President Donald Trump has said the U.S. will revisit its stance on Greenland in the coming weeks.

Asked if he expected to take action on the territory, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday: “Let’s talk about Venezuela, Russia, Ukraine. We’ll worry about Greenland in about two months. Let’s talk about Greenland in 20 days.”

He added: “We need Greenland from a national security situation. It’s so strategic.”

    You are under the mistaken impression that Trump is in charge. His dementia is far worse than just a few years ago, even two years ago. This time around his handlers have figured out how to manipulate him.

    Taking Greenland isn’t Trump’s idea. If he wasn’t being fed ideas like this, he’d be plenty happy getting fatter, napping and continuing the grift from the Resolute desk.

    The US is going to take Greenland. As global warming rolls on, mineral extraction becomes easier and more profitable, and Arctic sea lanes will open year-round. If you were playing Risk, taking Greenland would be a no-brainer.
