Why is Trump SO OBSESSED with "owning" Greenland? Very few people live there, I'm sure the mineral resources aren't priceless and unable to be found elsewhere, and we already have a base there for security.

What could possibly be SO IMPORTANT about having this chunk of land? It's totally laughable to make this a state. Plus it would be another blue state. Republicans hate adding blue states to the US. See Puerto Rico and D.C.
