idea was quickly shut down by Greenlandic and Danish authorities, who insisted the island was not for sale.

He's asking for the pieces of land they give us to be Sovereign US territory which is different than in the past. Different than the defense agreements we had with them in the past. The one base we have there now is not considered "Sovereign US territory" it is just a part of a defense agreement..So the whole situation is different...They actually tried selling the land where that base is to China at one point before we had Denmark shut that down. They could take it away at any time...

I doubt Trump backed off his tarriff threats if he didn't have assurances they could come to this kind of agreement where our bases there are owned by us and would be Sovereign territory that could not be taken.
