Trump: "The people of Greenland would love to become a state of the US. Now, Denmark maybe doesn't like it. But then we can't be too happy with Denmark and maybe things have to happen with respect to Denmark having to do with tariffs."

Bzzzttt. Nope. 100% wrong. Only 6% of the population favors becoming part of the US.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jan/28/85-of-greenlanders-do-not-want-to-join-us-says-new-poll

New opinion poll shows 85% of Greenlanders do not want to join US

A new opinion poll shows 85% of Greenlanders do not want their island to become a part of the United States, after Donald Trump called for the US to take control of the semi-autonomous Danish territory.

Since his re-election, Trump has reiterated his interest in acquiring the Arctic island, which is controlled by Denmark but has a large degree of autonomy.

Speaking onboard Air Force One on Saturday, Trump said: “I think we’re going to have it,” and claimed that the Arctic island’s 57,000 residents “want to be with us”.

But a new survey by pollster Verian, commissioned by the Danish paper Berlingske, showed only 6% of Greenlanders are in favour of becoming part of the US, with 9% undecided.

There was an article about rare earth and micro chip deal. American auto industry is about to go under because of the chips. Biden got the Chips Act and Trump stopped it. The last time was because the only plant that made the chips for cars burned down. This time it's trump's tariff taxes and not bargaining in good faith. But the biggest reason is stopping the chips from being manufactured because of his tariffs and making it hard to sell American made products.
What country is he trying to make great again? It sure is not the United States of America.
