Donald Trump isn’t afraid to say what’s on his mind. That’s what makes him so polarizing of a figure.
And President Trump made a hilarious comment about this country that you don’t want to miss.
President Donald Trump is once again proving why he’s the leader America needs, pushing hard for the U.S. to outright buy Greenland and lock it down before American enemies swoop in. This isn’t some pie-in-the-sky idea—it’s about raw national security in a world where Russia and China are circling like sharks.
Aboard Air Force One Sunday night, Trump laid it out plain and simple when reporters grilled him on whether America had floated an offer to snag the Arctic giant from Denmark. He shut down any talk of half-measures, making it crystal clear that leasing isn’t on the table.
“I haven’t done that. Greenland should make the deal because Greenland does not want to see Russia or China take over,” he stated.
“Basically, their defense is two dog sleds. You know that? You know what their defense is? Two dog sleds.”
Trump didn’t stop there, painting a vivid picture of the dangers lurking in those icy waters. He hammered home how vulnerable Greenland is right now, with barely any muscle to fend off aggressive moves from Moscow or Beijing.
“In the meantime, you have Russian destroyers and submarines, and China destroyers and submarines all over the place,” Trump said.
“We’re not going to let that happen, and if it affects NATO, then it affects NATO. But, you know, they need us more than we need them, I will tell you that right now.”
This is Trump at his best—calling out the weak spots in global alliances and putting America first. He’s demanding action to protect U.S. interests in the Arctic, where control means everything for trade routes, resources, and military positioning.
The president doubled down on ownership, rejecting any short-term rental nonsense. For Trump, it’s all or nothing when it comes to securing this strategic gem.
“If we don’t do it, Russia or China will, and that’s not going to happen when I’m president,” the president stated.
His words come hot on the heels of fresh resistance from Greenland’s bigwigs, who are digging in their heels against any U.S. takeover.
Top Trump officials are backing the boss all the way, stressing how Greenland’s spot on the map makes it basically a must-have for keeping America safe.
Per The Associated Press, Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen teamed up with four party heads to fire back Friday night, flat-out rejecting ties to either the U.S. or Denmark.
“We don’t want to be Americans, we don’t want to be Danes, we want to be Greenlanders,” they stated. They also added that the “future must be decided by the Greenlandic people.”
Their joint blast also took a swipe at Washington’s tone, demanding an end to what they call disrespect. “As Greenlandic party leaders, we would like to emphasize once again our wish that the United States’ contempt for our country ends,” the statement read.
Meanwhile, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen jumped in last week, stirring the pot by claiming Trump’s push could hurt NATO. She warned that any forceful U.S. move against an ally would k*ll the whole pact that’s held since the end of World War II.
“If the US chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops,” Frederiksen said to TV2. Nielsen piled on via Facebook, declaring Greenland is “not an object of superpower rhetoric.”
But Trump’s not talking invasion—he’s talking a smart deal that benefits everyone by beefing up defenses against real aggressors. Greenland’s leaders might posture about sovereignty, but without U.S. might, they’re sitting ducks for Putin or Xi’s ambitions. This is the wake-up call the West needs, and Trump’s the only one bold enough to make it.
