Trump Discusses Greenland

Well, here we go again—President Trump brings up Greenland, and predictably, the media has another meltdown over it. But let’s pump the brakes and actually look at what’s going on here, shall we?

On Friday, President Trump didn’t just throw out a wild idea for the fun of it. He made a clear case: Greenland isn’t just some icy outpost with polar bears and snowdrifts—it’s a strategic jackpot. While the usual suspects roll their eyes and pretend this is some sort of real estate fever dream, Trump and Vice President JD Vance are over here playing geopolitical chess while the rest of the world clutches their pearls. And let’s be honest—someone needs to be paying attention, because guess who is? Russia and China.

That’s right. While Denmark and Greenland’s leadership hem and haw about sovereignty and independence, Russian and Chinese vessels are increasingly making the Arctic look like rush hour in Shanghai. Trump spelled it out: this isn’t about just protecting America’s backyard—this is about keeping global power-hungry regimes from turning the Arctic into their new playground. And if folks want to pretend Denmark has this covered, let’s just point out the obvious—they don’t. Not even close.

Vice President Vance and second lady Usha Vance made their trip to Greenland with Utah Senator Mike Lee and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, because—brace yourself—they actually care about what’s going on up there. The Pituffik Space Base isn’t just a frozen outpost; it’s home to vital operations that detect missile threats and keep an eye on space. That’s not the kind of place you ignore, and it sure isn’t the kind of place you want adversaries creeping up on.

But here’s where it gets really interesting: even as Denmark insists it has things under control, its record with the Greenlandic people tells a different story. We’re talking about decades of mistreatment—literally. In May 2024, a group of Greenlandic women sued the Danish government for being fitted with intrauterine devices without consent. That’s not ancient history—that’s a raw, open wound that Denmark would rather brush under the rug. And yet, when Trump mentions acquiring Greenland, it’s suddenly outrageous and offensive? Give us a break.

To make matters worse, the Democrats continue to paint Trump supporters as uneducated idiots. This isn’t a good look for them:

Denmark and Greenland started investigating that disturbing chapter back in 2022, and we’re still waiting on the report. In the meantime, the Trump team has made it clear—they’re going to talk about it. No sugar-coating, no diplomatic tap dancing. When Vice President Vance speaks, it won’t just be about strategy and military assets—it’ll be about accountability and standing up for people who’ve been ignored for too long.

Let’s not forget the part that really makes Washington’s elite squirm: Greenland is rich in natural resources. We’re talking oil, gas, rare earth minerals—exactly the kind of stuff Russia and China love to exploit. So if they’re investing in Greenland, building ties, expanding operations—why wouldn’t the United States be doing the same? Unless, of course, you think global security is better left to Beijing and Moscow. (Spoiler alert: it’s not.)

But of course, the idea that America should take the lead on Arctic security, energy independence, and defending vulnerable communities is just too much for the left to handle. Instead, they treat Trump’s Greenland vision like it’s another punchline—ignoring the serious threats, the serious resources, and the serious moral failures of the so-called “responsible” European powers.

Funny how that works.

Bottom line: while the media grumbles and Europe dodges responsibility, Trump and Vance are actually doing something. They’re thinking long-term. They’re standing up to tyrants. And they’re calling out hypocrisy in broad daylight. The Arctic is heating up—and not just because of climate change. It’s time to take it seriously.
