    Do you think this Greenland idea came from him? Greenland has vast amounts of mineral resources being exposed due to melting glaciers and, more importantly in a U.S that is pumping out more groundwater than is being replaced, a massive amount of fresh water.

    He may not realize any of that or care, but he’s not the one who is actually in charge either.

      Of course not. Trump has never had an original idea of his own - apart perhaps the late great Hannibal Lecter and whale-killing windmills. But he’s the one who’s stupid enough to spell them out.

        Right, so it’s not about analyzing what he wants. It’s about analyzing what the people controlling him want. And they want Greenland for a reason beyond Trump’s dementia-addled fantasies.

        They don’t even want to talk about the water part. That would mean admitting there’s a major water crisis in America. And the tech bros won’t like that because they really need all that water for their AI data centers.
