Trump is PITCHING the Greenland takeover like the RAPIST THAT HE IS. "ALL WE'RE ASKING FOR IS..."

"ALL WE'RE ASKING FOR"...spoken like a TRUE RAPIST.

“We probably won’t get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force, where we would be, frankly, unstoppable,” Trump said. “But I won’t do that. Okay. Now everyone says, oh, good.”

“That’s probably the biggest statement I made, because people thought I would use force. I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force,” Trump said.

“All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland,” he said.

Later, Trump reiterated he envisions full US ownership of Greenland as opposed to a boosted agreement.

“All we’re asking for is to get Greenland, including right title and ownership, because you need the ownership to defend it,” he said. “You can’t defend it on a lease.”

I hate that man forever. With the raging intensity of a thermonuclear reaction.

In honor of the "Gish Gallop", I propose all statements from him from now on simply get a label as "Trump Trots".

Their biggest threat is Trump and his cronies stealing their resources, but we already have agreements to do exactly that.

Who else wants to invade Greenland?

And BTW, has Trump ever heard of the "Greenland Ice Sheet" Almost the entire island is covered with a mile of ice. There is nobody Jonesing for the opportunity to deal with that.

Paragraph 3, substitute "I" for "United States," and "Katie" for "Greenland."

THAT IS GUILTY TRUMPSTEIN RIGHT THERE.
