President has claimed the US needs to acquire Greenland for national security purposes — a move that European allies see as a threat to the Arctic island’s sovereignty

President Donald Trump has predicted that Greenland will be under U.S. control by the time he leaves office in January 2029.

Trump has fiercely pushed to acquire the semi-autonomous Danish territory in the Arctic since before he returned to the Oval Office. The globally unpopular move has helped strain America’s relationship with its European allies, who see it as a threat to Greenlanders’ sovereignty.

Real America’s Voice host Steve Gruber told Trump during an audio interview Friday, “I made a prediction on this program that before you left office, that Greenland would be under our operational control.”

Like fuck it will

    Real America’s Voice host Steve Gruber told Trump during an audio interview Friday, “I made a prediction on this program that before you left office, that Greenland would be under our operational control.”

    “You’ll be right. They want to do something,” Trump said. “Greenland is important from our standpoint, not from their standpoint…You should make that bet.”

    I honestly try my best not to listen to Trump speak because it seems to hurt my brain and be bad for my soul, so maybe I’m just misinformed here, but I’m surprised that Trump would even acknowledge that he’ll be leaving office.
