Trump says the western hemisphere is his. This will be correct when he gets Greenland with its east coast at 23 degrees West.
Guam is at 144 East. The total range is 193 degrees, just over a hemisphere and bigger than Putin or Xi's empire.

If he takes Falkland Islands, South Africa and Aust, NZ, he may equal the British empire at 360 degrees.
Worth a try.

I mean pay off Denmark. It's how the USA got a lot of its territory.

Yep.

They bought Alaska from the Russians (in 1867, for $7.2 million).

I think the purchase of Greenland will probably happen.

Even if Trump dies this year - which is even more likely - the rest of his corrupt MAGA/Project 2025 team will push through with the takeover (after all, it's their plan not Trump's).

Also, Crimea is peaceful by agreement that Ukraine isn't there any more.

The real reason why US wants Greenland!!!

Acquiring Greenland could give the U.S. a powerhouse location to build the next generation of AI infrastructure.

Data centers generate a staggering amount of heat, and keeping them cool isn’t cheap. Traditional cooling methods eat up nearly 40% of a data center’s energy budget. But Greenland is naturally frigid year-round, which means AI companies could replace those enormous HVAC systems with fresh, and more importantly free arctic air. That’s a game changer.

Tech giants like Google and Microsoft are already experimenting with underwater and Nordic-region data centers for this exact reason. Greenland, with its subzero climate, could be the ultimate location for cold-weather server farms.

At one time supporters of the right would draw a line somewhere, at some disgusting insane point, at something so disgraceful but not any more. There is simply no limit to team authoritarian. Invading countries, unleashing the SS onto the streets or running an insurection, Anything at all is fair game.

You'd better watch it then, duckwit, so you don't end up as turducken at the next Leibstandarte SS Adolf Trumpitler banquet.

That's correct.

What the geriatric rapist & convicted felon in the White House is doing is ridiculous, and totally unnecessary, but if he really wants Greenland there's nothing that can stop him.

Trumps illegal action in Venezuela is likely part of this Greenland potential invasion. With the armed forces willingly taking illigal orders in smaller actions would likely prepare the way for them to take more meaningful illegal orders, like an illegal invasion.
