OPINION: Trump may be cruising toward a rendezvous with the 25th Amendment
You have to ask yourself — what’s going on in our commander-in-chief’s upper story? His obsession with securing Greenland's land title, even if it breaks up NATO, is absolutely bizarre. The U.S. can already use Greenland for just about anything we want–military bases, mining its minerals to our heart’s content, whatever. But Trump won't be satisfied until he has a deed to the property because, as he said, it is “psychologically important to me."
Trump has not ruled out military action to get what he wants, saying he can do it the “easy way” or the “hard way.” That echoes the threat he made before sending the military to snatch President Maduro of Venezuela. He has now threatened to impose tariffs on eight of our NATO allies — Germany, Britain, Norway, Sweden, France, the Netherlands, Finland and Denmark — who oppose the unlawful land grab. The tariffs will start at 10% on Feb. 1 and increase to 25% on June 1, until the nations cry “uncle.”
