Trump’s a schoolyard bully, he will keep pushing until someone slaps him and then he’ll back off and claim he event lay got what he was playing for all along. He’s not going to invade and he’s almost certainly not going to buy it either, because even if Denmark were to be persuaded by bags of gold, the Greenlanders know the cash in their pockets as a one-off wouldn’t last long once they were forced to pay for America-style healthcare.

Type 2 diabetes is most often controlled with dietary changes and exercise plus medication in the form of tablets. Insulin isn't usually prescribed as the body can often still produce insulin but people become insulin resistant as most often found in older peopler and the obese. Though ozempic etc were created for use to treat it too. Type 1 has to be treated with insulin as the pancreas usually doesn't function at all.
Seems like they managed to sell him the existing deal as if it was new.
