This is what real executive leadership looks like. Like Thomas Jefferson, Trump understands that history rewards action, not handwringing. Jefferson faced constitutional critics over the Louisiana Purchase; Trump faces globalists clutching pearls over Greenland. Same playbook, different century. Trump saw the board, recognized European dependence on U.S. power, and exploited it — cleanly and decisively. No war. No apology tour. Just results. The lesson is simple: great nations expand influence when opportunity appears, and great presidents don’t ask permission from people who benefit from American hesitation. This wasn’t bravado. It was strategy — America First, done right.
Since we know the President is at least two steps ahead of handwringers and dem detractors, we wonder what the next three steps are going to be. First, we will move armed forces there and work on obtaining and using mineral rights. Maybe we acquire Greenland after all in another step. The Danes, hostages in paying for socialist programs, are not serious players.
The Jefferson comparison is on point. Like the Louisiana Purchase, the Greenland deal exploits European dependency while avoiding direct confrontation. Jefferson leveraged France's colonial troubles and need for cash, Trump leveraged NATO's reliance on US security. Both faced constitu tional critics but moved forward anyway, betting on pragmatism over procedural purity.

Thank you, Roger, for making this understandable.
Good article.
Thank you for that wisdom. I trust Trump, but this info helps. When finances are better, I hope to upgrade.
Thank you Roger, I love our President.
