As previously posted on another post, "it was a joke", inferring Trump is so stupid (mixing up Greenland and Iceland) that he would get Iceland (the country) and Iceland (the shopping chain) confused, so would send US troops to take over the shops rather than the country…

The explanation is rather good.

But worryingly, not completely outside the boundaries of possibility!

The one thing about Trump you can depend on, is that you can’t depend on Trump being consistent…

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he had reached the “framework” of a deal on Greenland with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and that he would not impose the tariffs against Europe that he had threatened as part of an effort to acquire the Arctic territory for the United States.

The announcement, made on Trump’s social media account, was the latest head-spinning twist in his effort to seize Greenland from Denmark despite Danish and Greenlandic objections that the island is not for sale. Trump’s announcement was short on details, but the deal was likely to fall far short of the full sovereign possession that he indicated as recently as earlier Wednesday that he was seeking, given that Rutte is not empowered to negotiate the transfer of territory from one NATO member to another.

“We have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, saying that the proposed Golden Dome missile defense system was subject to further discussions “as it pertains to Greenland.”

Trump added that “Further information will be made available as discussions progress,” and that Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and envoy Steve Witkoff, “will be responsible for the negotiations,” without specifying what would be negotiated.

TACO time.

Most likely Rutte explained how NATO works, and that the USA already had the ability to use Greenland under their existing agreement with Denmark.

Probably used pretty pictures and simple words, too.

More likely someone pointed out that the US gets most of its insulin imported from Denmark. Type 2 diabetes is a big thing in America seeing as so many of them are morbidly obese and hooked on processed sugars. And insulin would likely be one of the first things to come under export control if the EU were to trigger its Anti-Coercion Instrument.

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.

Apparently, this gift from Rutte sealed the deal…

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.

It probably was new to him, as the bunch of "American First"-ers he surrounds himself with will have lied to him about NATO’s support after 9/11, and in Iraq/Afghanistan, and the fact that US bases in Europe are mostly about Power Projection, not defending Europe…

Having said that, give it a week or two, and we’ll be back on the merry-go-round…
