You know that joke about how Trump wants Greenland because of the Mercator projection?

It’s not a joke. Via a friend:
Re: Trump and Greenland … a reporter who, while aboard AF1 during Trumps’s first term, asked Trump about why he wanted Greenland. Trump gave a disturbing answer.
The reporter, who was on MSNBC today, said Trump told her that he didn’t know anything about Greenland, but he saw it on a map, and as a real estate guy, he decided that it should belong to America.
He said he didn’t know who owned it but it made perfect sense to him that a property that big should naturally be part of the United States and that he planned to negotiate to purchase it.
The fact that the U.S. has a treaty that essentially let’s America do whatever it wants there — build bases, put ships there — were not important to Trump.
He didn’t want to be a renter. He wanted to be the owner.
The reporter said she was stunned because he was dead serious. He wasn’t playing the POTUS. He was playing the real estate mogul and to him Greenland was just another real estate deal to be transacted and its inhabitants tenants.
It’s of course completely believable that Trump knew absolutely nothing about Greenland other than it looked like a whole lot of land. This also fits in with Rubio’s meeting with members of Congress today in which he told them that Trump would prefer to bribe the inhabitants to petition for secession from Denmark rather than take it by military force.
At least we’re not getting any of those “this is the day Donald Trump became president” stories any more. Apparently even the American legacy media have their limit, and he’s managed to find it, or at least some of it.
