Two dogsleds? Greenland is protected by NATO. If Trump wants to leave NATO, he should be honest and announce it BEFORE the midterms so that the American people can make an informed decision as to Congress!

Obviously Denmark is part of a broader military coalition pledged to defend them in case of attack. I would have thought a guy who sold his house to go live on a military base because he was scared of his neighbors would get this.

Denmark (and Greenland) belong to a nuclear armed mutual defense alliance—which this guy is actively undermining.
