President Donald Trump has said the U.S. will revisit its stance on Greenland in the coming weeks.

Asked if he expected to take action on the territory, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday: “Let’s talk about Venezuela, Russia, Ukraine. We’ll worry about Greenland in about two months. Let’s talk about Greenland in 20 days.”

He added: “We need Greenland from a national security situation. It’s so strategic.”

      Hot take: even if they would get released uncensored and in full, nothing would happen.

      We would just have confirmation on what we aready know.

      At this point talking about the files is a distraction from the atrocities the US government commits and not the other way around.

        Yeah. I’ve been saying it for some time that Trumps base was more worried about him possibly blowing Clinton than him fucking kids. Trump could make a press statement saying he fucked kids and he loves fucking kids and he wants to continue fucking kids and the only thing that would happen (apart from the fake outrage) is conservatives would normalize fucking kids.

        Even hotter take: those thousands of pages may contain evidence of pedophelia, sex trafficking and abuse - but it is most likely a misdirect because the estate either wouldn’t release the blackmail material Epstein had on politicians of the world - large scale political crimes that would have them prosecuted in their own country - or couldn’t, because Epstein kept that under tight wrap.

        And a molten lava take: the CIA was thr ones who offed Epstein so that Trump would never get access to that material, because then he’d have the same leverage Putin has over Russian politicians and elites, meaning he would have had a much higher chance of taking over the entire country - and they did it out of self preservation for themselves and not for liberty of US citizens.

        But also: Venezuela is a distraction from the Epstein files, because most Americans agree that it is disgusting and the perpetrators should face justice. Now Greenland and Colombia is up to bat, because quoteth Trump:

        “You shouldn’t be focusing on the Epstein files, but Venezuela, Russia and Ukraine - we’ll talk about Greenland in a couple of weeks” - which is something he said recently in an interview.

        But, still: I’d like to personally thank the CIA for preventing a Putin 2.0: the Trumpeting, but also: Trump and everyone else in the released files should be tried and face justice.

        Now if you’ll excuse me, this tea is making me feel queezy and I’ve been shedding hair more than usual lately - heck, I even shredded some skin. That’s normal for my age, right?
