Trump Sends Ted Cruz to Make a Deal.. Regrets It Immediately - Rebel HQ



Ted Cruz is carrying out Trump’s long-standing obsession with acquiring Greenland, but Denmark isn’t having it. The senator even told Danish officials, “Everything’s for sale,” as he pushed for U.S. control over the Arctic territory. Now, the backlash is growing as experts warn this is all about imperial power and resource control—not national security.

Probably because he lost the title of Most Loathsome person in our government to the orange sociopath.

It's not about strategic bases, it's about oil.
They weren't satisfied drilling in Artic,
They weren't satisfied with tar sands,
now they want to drill in Greenland,
oil reserves underground.
Don't be fooled.

Much less anything regarding high-level international relations. Any president who thinks Cruz can persuade Greenland to become the 51st state is a president who can be defeated.
