Danish news outlet DR reports that sources tell them "Trump's people 'bribed' homeless and socially disadvantaged people with hotel dinners to play #Trump supporters" during Don Jr's visit to #Greenland.

To be continued...
Let's be clear about the goals #Trump and his circle-jerk of fascist #billionaires have in mind as they bang their expansionist drums.
โ๏ธ They want to "annex" #Canada and #Greenland so they can ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐ก ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ง ๐ซ๐๐ก๐ช๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ง๐๐ก ๐ง๐๐จ๐ค๐ช๐ง๐๐๐จ.

These goals can theoretically be achieved under the status quo. But they become much easier when the targets are US subjects and US territory.
Via Rupar:
these are almost identical to the talking points Putin used to gobble up parts of #Ukraine in 2014 btw
#Trump: "We are dealing with a lot of people from #Greenland that would like to see something happen with respect to being properly protected and properly taken care of. They're calling us, we're not calling them."
After the US has sent a military plane to Greenland with bullet proof cars for driving around Usha Vance, Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen says:
โThis is an unacceptable level of pressure from the US, and we will push back. [โฆ] The Americans cannot claim, this is a private visit, and no one can read this independently of the statements from them, on their desire to annex another country. [โฆ] The future of Greenland is defined by the people of Greenland and no one else.โ

#Greenland handed a 30-year #mining permit to a Danish-French mining group aiming to extract a moon-like rock that could offer a #climate-friendly alternative in aluminium production.
The #Arctic island rich in #minerals, #oil & #NaturalGas, & long seen as a potential resource frontier, has drawn international attention since #Trump expressed an interest in *purchasing* [conquering] it earlier this year.

#Trumpโs actions & statements suggest he might be envisioning a world in which each of the 3 so-called great powersโthe #UnitedStates, #China & #Russiaโdominates its part of the globe, #ForeignPolicy analysts say.
It would be a throwback to a 19th-century style of #imperial rule.
Trump has said he wants to take #Greenland from Denmark, annex #Canada & re-establish American control of the #PanamaCanal.โฆextend[ing] US dominance in the Western Hemisphereโฆ.
