The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

Trump's Greenland fantasy crumbles against reality: 85% of Greenlanders reject U.S annexation, Europe stands united in opposition, Congress refuses military action, and even Republican leaders dismiss the scheme. The 1951 pact already grants the U.S. everything it needs strategically. This delusion offers nothing but NATO's destruction and the U.S.'s transformation into the rogue it claims to oppose.

Pro-Trump narrative

Greenland is the Arctic’s keystone: whoever controls it commands shipping lanes, missile warning systems, and the balance of power between America and hostile rivals. As China and Russia press forward, only decisive U.S. ownership can secure this ground. Empowering Trump to annex Greenland is not about ambition, it is a strategic necessity motivated by national defense.
