“My son, Don Jr, and various representatives, will be traveling there to visit some of the most magnificent areas and sights. “Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation. We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside World. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!”.
“They, and the Free World, need safety, security, strength, and PEACE! This is a deal that must happen. MAGA. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!”. Don Jr described the fly-in visit as a “personal day-trip” to greet the locals and said no meetings were planned with government officials.
Although it is still two weeks before Trump is even inaugurated as America’s next president, he is already clearly looking ahead to his next administration and the prospect of landing a major legacy achievement like expanding the geographic reach of the United States.
He previously expressed an interest in buying Greenland in 2019 during his first term, even posting a meme imaging a Trump International Hotel towering above its chilly landscape, only to be rebuffed by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who remains in power and appears unlikely to have changed her mind about the prospect in the interim.
