President Trump always zigs when everyone else things he’s going to zag. And he just did it again. While NATO is freaking out and European countries are sending troops to “defend Greenland” against a literal invasion, President Trump just proved he never had any intention to take Greenland by force. Why would he?  He doesn’t have to! He has a much better weapon at his disposal: tariffs. And he just unveiled that leverage this morning: pic.twitter.com/zmnMqmqy9V — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) January 17, 2026 Here’s a closer look: And in case that’s hard to read, here’s the FULL TEXT in plain text: We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that! Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake. On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable. Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question. Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charg a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and pay reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland. The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern Day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are currently being spent on Security Programs having to do with “The Dome,” including for the possible protection of Canada, and this very brilliant, but highly complex system can only work at its maximum potential and efficiency, because of angles, metes, and bounds, if this Land is included in it. The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries that have put so much at risk, despite all that we have done for them, including maximum protection, over so many decades. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Folks, they’re going to fold like a cheap suit! And we will do it legally and lawfully — we will buy it! Just like Alaska. Just like the Louisiana Purchase. And now we add Greenland. I’m just wondering if we could maybe donate Minnesota to Canada at the same time to keep us at an even 50 states? Anyway, back to Greenland. Have you ever wondered why President Trump thinks its so important for us to own it? If you look at a standard map, it really doesn’t make a lot of sense, does it? But…if you look at a “Flat Earth” map (sometimes also called a Azimuthal equidistant / Gleason-style projection) it looks very different! On these maps, Greenland DOES look extremely strategic: Another here: And before you say I’m crazy for talking about Flat Earth, please understand the United Nations literally made the “Flat Earth” map their logo. See here: Closer look here: Greenland absolutely looks very strategic on that map!
