    The Americans will gain absolutely nothing that they don’t already have.

    Not true. They’ll gain the thing that they actually want, possible mineral and oil fields, even though nobody is asking for it. Trump sees dollar signs, even though as per usual it’s terrible business, but he has a military to enforce his wants so we’re all fucked

    Trump is a mobster wannabe if mobsters were just terribly dumb

    Even the oil companies don’t want Venezuela, yet he invaded it for them anyway

      They already have access to mineral and oil rights in Greenland. This is literally just about the words on the map, just like Gulf of Mexico.

      US companies can apply for mineral extraction in Greenland if they want, there is nothing stopping them. Greenland would be quite happy for the tax.

      Also he probably looks at a Mercator projection map and thinks New Trumpistan would be just YUGE. Trump the great they will call him in his own imagining of history.
