He says we need Greenland as national security now that the melting ice will give a new trade route to Russia.

There are no real climate change denialists in power. None. It’s always been used as a propaganda tool to increase corporate profits.

It does not matter what he believes. It is not a factor for him. His new head of EPA just said his priority will be to reduce the costs of housing, vehicles, and energy.

He (i.e. Putin) suggests taking Greenland to get Europe to distrust the US and to undermine NATO, and to cause a distraction.

1) Trump has said that Climate Change is one of the great scams.

2) Trump wants Greenland for placement of missiles, and their rare earth minerals.

3) Trump only talks about wanting to make Canada a U.S. State as a distraction.
If it magically became a State today, there would be another 45 or 50 Democrats in Congress, and two more Senators.

The majority of people believe in climate change, it’s a matter of whether they believe humans affect it or not. I don’t know where Trump is on it.

I think action speaks louder than words. Here is a list from Time Magazine of all the Climate change initiatives that Trump has rolled back. Trump shoots crap out of his mouth that he believes will get people on his side.
First of all. Russia is our friend now so no need to spy on them any more.
Second, We have to protect ourselves from Russia.
Third, and probably the most honest thing he has said. We can make Greenland and ourselves rich. He wants to plunder Greenland.

So I say it really doesn’t matter what he believes because he doesn’t care about the planet or American lives or even the lives of the people from his family. He just intends to feed his ego and his wallet till he dies. I said it long ago that Putin would invade Ukraine for its minerals and I was right, and Trump will do the same if Congress doesn’t stop him. But by the time Congress lifts their head out of his ass, it will be to late because they will receive their eviction notice. There will not be another election in 4 years unless he dies in office.
I pray I am wrong, but history has taught me that it will repeat. WWlll here we come.

Who knows what he believes or doesn’t believe. All youre seeing is the last idea someone mentioned to him in passing repeated without thought.

This administration contradicts itself everyday. They don’t even believe in themselves.

Greenland has a strategic location as well as resources. And President Trump is not the first US president to voice an interest in obtaining it. I believe Truman was the first for that. The US has had a base there in Thule for a long time.
