The news about  Trump's 'deal' with Greenland is concerning.

Prima facie, it appears to imply that when a bully threatens you, even though most of the world supports you, it's better to give the bully what he wants.

BUT

It's very odd that no details have been coming. Absolutely nothing except some meaningless waffle from the mouth of a known liar, and convicted felon.

Could it be that they have agreed to give Trump exactly what he already had, but worded using multi-sylable words that are too complex for Trump to understand?

yeah, that was all a bit low-key and weird, so it's a very plausible explanation !

Interesting analysis here.
