I also love how it starts with him wishing all a Merry Christmas and ends with him naming certain people he won't wish a Merry Christmas.

I guess I'm out of the loop. Does China occupy/control the Panama Canal?
Also, people want Greenland because after global warming melts the rest of the northern Arctic region, it'll be a big shipping lane and Greenland will be a major landmass/port/base for security. Meaning, everyone knows it's real, and just denies it for political reasons.
No. Panama does. You may be out of the loop, but Trump is loopy.
There are also other reasons that Greenland is valuable. Not just mineral rights on newly-exposed land due to melting glaciers, but those glaciers themselves are going to get more and more valuable in a world rapidly running out of fresh water.
The U.S. is already pumping more groundwater than is getting replenished. It's going to get worse, especially when they keep building more and more water-hungry data centers.
Also look how close Greenland is to Moscow on the globe. Trump wants to be able to extract his buddy Putler when shit hits the fan in Russia.
