Bump.

"Greenland was a master stroke of Trump style. Negotiations. He wrote the book on the deal. Greenland and Denmark was playing checkers, while Trump and his team were playing 3D chess.
Denmark's Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen repeats it like a mantra. Greenland is part of the Kingdom, sovereignty remains intact. Formally, that's true. But she's leaving out the rest.
According to the White House, the US now has veto power over strategic investments in Greenland from countries it considers adversaries. A senior US official adds that the US can build new bases as needed.
Copenhagen and Nuuk insist sovereignty is intact. But sovereignty is about who makes the decisions. When another country can veto who invests in your land and build bases without asking first, you no longer decide alone. The keys are hanging somewhere else now.
So why doesn't she say it out loud? Because she can't. The entire Danish political class spent months whipping up a mood. Trump was cast as the enemy, the US as the threat, and the fear was milked for everything it was worth in the run-up to the election. The media played along, and large parts of the population followed like puppets without asking a single question. Emotion beat reason again.
Here's what the people ruled by their feelings missed. The White House never intended to invade an ally. The tariff threats, the talk of force, the offers to buy Greenland were leverage. Trump wrote the book on this decades ago, and anyone who looks for patterns instead of headlines could see where it was heading. You open with maximum pressure, you let the other side panic, and you close on the terms you wanted from the start. Look at what Washington walked away with: permanent basing rights, the freedom to build more, and a veto over who invests in the island. That was the goal all along.
Notch another win for maga and the Trump dream team. Liberals scream that this deal is the same as 1951. That’s typical propagandized liberal denial.
The score is Trump 874. Liberals 0.


. The USA wins when Trump wins."
