Donald Trump likely 'posturing' with Greenland comments

US Political Consultant Aidan Smith claims US President-elect Donald Trump was "posturing" when he made those comments regarding purchasing Greenland.

Mr Trump stated he hoped to buy the island after taking office in January.

“I think it basically is posturing,” Mr Smith told Sky News Australia.

Is any news outlet reporting the fees Panama charges US ships? It’s $200, 000 to $300, 000 USD. depending on the size of the vessel and other criteria. It could be lower, but those prices are obscene and an obvious shake down

Rather than trying to second guess President Trump's motives, we should all just sit back, relax and watch him work. America is in great hands with President Trump. He's one of the very few presidents that have ever put America first. I would say President Trump has everything well under control. His cabinet member picks seem to be pretty solid if. one of them doesn't work out, they can always be replaced. That's not a problem.

Could be. But every argument I’ve heard so far makes me think it’s a good idea

First Greenland; then Canada; and then Oz!

Wouldn't the Eskimos who live there, the Danish Government and King Frederick have something to say about selling Greenland.

T should threaten Australia with tariff unless it becomes the 52nd state!

This is like Amateur hour. Zoom from home guy who seems to know nothing but what come across his Facebook feed. Repeats headlines of others back to us. Draws poor conclusions so he can make obvious predictions about things that not even going on and then isn’t sure of current status of topics and has zero info just what he took from others. Then you have the genius’ They made the choice to make this segment and use him to basically say the angles they want so they can shit on their false reality they created.

I recall years ago Trump spoke of purchasing Greenland. Actually it's not a bad idea. Denmark could make some bucks and so can we.

Well, he is a bully, this kind of behaviour from him should be expected and people (leaders and political representatives of other countries) should be prepared to retort and respond appropriately 🤷🏻.

[unvaccinatedAndPureBlood]

Naw, he isnt. China has investments there, that's why he is tslkong about it.

😂 Musk is not paid. Get a new correspondent

[jeff]

OF course he is posturing. I do think Trump is largely willing to back up his demands...but if he gets some leverage back to what the US SHOULD have had in the past, I suspect he will then back off

[Bork_Cruk]

Uh oh! This will be very upsetting for the politician worshippers!!!!

Trump: "They don't send their best."
GOP voters: "We don't want their best !!"
