which is a way he works a lot.

So after all the dumb imperialism, he then suggests that an American company (bribing him, and/or with ownership ties to his family) gets a good deal on something Greenland-related. Mining rights would be the obvious thing (he'd like it to be something that can be traded without actually having to fully develop a business - get the money quickly, and when it can be hyped to draw in the gullible).

Or after looking like he'd attack a NATO country, he attacks another instead (Cuba or Colombia?) and expects NATO countries to say it's OK, in relief.
