If it doesn’t work economically then the US is fucked and so are we. If trump ignores the economic impact of his adventures, he will be more than the worst US President ever. Putting a target on their backs won’t even matter in the downfall. He may have all sorts of plans but ignore the effect on the economy and he’s more a fool than many think.

Yipchaa!
I'm sorry, I'm still very far behind: why the fuck is he even interested in Greenland anyway?!
Is there any kind of historical link? Is Greenland actually just the convenient catalyst for some larger objective?

The US occupied Greenland during WW2 while Denmark was occupied by the Nazis. That's the only real link.
As to the legitimacy of claims, we're on shaky ground here regarding Denmark's claim. It is based on historical military might and subjugation of the people already living there. It is a classic example of a colony really, and if Greenlanders wanted independence, there isn't any good argument Denmark could make to oppose it.
We need to hear first and foremost from the people of Greenland here. Being realistic, a nation of 60,000 people in a strategically important area (not to mention the possible mineral wealth as the ice cap slides into the sea) is never going to be genuinely independent. They need to decide whether they want to be dominated by Denmark or dominated by the US, essentially.
Did the interviewer tell them that being taken over by the US isn't a prerequisite for getting a McDonald's?

Maybe it's because it looks really bigly on the map, if someone explained to him that it's much smaller than it looks then he might not be so enamoured.
I agree with those who say that it should be up to the inhabitants, which is the standard that should be followed in all regions of the world where there's a dispute between governments.

Don't underestimate the resources available to the USA and its director's survival instincts. Trump is being allowed his glory now but as soon as his shit takes the USA on a downward trajectory he will be got rid of, the USA wont allow itself to be fucked

I don't think Trump mentioned his plan to resume sending 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, or his proposal to "clean out" Gaza and send its residents elsewhere, while he was reaching out to Arab American voters
“I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing at a different location where they can maybe live in peace for a change,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One.
“You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say: ‘You know, it’s over.’”

It never has. Always fought against the ICC, refuses allied country’s jurisdictions when US troops have gone rogue there, doesn’t give a fuck about what the UN does or says on wars, climate change, Israeli aggression etc. Invaded other countries and interfered in democratic processes. It’s been a rogue state for decades, just ‘one of ours’.

Apparently the UK has first refusal on any fire sale of Greenland lol, can we Gazump Trump? 
Tom Høyem, Denmark’s representative to Greenland between 1982 and 1987, also said that if Denmark were to sell Greenland, it would have to give the UK first refusal under the 1917 agreement.
The British government at that time demanded it should have the first right to buy Greenland, because of the island’s proximity to Canada, then a British dominion.
