So he basically spent weeks threatening our allies with everything up to and including direct warfare because he wanted to become King of Greenland, then after they told him to fuck off he now says there's an idea of concept of a future plan which will give us "everything we wanted" with respect to Greenland, ie. the exact same thing we already had before he threatened our allies and made the entire US look like complete morons on the world stage.

In other words, he cashed in decades of hard-earned respect and prestige, and turned the established world order on its head for, what, a two week distraction from the Epstein files? Oh, and I guess the narcissistic thrill of being the craziest man in the room.

Now that's what I call putting America first!
