    Trump also reiterated his plans to control Greenland, downplaying the likelihood of resistance from Europe.

    “I don’t think they’re going to push back too much,” he said. “We have to have it …They can’t protect it.”

    Referring to Denmark’s historical claims over Greenland, Trump said the Danish leaders were “very good people,” but argued that a centuries-old presence did not confer ownership.

    Gaslighting at it’s best 😅

    ″[Just] because the boat went there 500 years ago and then left, that doesn’t give you title to property.” It was not clear what “boat” Trump was referring to.

    But here I am pretty sure he was talking about Columbus and all the white people, how they cannot rightfully own America.

      That line is even crazier. The Norse established a settlement in 986 in Greenland. The funny part is that the Thule people, the ancestors of the Inuit arrived later then them and replaced the Dorest culture on Greenland and then later the Norse as well. Obviously there is a fairly direct linkt between the Norse and Danes.
