Oh my goodness… I told you early last year when the topic of Greenland first came up that President Trump was NOT joking around.  He was dead serious. Now a year later, the world is starting to understand and President Trump just told everyone again today point blank that we’re taking Greenland. Remember when you’re parents would tell you: “We can either do this the easy way or the hard way?”  And you quickly learned the easy way was much preferred. Well, that’s the message President Trump just sent to Greenland and Denmark. Watch here: HOLY CRAP. President Trump indicates America WILL take Greenland – it will either be the “easy way” or the “HARD WAY” “We are GOING to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not!” “If we don’t do it the easy way, we’re going to do it the hard way!” “If we… pic.twitter.com/PlUxnMpvJm — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) January 9, 2026 Reports earlier today suggested that the “easy way” might involve direct payments to Greenland citizens of $10,000-100,000 in exchange for the transfer.  That would leave Denmark completely out of the transaction. However, just a few minutes ago, Peter Doocy says he asked President Trump about that and he said he was not considering it — at the moment: NEW: Fox’s Peter Doocy just asked President Trump whether the U.S. is going to pay Greenland residents $100k each to get onboard with a possible takeover: “He says they are not considering that at the moment but in the interests of keeping Russia and China out of this… pic.twitter.com/R87KQHZtdQ — TV News Now (@TVNewsNow) January 10, 2026 That’s the “easy way”. The “hard way” likely involves, well…..see Venezuela. The people of Greenland want this deal: People of Greenland want Donald Trump and the United States to buy the country from Denmark. pic.twitter.com/k4yFlEhJde — The ₿itcoin Therapist (@TheBTCTherapist) January 7, 2026 The NY Post reports that President Trump is rejecting all structures except pure US ownership of Greenland: On Greenland, Trump ruled out compromises such as Copenhagen allowing for an enhanced US military presence or a free-association compact with an independent local government. “When we own it, we defend it. You don’t defend leases the same way. You have to own it,” Trump said. “Countries can’t make nine-year deals, or even 100-year deals. Countries have to have ownership. And you defend ownership, you don’t defend leases, and we’ll have to defend Greenland. If we don’t do it, China or Russia will — not going to happen.” Greenland, home to about 57,000 people, would be the largest US territorial acquisition in history — exceeding the land area of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase from France and the 1867 Alaska Purchase from Russia. Although the billionaire developer-turned-president is said to pine for a record-breaking real estate deal to plant Old Glory in the Land of Ice and Snow, he insisted Friday he’s not currently considering a price. “I’m not talking about money for Greenland yet. I might talk about that, but right now, we are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not, because if we don’t do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we’re not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor,” Trump said. Reuters reported this week that Trump was considering a stipend of up to $100,000 per Greenlander to sway them to voluntarily join the United States — after Secretary of State Marco Rubio told members of Congress Trump is considering buying the territory. Rubio, who was sitting next to Trump at the event, is scheduled to meet next week with outraged Danish leaders. “I would like to make a deal, you know, the easy way. But if we don’t do it the easy way, we’re going to do it the hard way,” Trump said. “And by the way, I’m a fan of Denmark too, I have to tell you. And you know, they’ve been very nice to me. I’m a big fan. But you know, the fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn’t mean that they own the land.” The funniest thing I saw was this creative solution: The simple diplomatic solution is Barron Trump marries Princess Isabella of Denmark and Greenland is given to America as dowry payment pic.twitter.com/fhs3b6IDZG — miss white (@cinecitta2030) January 7, 2026 Hey, who knows! President Trump is a creative dealmaker and this is certainly thinking outside the box!
