[quote=Anonymous]Sorry to interrupt the bickering above, but I just learned WHY Trump has been so interested in acquiring Greenland since his first term. As we all know by now, everything is personal for Trump. Also, we know that he doesn't read and is generally ignorant about history and world events, but he's very opinionated. So what does he base his opinions on?  Often it's as simple as a friend or a Mar-a-Lago guest planting a seed in his brain. It turns out this current obsession comes from a discussion he had with a friend during his first term:

The idea to buy Greenland first came from Ronald Lauder, a cosmetics billionaire and heir to the Estée Lauder fortune, according to the 2022 book The Divider cited by The Independent. Trump and Ronald Lauder have known each other since their college days. Trump told advisers that a businessman friend believed Greenland could be bought. “A friend of mine, a really, really experienced businessman, thinks we can get Greenland,” Trump told his national security adviser. This comment led to the creation of a special team to study the idea and write a memo with options like leasing Greenland, similar to a real estate deal.

And why is Ronald Lauder interested in Greenland? As always, follow the money.
