I think there was a plot to kill him on his way to Davos. That's why AF 1 turned around and he switched planes.
THE ADVENTURES OF THE 47TH PRESIDENT....

That would not surprise me. The cover story about an electrical issue might be true but at this point you can't dismiss anything. Let's just say the davos crowd probably would have cheered if they announced his plane went down.

I watched most of the Davos speech, while I agree he wasnt being very diplomatic about it, but he didnt intend to be diplomatic. Sometimes diplomacy isnt called for. We have been carrying Europe and NATO in particular since the end of WWII and they have repeatedly spit in our faces over the years. He has been the only POTUS to tell them how it is and make headway into them carrying their fair share. Fuck em all.

I heard one commentator opine that maybe his intent all along was to get the rest of the world to understand what MAGA is all about and year two or two point five will be to go after the scum bags bent on destroying our Republic. Sounds good, I hope it is so.

Whatever is going on the market just jumped ahead when President Trump announced in discussions with Danes he”got everything he wanted about Greenland…. And the length of the deal was infinite “

I just saw that he cancelled the tariff threats when the EU agreed to back the framework of the Greenland deal.

So what's the real reason for the acquisition of Greenland?
I highly doubt it's for national security. If it was we would have acquired it long ago. That and for national security, 2 of the 3 US military bases would have never been shut down.
I remember reading something of it is rich in oil and minerals. Minerals of all sorts. I think my memory serves me correctly......

Its minerals for one. I read some time ago about China and Russia mining there without authorization. Its also about trade routes, EU has been shipping around Greenland as the route is shorter and more profitable, dont want China having control of that just like they were trying to take control of the Panama Canal when Brandon was playing POTUS here.
Was abandoning Panama to China a good idea? Democrat Communists were in charge.
Russia and China want Greenland .... Bad. Are they idiots?
One look at a map will affirm how strategic Greenland is.
But ... no. Greenland is not enormous. That's just an artifact of transferring a spherical world to a flat map.

So ... Greenland is slightly larger than Saudi Arabia.
Several U.S. Presidents have expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, including William H. Seward, Harry Truman, and Donald Trump, each motivated by strategic and resource considerations.
Historical Context of U.S. Interest in Greenland
- William H. Seward (1867): After the U.S. purchased Alaska, Secretary of State Seward advocated for acquiring Greenland, viewing it as a strategic asset rich in natural resources. However, this interest did not lead to a formal offer as Congress showed little enthusiasm for further Arctic acquisitions.
2 - William Howard Taft (1910): Under President Taft, U.S. diplomats proposed a complex land exchange involving Greenland, but this plan was rejected by Denmark and did not materialize.
2 - Harry Truman (1946): Following World War II, President Truman's administration made a formal offer of $100 million in gold to purchase Greenland, citing its strategic importance during the Cold War. This offer was also rejected by Denmark, although the U.S. maintained military access to the island.
2 - Donald Trump (2019, 2025): President Trump reignited interest in Greenland during his first term, suggesting the U.S. should acquire the territory to prevent Russian and Chinese influence. His administration's push included public statements and discussions about the strategic value of Greenland, particularly its natural resources and military significance. Trump's interest continued into his second term, where he emphasized the need for U.S. control over Greenland for national security reasons.

Those of you who know me here may recall, my advocation of this.
I always said they were closed so the lunatics could freely roam and prey on society.
Some of these institutions were poorly run and conducted bad practices. This produced an overall bad public image of asylums, necessitating their closures. I would say it safe to assume these bad examples were funded by the deep state. There has been a decades old plan to destroy the constitutional republic.
