President Donald Trump mocked the Kingdom of Denmark for allegedly increasing security around Greenland, telling reporters on Sunday that the country merely “added one more dog sled.”

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, the president answered questions about the implications of his military action that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife on Friday. Though the president reiterated his claims that America “needs” Greenland in the aftermath of Maduro’s arrest, he reacted with surprise when pushed on the topic by a reporter on Sunday.

“How did we come up to Greenland?” said Trump, when asked about possible U.S. action. “Well, I don’t want to talk about Greenland. Let’s talk about Venezuela, Russia, Ukraine. We’ll worry about Greenland in about two months. Let’s talk about Greenland in 20 days.”

Rather than move on from the topic, however, the president continued on the subject, telling reporters once again about America’s strategic need for Greenland. “By the way, I will say this about Greenland. We need Greenland from a national security situation. It’s so strategic. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place,” he said. “We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security, and Denmark is not going to be able to do it, I can tell you that.”

1. ...

[riversedge]

22. Trump is nothing but a school-yard bully.

[Cha]

48. Oh he's a PEDO Rapist Neo Nazi Deranged Bully.

[B.See]

2. Like I said yesterday to

those saying Denmark doesn't have a boogeynan like Maduro - DOESN'T MATTER. Trump has already created the PRETEXT for invading Greenland.

[PatSeg]

3. Could he possibly be a bigger dick???

[johnnyfins]

7. I was saying that yesterday.

I dont care about his health or narcissism or sociopathic behavior. He is just a DICK. I dont care about the reasons why. Wanna be treated like you think you should be treated? Stop being a DICK. Too many white guys in this country that are absolute DICKS.

[PatSeg]

16. I agree

With all his issues, physical and psychological, the bottom line is he is a truly horrible human being and always has been. He was a nasty person when he was young and now he is a nasty old guy. The only difference is he has less self-control and often says the quiet parts out loud.

[people]

19. No.

[PatSeg]

24. Oh, I don't know

I think he sees it as a challenge.

"I know that was pretty bad, but shit, I clearly can do even worse."

[Ocelot II]

26. The guy with the tiniest dick *is* the biggest dick.

[PatSeg]

28. Now THAT is very true as a rule

[VMA131Marine]

4. Trump is functionally illiterate so he never read about the Nuremberg Trials

One of the worst crimes many of the Nazis were convicted of was “waging aggressive war.” If Trump leaves office before he dies he should face a war crimes tribunal.

Key Aspects of Aggressive War at Nuremberg
Crimes Against Peace: The International Military Tribunal (IMT) prosecuted "Crimes Against Peace," which specifically covered aggressive war.
Definition: This included planning, preparing, initiating, or waging a war of aggression, or participating in a common plan to do so.
Significance: Nuremberg established that individuals, not just states, could be held accountable for starting wars, rejecting the "act of state doctrine" that previously shielded leaders.
Examples: Charges included planning aggression against numerous countries like Poland, France, the Soviet Union, and the U.S., leading to convictions for senior Nazis like Göring and Ribbentrop.
Legacy and Evolution
Nuremberg Principles: The trials' findings led to principles recognizing aggressive war as a crime, later adopted by the UN.
Modern Law: While the International Criminal Court (ICC) focuses on genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, the concept of aggression remains a core principle, with efforts continuing to strengthen its prosecution.

6. He doesn't care about that since the U.S. is not a party to the Rome Statute nor the ICC

and are even sanctioning members of that court.

22 U.S. Code § 7423 - Prohibition on cooperation with the International Criminal Court

The States Parties to the Rome Statute

[Buddyzbuddy]

11. Just because the U.S. doesn't cooperate doesn't mean a warrant for arrest can't or won't be issued.

The I.C.C. is independent of the U.S.. What you stated is true but doesn't mean it can't change. If we've learned anything over the past year, anything is possible. Sure, it would be smarter to take action after he's no longer in power. Dutuerte is currently in custody awaiting his trial by the I.C.C.. He was captured while in a cooperating Country. Warrants have been issued for Netanyahu and Putin.
America is currently an enemy to the world because of the Felon, this Administration and Republicans backed by Billionaires, all of whom are vulnerable in ways unimagined.

The U.S., previous to this Presidency, has historically looked favorably upon the I.C.C. with few Republican exceptions and our Military leadership but how do you account for Jack Smith working at the Hague?
The U.S. hasn't signed because they don't want to give up it's autonomy and has chosen to deal with our own issues at home. But, checks and balances has failed and the result is, we need an outside International body to hold America accountable. This is not solely a domestic issue. We are a threat with a madman in charge of an arsenal that can destroy the world many times over.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. Oh I know

but I was responding to the person who posted that reply further up with the title - Trump is functionally illiterate so he never read about the Nuremberg Trials

I.e., noting that he doesn't care (and the sycophants in his administration who whisper in his ear and feed him misinformation, will point out why he shouldn't, despite their abysmal legal track record that bites them in the ass every time).

[Buddyzbuddy]

31. Ah, I understand.

I'm hearing a lot of pushback on the idea of the I.C.C. as a possibility especially from people whose voices I respect and it surprises me. But, now I understand you were just providing the facts as they are, not necessarily advocating against.
Even the thought of the possibilty might give some in this Administration pause if they think about it. Not the Felon of course but maybe those that have the ability to think.

[BumRushDaShow]

32. If any of them watched the film "Judgement at Nurenberg"

then they would get a sense of that whole process. I know I finally got chance to watch that almost 10 years go (if anything, to see a "young" William Shatner...lol) and it was an interesting and complex film.

[Buddyzbuddy]

36. I've yet to see it. It's in my queue.

[BumRushDaShow]

41. One of those "all-star cast" films

[Buddyzbuddy]

44. Thank you.

[CTyankee]

45. A deeply moving (and disturbing) film. I urge you to see it if you haven't already. Clift was magnificent in it.

[PatSeg]

17. Maybe if it was in a comic book format?

Though even then, he'd probably side with the Nazis.

[QueerDuck]

5. He's an adolescent.

Yet Sarandon thought he would be preferable to Hillary. And Turner thought he would be preferable to Biden. And other well-known politicians encouraged voters to disengage from the process by asking them to "leave it blank" or be "uncommitted" (and thus fulfill their obligation and never bother to show up for the general election.)

[Orrex]

8. Why doesn't he just fucking die already?

[yardwork]

9. It's easy to start wars.

[PatSeg]

18. Yeah, just ask GW Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld

Well, two of them are dead already, but they left us with problems that lasted a generation.

[yardwork]

25. Exactly.

[PatSeg]

27. I remember those fools saying

it would only last a very short period of time (weeks, maybe months) and they vastly underestimated the ultimate cost, though I think many of them knew better.

[mwmisses4289]

10. Wonder if Europe, Canada and Mexico will form an alliance and preemptively invade the us

to keep t from invading them?

[Vinca]

15. Can I put in a request that the UK take me prisoner?

[LuvLoogie]

13. The MSM is a trumplicking whore employed by the rich

[Paladin]

14. Wonder who wrote that "dog sled" taunt for trump?

It's a weak-ass insult, but you damn-well know that trump's not smart enough to have come up with it, himself...

[BumRushDaShow]

20. Might have been Miller

since he seems to vomit all over U.S. foreign policy (and his wife was the one with the Xitter post showing Greenland draped in an American flag).

[thought crime]

38. I wonder if they sleep in coffins

[groundloop]

21. I'm so fucking ashamed to be an American right now

I'm traveling and cringe every time someone asks where I'm from.

[2na fisherman]

23. Foolius Seizer

Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), Ranking Member of the Armed Services Committee stated in an interview on MSNOW that Trump wants to be the "emperor of the western hemisphere." After his invasion of Venezuela, Trump has just repeated threats against five more countries: Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Cuba, and Greenland. Trump has a definite Napoleonic Complex or a need to conquer and to appear elevated above all others. Even the trappings of his White House ballroom remodeling is a gilded display of this pathology. His need to conquer is also revealed by his sexual abuse of women. There are very good reasons why he was sent away to military school when he was a boy. Some deals were made to cover up his bad behavior long ago. I hope one day we may hear the truth about his psychotic past from those who were bribed and/or threatened never to tell it. History is owed a full accounting of this very dark side to his biography.

[raccoon]

29. I hope Commander is pulling the new dogsled and will bite Trump or one of his minions.

[orangecrush]

30. The longer we put up with him

The worse it's going to get.

[Luciferous]

33. What an asshole

They should kick the American military out.

[pansypoo53219]

34. unfortunately he will croak before he pays for his perfidity.

suck on that magats.

[dalton99a]

35. Kick

(He openly mocks Denmark and comes up with one lie after another.. Fuck him and fuck the USA..)

[Scalded Nun]

37. OK, US Armed Forces Leadership. Time to show the country and the world just what your oath of office means.

Assuming this is truly serious and not some bullshit bluster, it cannot be done without our military, and the military cannot carry out this illegal action due to their oath of office. So...are you truly effective and constitutionally correct leaders, or are you like our elected GOP, kissing the bosses ass and tossing our constitution into the trash bin?

True colors time.

[thought crime]

39. The dogsled comment is a cultural insult to Greenlanders as well

I think Greenlanders understand the contempt Trump & Co. hold for them, and will not accept any cash offer coming their way. It would be selling their souls and I think they do understand that fully well.

[Tanuki]

42. And he's still big mad that Greenlanders rebuffed the planned Usha Vance "charm offensive,"

which originally would have included showing up at a dogsled race with one of her kids.

[jfz9580m]

40. Go ahead jackass

This is how dictators overreach . Trump is a moron..It is not guns and muscles dimwit..the fear switch is inside the head and these histrionics terrify exactly no one.

Yeah sure he could break everyone blah blah blah..

[Botany]

43. He is insane. "Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place,"

Say what? Talk about being covered with Chinese ships ever look @ the West Coast of America and
all those container ships that are either Chinese or are carrying Chinese products for the American
market. Greenland is part of a free nation and other countries’ ships can dock there even though I
doubt that a lot of Chinese and or Russian ships are docking in Greenland. Maybe Chinese to get fish.

Btw exactly how do you get ships onto Greenland to “cover it?”

The man needs to be in a “memory care” unit in a nursing home, be given a rubber spork to eat with,
and have 24/7 supervision. Or in prison.

46. MaddowBlog-Team Trump confirms: The administration wants to buy Greenland

Where exactly does the president intend to get the money to buy a massive arctic island that isn’t for sale?

Mike Johnson: Rubio was kidding about Trump wanting to buy Greenland.

Rubio: No, I wasn’t. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

— Steve Benen (@stevebenen.com) 2026-01-07T19:59:04.538Z

https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/team-trump-confirms-the-administration-wants-to-buy-greenland

The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times reported, and MS NOW confirmed, that Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers in a classified briefing this week that the White House is less interested in military action and more interested in trying to buy Greenland — which, by all accounts, is not currently for sale.

On Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson brushed off the idea, telling reporters that Rubio might’ve made the comment “in jest.” The Louisiana Republican repeated the line Wednesday morning, explaining at a Capitol Hill press conference that he thinks he remembers hearing the secretary of state talk about a possible Greenland purchase, but the GOP leader said he “took it as a joke.”

Readers, it was not a joke.

Q: Does the US intend to buy Greenland?

MARCO RUBIO: That's always been the president's intent

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-07T16:31:55.422Z

Asked to clarify comments he made to lawmakers behind closed doors on Monday, Rubio told reporters late Wednesday morning that it’s “always” been Trump’s “intent” to try to buy Greenland.

Less than an hour later, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said largely the same thing, explaining during a briefing that the president is “actively” discussing the purchase of Greenland.

Leavitt says Trump is "actively" discussing buying Greenland

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-07T17:10:56.139Z

As policy priorities go, all of this seems plainly ridiculous. And yet it also raises a host of new and related questions: Where exactly does Trump intend to get the money to buy a massive arctic island that isn’t for sale? Is he going to ask Congress to appropriate the funds? Would GOP lawmakers be willing to write an enormous check?

And how embarrassed is the House speaker right now after his “took it as a joke” line has been publicly discredited by his ostensible allies?

I was also wondering how trump will get Congress to give him the funds to buy Greenland.
