@Piano-Dad said in Land grab:

That asshole just likes to hear himself talk.

He talked about Greenland during his last term.

First sign of dementia is repeating oneself, especially crazy things...

Just taking a cue from his buddy Putin.

Why is anyone taking this seriously? WaPo has a long article on it.

It’s not going to happen.

Stephen Farnsworth, a political science professor at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia, said Trump tweaking friendly countries harkens back to an aggressive style he used during his days in business.

“You ask something unreasonable and it’s more likely you can get something less unreasonable,” said Farnsworth, who is also author of the book “Presidential Communication and Character.”
