This is all disinformation to justify Trump’s insanity.Vigilant Fox 🦊 (@VigilantFox)Bill O’Reilly explains what Donald Trump is really after in Greenland after taking down Maduro in Venezuela.
“I know this because I sat in a meeting with President Trump to discuss Greenland.”
According to O’Reilly, “President Trump wants military bases in Greenland. U.S. Air Force and Navy—wants it to blunt the Arctic expeditions of Putin and China, which are actively underway.”“That’s what he wants,” O’Reilly stressed. “His negotiating ploy is to create chaos in Copenhagen, which he is doing, and CNN is helping him do that. We’re not going to take over Greenland…”
“So all of this is what Trump does. He creates chaos, and then he gets his deal. He needs, we need, the United States, military bases in Greenland. I suspect we will get them.”

Facing tough midterm elections in 2026, Trump tells House Republicans he’s struggling to understand voters and leans into culture-war issues rather than cost-of-living concerns. And European leaders rally around Greenland, pushing back on Trump’s renewed claims that the United States needs the territory for national security.
