Trump on Greenland : Just because they landed a boat there 500 years ago doesn’t mean they own the land

The US literally signed a treaty with Denmark in 1917 that says Denmark owns Greenland.

On top of that, I'm sure this is a topic the indigenous Americas have an opinion about stemming from 1492 onward.

Christopher Columbus is confused

The only good thing about the existence and now decline of the American empire is that the nonsense vomited and regurgitated is sometimes funny. 😅

Columbus arrived 534 years ago. Just saying......

Okay. And Denmark colonized Greenland 305 years ago. So what's your point?

using his rhetoric it means he has nothing to say about the usa either and anyone is welcomed to take it (but i doubt anyone with a sane mind would wanna have it)

The point is that the US doesn't own the land either, if we're going to take the word of the US President.

The way i see it he is so desperate to make big historical marks before he dies and hes getting desperate.

This is the Putin strategy too. Wants to be known as "Trump the Great" or something like a tsar.

He'll already go down in history as the president with the most sex crimes.

Why, why doesn’t anyone just say “are you fucking stupid?” to his face. Just once, anyone please? I’d do it, but sadly I can’t get near him.

You expect a guy like Miller or Vance to say that? Vance just announced that ICE will start knocking down people's doors next month. He's surrounded by people who are getting exactly what they want.

Wait. Is this... the Onion. Oh, it's not. JFC.

Just because there's matter existing between his ears doesn't mean he has a brain.

No Don. The document your country signed specifically saying they own the land, means they own the land.
