Is this 3 more examples that Trump thinks he is king of the World?

In less than a week Trump has demanded that other countries start buying more oil from the US or face stiff tariffs. He has threatened to take back the Panama Canal. And he is now saying that the US owner ship of Greenland “is an absolute necessity”.

Soon Trump will be having weather reporters walking from town to town and saying – looks like reign. Cheers!

    The idea about buying Greenland has come up many times over the last century even prior to Trump's proposals. It's a complicated subject, so I wouldn't count it as one of the three.

    I thought the Greenland thing was just a Trump thing. But I thought it was because maybe he was fooled into thinking that Greenland was the green one when it was actually Iceland that was green (like the Vikings thing). Cheers!

    Fun fact: Canada wanted to buy Greenland after WWI.

    Trump has withheld allocated military aid for the Ukraine – and maybe it was juat because the Ukraine president wouldn’t dig up dirt on the Biden’s.Trump has said he doesn't care what Russia does in the Ukraine and maybe that is because he wants Russia to win and owning Greenland is part of the plan.

    Thought I would add one of my poems.

    Tanks, planes and amphibious vehicles were sent into battle.

    But politics, money and deception won the war.


    Cheers and happy Holidays!

    Greenland is an autonomous Danish territory.  Why would they want to be purchased by the U.S.

    The treaty was written up to say if they do not operate it properly the US can take control.  Megan McCain (who hates Trump) says Trump is correct about the Panama Cannal.  I think he should put her in charge of it. (Nothing else of course)

    Let the people of Greenland vote an see what they want

    Those countries are buying oil from Russia,  that is stupid. They are financing Russias military.

    Not sure what you're saying about the treaty. I know the US can intervene if the canal does not remain neutral,  but other than that, I don't know know of any requirements to 'operate it properly '. Trump has objected to the fees, but I haven't seen numbers to support the fees or to prove they are too high. I would need to see a history of fees adjusted for inflation, an accounting of any infrastructure improvement costs since Panamatook control, and the impact of recent droughts on traffic and operating costs. As of now, the Panama Canal doesn't have a lot of competition, but Mexico is planning their own canal, which would change things. 

    The majority people of Greenland are in favor of independence from Denmark. I'm sure they feel the same about the US.

    These are the countries buying Russian fuel.  Should we buy them, too?
