Trump says Greenland will be under US control by the time he leaves office - AOL
President Donald Trump has predicted that Greenland will be under U.S. control by the time he leaves office in January 2029.
Trump has fiercely pushed to acquire the semi-autonomous Danish territory in the Arctic since before he returned to the Oval Office. The globally unpopular move has helped strain America’s relationship with its European allies, who see it as a threat to Greenlanders’ sovereignty.
Real America’s Voice host Steve Gruber told Trump during an audio interview Friday, “I made a prediction on this program that before you left office, that Greenland would be under our operational control.”
Like fuck it will

How are these not threats of violence?
If a random country's ruler said, "We will take Utah by 2029", America would have kidnapped the entire family and killed a few hundred people in the process.
There’s a silver lining in it though. If some act of violence by god, or some unhappy trump supporter causes him to technically never leave office, then this will be among the Chief Pedophile’s best aged proclaims.
No zombies. Dead means left office. There is a succession plan in place, which is the "no zombie" clause.
I am not even sure all of the continental US will be under his operational control by the time he leaves office.
I’m more sure that it won’t than it will
His sphincters aren't.
I’m not entirely sure all of the current US will be under federal control by the time he leaves office…
Edit: thanks to DoctorNope for demonstrating that I’ve never had an original thought
The EU really needs to actively, and covertly, fund secession movements within the USA. Do to them what they have been doing for decades around the world, and are actively trying to do to us right now.
Yeah can we defederate from the USA?
That's already happening on many levels. Military agreements with Canada, rolling out European payment system, stripping out Microsoft. There are a lot of things moving.
Probably have and realized a good chunk of us who would actually get down with that would just rather return to their home turf as decided by a fuckin 23andMe😂
Well, the US did it to the EU by funding Leave in the UK (most notably via Cambridge Analitica), so it would be perfectly fair.
So he will leave office? We have it in writing.
For a day before he coups the goverment due to "election fraud".
If he believes he has that much support he's even more delusional than I thought.
No matter how delusional you think he is, him and his cronies hold one of the most powerful offices on the planet (until they wreck that too I guess).
watch... he will sign an executive order declaring that his moldering corpse is required to be put on display in the White House Oval Office for eternity.
The only thing that will happen for sure is that he will shit himself every day.
Too shit or not too shit
trump just doesn't understand the notion of "NO". no wonder he's accused of being a rapist.
Not accused, adjudicated. He IS a rapist.
Trump was never told NO when he was growing up. every time he asked mommy and daddy to let him rape people... they said "yes my darling little orange turd". and he lapped it up.
Epstein files?
Trump-Epstein files. Trumpstein files
You'd think NATO would have some written protections about not threatening to annex other members.
NATO has always been first and foremost a tool for US control, it didn't really matter when the children were fighting because the US could just tell them to cut it out, but now the parent is bullying the kids and the kids are wondering what the point of this arrangement even is.
The only party threatening to disband NATO is Trump.
Well on the bright side this means that won’t happen.
What won't happen, that he voluntarily leaves office before his death?
Any unequivocal statement Trump makes tends to be grade A bullshit
I honestly try my best not to listen to Trump speak because it seems to hurt my brain and be bad for my soul, so maybe I'm just misinformed here, but I'm surprised that Trump would even acknowledge that he'll be leaving office.
He probably means when he dies.
this is great news!
it means he's planning on leaving office!
🤔 then again....he never delivers on his promises, so does that mean he's expecting to never take control of Greenland and thus never leave office?
silver lining, moving to Greenland will be a win/win.
Remember: TACO.
just like he is going to win the war with Iran...
meh he'll be dead by the end of next year anyway so JD can get a full 10 year term.
I've heard "he's right on the verge of dying" for 10 years. Same with Putin. I'm not holding my breath. He won't go on his own, he needs a helping mob with a bit of rope.
I think Theil will help. With his grooming of JD all the way to the office of VP and his weird obsession with the antichrist, it would be fitting.
This feels like the monkey's paw-level curse. I hate it.
Better to link to the original article than AOL.
Why have there been so many articles posted on Lemmy recently where people are linking to the MSN, Yahoo, or apparently AOL version instead of the original?
People probably use news portals like AOL for the convenience of finding articles from a variety of sources, but doing so also makes it harder for people to determine the source of that information or block content from certain outlets.
It's just kind of surprising that users on a decentralized platform would go out of their way to use an ad/user tracking platform rather than an RSS feed or something more privacy friendly.
Ultimately I think the Threadiverse would be well-served with user growth, even beyond a privacy-focused niche, but there should always be a baseline of quality to acceptable news sources, something that news portals obscure.
So, not much difference between US and Russian administrations.
The US isn't under his control during his time in office. The man can't even win a war he started with the biggest military in history. If there was a wet paper bag in the room he would be found within it and lost.

Why does the phrasing "when he leaves office" send shivers down my spine?
Not as long as it's feet-first and soon.
Quit giving him attention.
