Trump offered to buy the vast Danish territory during his first term in office -- receiving an abrupt refusal -- and he revived his push over the weekend when naming his ambassador to Copenhagen for his incoming administration.
Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede quickly sought to quash any chance of a deal. "Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom," Mute Egede said in a statement.
Greenland, the world's largest island, is an autonomous Danish territory with its own parliament, about 55,000 inhabitants, and a small pro-independence movement. It relies on Denmark to fund more than half of its public budget.
Trump on Sunday posted that "for purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity."

Luigi Fabbri (1877 - 1935)
Sun Dec 23, 1877
Luigi Fabbri, born on this day in 1877, was an anarchist writer, theorist, and educator from Italy. Starting from the age of sixteen, Fabbri spent many years in prison for his anarchist activism.
Fabbri was a prolific contributor to the anarchist press in Europe and later South America, including co-editing, along with Errico Malatesta, the paper "L'Agitazione". In 1936, he published "Dictatorship and Revolution", an anarchist response to Vladimir Lenin's work "The State and Revolution". In his work "Marxism and Anarchism", Fabbri makes distinct the political philosophies of anarchism and Marxism.
In 1929, Fabbri fled Europe to Uruguay with his family before settling in Buenos Aires and continuing his writing with the anarchist newspaper "The Protest". He was also a journalist in the Rio Plata region, where he dealt with the political and trade union problems of the local workers' movement, in which there was a strong anarchist presence.
"But in politics, the winner is in the right, even if he is wrong: and whoever leaves the field comes off worse."

It's All About Perception

Trump is following. He’s trying to pretend otherwise but he’s following. And unlike all of Trump’s other bad hires or hires he gets tired of, he can’t just shitcan Musk. Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollars. He’s got a bigger megaphone. And he’s got his own brand. I’m pretty sure there will eventually be a really big and really ugly falling out between the two of them. But it will take a while to get there and the costs are potentially quite large for both of them.
Trump has sewn himself into a sack with Elon Musk, a few billion dollars, a cat and a snake, and had the sack tossed into the Tiber. That’s the story here. And it will go on for a while.

Lucky for me my parents were both "I didn't save anything for retirement, my kids will take care of me when I'm older", so I don't have to suffer through this.
