President Donald Trump said that taking full 'ownership' over Greenland, rather than just upping the United States' military presence there, is 'psychologically important' to him during a lengthy sit-down interview with 'The New York Times'

Trump also told the Times that he isn’t opposed to using nuclear force if he “needed it” to take over the Arctic island but that “it might upset NATO," since the island is a self-governing territory of NATO member country Denmark.

      They’re still being used as a distraction from the heritage foundation’s fascist takeover of the country.

      This is the most effective distraction yet; waging war internally and threatening externally.

        I’m so tired of this stupid argument. At some point his “distractions” become worse than the Trump-Epstein files. Starting WW3 is one of those things.

          Doesn’t that make it even all the more worse? People dying in wars started by a deranged child molester. A country would rather have a war against their allies and go down in history as the greatest betrayers in history rather than admit their leader is a child molester and remove him from power.

          I don’t even think Trump cares about them. It’s not like anything would happen to him if he’s implicated in them.

          He wasn’t lying when he said he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue and no one would do a thing.

        We already have evidence of him being in there via failed redactions, realistically what more is going to happen if more is released?

          Nothing. The thing he said about openly shooting someone in the street without meaningful consequences is getting more and more true every day.

            He stole classified documents and led a violent insurrection and nothing happened. I’m not sure why people think evidence of him diddling kids would be any different.

            If anything the files are the distraction.
