Somebody's feeding him grandiose ideas about global warming and northern sea routes.

Damn you web mercator projection! If only Robinson projection was the default on google/apple/whatever trump uses -map.

It has room to move people into as climate change makes living in the equatorial regions difficult.
It has a bunch of minerals the USA could use.
It houses a NATO base that if it were in Russia's hands would make it easier for Russia to eventually project force westward.
There are reasons for America to want Greenland. They all happen to be evil which Im fairly positive is a side benefit for the current administration.

Or, he recognises that arctic and subarctic territories are going to be worth much more in the future because of global warming. Trump is a major scatterbrain but in general it looks like he’s acting impulsively based on pieces of trivia, some of them being correct. Not that I agree with proposed solution to the issue but not everything he does is entirely dumb and very rarely inconsistent with his own interests.

Perfect plan: support fossile fuels, eliminate renuables, buy Greenland, gain the profits from global warming and melting ice.

He is dumb enough for that to be utterly believable.

To be fair, China has been investing in thawing sea routes for a while, though largely to free themselves from having to pass through the US-controlled South China Sea.

He's not acting entirely on his own, he had handlers with a plan.

He’s filthy rich now that he’s running a crypto scam for taking in bribes, so I wouldn’t say those are handlers rather than revenue streams. Other people are not in control of Trump, he’s a human wrecking ball that confuses theatre for politics, similar to general population.

Excuse me? South America Sea*

I don't see how thawing seas help China unless they're planning on retaking Outer Manchuria from Russia?

To be fair even on a globe Greenland is still massive. Just not quite as bad on Mercator.

Can't imagine Trump would be happy keeping the word "South". I think you may need to iterate on that.

It is also mostly ice.
The entirety of the central Greenland is covered by 1.6km to 3.7km thick ice.Settlements are around the coast, as Greenland has about 100km roads in total, no railroads and no inland water.

Wait… South America is already a thing.

Not sure what Manchuria has to do with it ... the Chinese are looking for a sea route to deliver goods to Europe.

Yeah on mercator it looks bigger than Africa. Africa is actually really huge

But not a sea! I'm guessing it works like email addresses... As long as someone else doesn't have it, you can make it your own

Trump loves the south. It's where he gets all his rubes.
