re: The Greenland deal is the most amazing DEAL Trump ever pulled off

We're about to be making a lot of Greenland, America. New parts. Wherever we want them.
We already have the right to have new bases there and control over them. We had 17 there at one time under the 1951 Treaty that is still in effect today.

It might...what does that mean though? Ownership?

Bro. Go read his book. He started at OWNERSHIP for a reason.
I'm familiar with the concept. This wasn't that.
There is no deal that gives us anything we don't already have.
ETA: Sorry to come in so hot. Maybe things will work out. I just can't get over the fact that Trump claimed to have made a deal with Rutte.

Greenland Deal
Hostage release deal
Abraham Accords.
Border closed.
One of these is not like the others. Hint: it's as done a deal as the ending of the Ukraine War.

Who did he make this deal with?
The Indians who sold Manhattan to the Dutch for $24.
They have just as much authority to negotiate on behalf of Denmark and Greenland as the person with whom Trump claims to have negotiated.

Can we wait until we get some official details?
Still waiting on the details of the Venezuela extortion...errrr....deal. So far, all we have is "Venezuela will give us 30 - 50 million barrels of oil or we will attack you again."

He won everything we already had from the 1951 Treaty...yay!
The best is he won the deal through negotiating with someone who has no authority over Greenland or Denmark and didn't even know they were negotiating.
NY Post: Greenland Premier, No Deal
"The day after President Trump announced a “framework” to acquire Greenland, the leader of that island said he’s not sure what the president meant. "I don’t know what’s in the deal,” Jens-Frederik Nielsen, the premier of Greenland, told reporters in Nuuk on Thursday.
Trump, who has repeatedly made clear he wants ownership of the island, left a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Davos on Wednesday and announced “the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland” was in place.
Meanwhile, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told reporters that Rutte doesn’t speak for her country.
“NATO does not have a mandate to negotiate on behalf of Denmark and Greenland."

I think this is the one were DOJ claimed it was some widespread conspiracy...and that the nationwide money for hits on ICE was $10,000.

You have no idea who Trump talked to about Greenland.
Trump was explicit. The deal or framework came from him meeting solely with NATO's Mark Rutte. How can adults be fooled by the bullshite that "NATO" could give the US "everything we wanted" regarding Greenland and Denmark's land?

I was really hoping for perjury charges against Fanone and Harry Dunn, the Capitol Police Officer who lied to help convict the Oath Keepers.

Denmark can lose bigly here. They gave away a lot after WW11, mainly security for Greenland. Greenland can demand autonomy at anytime which Denmark rights are done. We can absorb with some help to the islanders
Could be. Greenlanders seem pretty happy about free health care and maintaining their culture, though.

NATO pres said there was one?
He said they only discussed about how to "collectively protect the Arctic region." How can you interpret that as "America got everything it wanted?"

have seen you, just today, go from one end of the spectrum to the other regarding this. Do you ever think for yourself?
I always think for myself. I have no idea how you are defining "this." I have been supportive of our trying to acquire Greenland through peaceful means. I am aware that Trump negotiates with inferiors by making threats he doesn't intend to carry out.
I was just curious what others thought about Trump's particular statement about a deal or framework being in place. My thought was "surely no one believes this, even Mark Rutte said Trump and he didn't discuss anything beyond security matters...how could Trump have agreed to a framework of a deal that 'gives us everything we wanted' without even talking to Greenland or Denmark about the idea hatched in his meeting with Rutte?"
Apparently, some people believed President Trump about that. My curiosity is satisfied...if that's OK with you.

If this is all you people have, Trump must be doing a great job.
So, you agree it's "Trumpspeak"...something he just made up for purposes of negotiating? That's all I was asking.
I hope it works, but once people accept that he lies as a part of negotiating, they adjust their strategies.

IOt sounds like he got NATO to put their tiny wieners back in their pants and to stop pissing on something that is not their business. Now, he will set it up to let the people of Greenland decide.
But even according to Trump the only "deal" or "framework" of a deal is with the NATO Secretary General.

Seems like a lot of Trump’s plans play out decently so I won’t bet against.
I agree. I'm rooting for him. He had me convinced that we actually needed to own Greenland.
I'm not betting against him, I just think he's laying on the bullshite too thick this time. No one outside of the MAGA bubble thinks there is an actual deal or even framework of a deal.
I don't know why the President changed course, but inventing this "deal" or "framework" was just a to save face. One thing is for sure, we will never see any details about how the alleged "deal/framework" was worked out in Davos.
