I love the idea that eventually he's just going to have to shrivel up into a corncob and reduce the tariffs or make the call himself.
but he'll either invade Greenland or start bombing Iran first to distract from that
If it's Greenland - Trump won't be able to resist bragging about the invasion before it happens.
"Lotsa people say..." Trump uses his doing-an-impression voice "President Trump sir - you can't invade Greenland. You can't." He goes back to his regular voice. "I can invade Greenland. We can just take it. Tomorrow too. Denmark - don't try to stop me. I could drop some big nukes on you and - Skidmark. All of Denmark - skid mark. Bye bye."
Come to think of it - Trump might do something similar the day before bombing Iran.
greenland would be cheap, since they already have a base there, so he can just send 1 more troop transport plane and call it an invasion
I know Greenland's population is predominantly Inuit but isn't it a Danish "protectorate" (read Colony) though?
I'm pretty sure an invasion of Greenland would functionally be treated as an invasion of the EU which would put the two essentially into a nuclear war.
