It is just the "big ask", IMHO. You have already a military base in what was previously called Thule. Many countries - USA included - have bought mining rights to rare earth minerals. I presume all Trump wants, is to avoid Russia and China to get a stronghold in Greenland. I'm pretty sure Denmark would agree here...
That was actually explicitly part of his motivations. And Denmark responded. Albeit modestly. By beginning the process of upgrading the Airport to accommodate F-35s and Fighter Aircraft. Funding a couple more Icebreakers/Patrol Boats.
Much like part of his motivation for demanding back the Panama Canal. Is at least in part because China is getting too friendly with the Panamanian Government. And partly because Panama isn’t holding up their end of the deal and keeping the Canal updated and maintained. To ensure speedy passage of things like U.S Warships.
And his harping on annexing Canada. Is because the Canadian Military isn’t in good shape to deal with domestic problems in Canada. Such as unrest from the Diversity. Let alone fend off Chinese and Russian attempts to move into and conduct operations in the Arctic. Not to mention the risk of Woke Canadian Foreign Policy and uncontrolled immigration is to U.S National Security.
Drugs, Weapons, and People have been moving across our Northern Border. While attention is primarily focused on the Southern Border.
And Unconfirmed Rumors indicate Federal and State Authorities have been locating Weapon Stockpiles on the Northern Border. Chinese Weapons Stockpiles.
Another problem with Canada is a weak posture with respect to Arctic Ocean control. Canada has the most Arctic coastline for North America, all the way from the Yukon to Baffin Island.
Sometimes I wonder if Greenland was getting by financialy because the deep state paid them for land use to put up all their HARP weapons and such. But Im guessing that's less of a problem now🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Cool. We wouldn't need a passport to visit.

Ty for the write up
Get Greenland for USA 50 and give Hawaii away to be its own independent Shithole Country.
Including Pearl Harbor, the Haleakala facility, and the Kuai'i test range? Why would you call Hawaii a "shithole country"?
Oh the land itself is beautiful and stunning for sure, but when it comes to the ballot box its almost the bluest state, and that can't be fixed.

This is the application of a doctrine called Monroe. Panama too.
