Greenland rebuked Trump's latest call to buy Greenland as the demented One continues to try to acquire countries and canals like they are golf courses. Canada and the Panama canal are on his agenda.

Now that he is coming back, the dimwitted old man says he still wants his Greenland. On Sunday Trump sent out a message on social media once again proclaiming the necessity to own Greenland. "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," Trump stated.

Traitor Trump also wants Pete in there because the Fox News host will do everything in his power to protect Donald from being held responsible got any immoral or criminal action he takes. TRUMP: I have appointed Pete Hegsth to be our next Secretary of Defense. He's going to be great.
