"Yeah, I don't say this lightly. I think this might be the most mentally ill, deranged thing that Donald Trump has done to date, to be threatening our allies and wanting to go to war, potentially over Greenland, when his reasoning doesn't even make sense."
"He says we need Greenland because Russia and China will take over Greenland if we don't. But then he invites [Russian President] Vladimir Putin to sit on his [Gaza] Board of Peace. Make it make sense for me because it doesn't make any sense. And as Michael laid out, there's plenty of other solutions we could do with the Danish government if we wanted more minerals, for example. But Trump is not doing that."
"He's alienating our allies. And I think the voters who voted for him are really frustrated because people did not vote for him to take over Greenland. They voted for him because they wanted more affordable health care. They wanted lower costs of groceries at the grocery store. They want to be able to buy a home. These are not the things he's prioritizing. Instead, he's prioritizing this over his own vanity."
President Donald Trump pursued the acquisition of Greenland, prompting resistance from European leaders who assert Greenland is protected by NATO. The president announced 10% tariffs on eight European countries amid the dispute. The Greenland push has been characterized as irrational and potentially dangerous, with warnings it could threaten alliances and raise the risk of conflict. Critics point to contradictions in claims about Russian and Chinese threats while citing the president's outreach to Vladimir Putin. Observers noted alternative diplomatic channels with Denmark to access minerals and argued the focus on Greenland diverts attention from voter priorities like healthcare, groceries, and housing.
