President mass is up to it again ! Over the preceding week , intelligence acquire out that the White House has been search some kind ofarrangement to buythe independent Danish soil of Greenland — which in addition to giving the U.S. more military access to a strategic distributor point of the globe , would enable American exploitation ofits Brobdingnagian mineral wealth , fresh water reserves , and … sand .

Anyhow , while one could be excused for inquire whether this was a serious policy opening move or theravings of a mindin the advanced stages of some kind of decline and indulged only reluctantly by a cabal of yes - men , the dispute is pedantic now .

In a followup tweet apparently calculated to make it seem as though he was the victor here , Trump write , “ The Prime Minister was able to save a great deal of expense and effort for both the United States and Denmark by being so direct . I thank her for that and look forward to reschedule sometime in the futurity ! ”

The U.S. ambassador to Denmark , Carla Sands , was also apparently under the effect the visit was still occurring as of 5:22 p.m. ET on Tuesday , when she tweetedthat “ Denmark is ready”for the President of the United States ’s visit .
