Trump humiliated the United States on the world stage and threatened the alliances that made us powerful. There were gasps, groans, nervous laughter. The kind of laughter you hear when powerful people realize the guy with the big stick is a colossal loser.

He told them their countries “don’t even work” without the U.S. He joked that if America hadn’t stepped in during WWII, they’d all be speaking German and Japanese.

He confuse Greenland with Iceland and blamed “Iceland” for a stock market dip tied to investor anxiety about his Greenland threats.

All things that we already had under existing frameworks.

I don’t think we had their mineral rights, and that’s what he really cares about. This is the same thing we did to Ukraine, with Trump being a mob boss extorting money for a protection racket. He uses a threat to lay claim to another country’s assets that he can then sell off to the highest bidder and pocket his cut.

This isn’t about National Security, which gained nothing in the deal but was crippled by turning our allies against us, setting an example for our enemies that we’re all in favor of imperialist expansion, and proving to the world at large that America is not to be trusted and has switched from being a champion for freedom and justice to “the dark side”.

Trump is not motivated by principles or by the best interests of America. He is solely motivated by self-interest, as it affects his personal finances, power, and ego. He traded American safety and standing (which will have negative economic impacts) for personal profit. Mission accomplished.

I’m skeptical that any talk of mineral is at all substantive. The NATO secretary general has zero authority to offer danish mineral rights. He likely just said something consistent with existing agreements and law.

It was the minerals, all along.
“The Trump administration announced plans Tuesday to hold a critical minerals summit — a move that comes in the wake of President Trump’s ramped up pursuit of Greenland.

“On February 4, @SecRubio will welcome partners from across the globe to the State Department for the inaugural Critical Minerals Ministerial,” the department posted on social platform X.”

Art of the Deal. Everyone is thankful that we aren't invading Greenland. America gets a massive win on expanded rights to use Greenland for minerals and military purposes.

In other words, nothing really changed. But Trump's a moron with no actual knowledge on anything so we can make him think something changed.

This is the crazy part. The US already had those rights!

Everyone is thankful for the US not invading Greenland? What? Nobody trusts the US anymore. Art of the Deal.

What expanded rights? What specifically do we have now that we didn’t already have?

Exactly. Even if he actually gained something re: minerals, what Trump has lost for the U.S. this second go-round and especially this week is priceless and far more impactful for the long term. What a horrible loss because this man is a blustering egomaniac and idiot.

We have to remember that Trump is a businessman using hard negotiating tactics. You have to go in with a “high price” and that becomes an anchor for negotiations.

You don’t have to negotiate at all. Trump has won nothing from this “negotiation.” The only new item is the mineral rights, which a) may not even happen, and b) will require 100 years of investment to generate anything valuable.

Trump's high price caused countries to dump US treasuries, the world to lose trust in the US as a partner, and China to appear to be the only rational great power. Art of the Deal.

Is it standard business practice, once a deal is in place, to rob your business partner at gunpoint? I thought the only “businessmen” who used those types of “hard negotiating tactics” were usually affiliated with the mob.
