Trump’s obsession with Greenland has been a source of global mockery. It didn’t help the force-obsessed president that the Greenland’s small population has constantly humiliated the president and his vice president through demonstrations of protest and rejection of Trump’s plan to take back their home.
Katie Miller, Stephen Miller’s wife, posted this image on X:
Given this administration’s failure at everything it has attempted, Miller’s post could be seen as an example of the current administration’s collective delusions.

The people of Greenland took the Trump administration’s threat seriously, because after invading Venezuela, Trump showed that he had no respect for other people’s sovereignty and right to self-determination.
The Trump administration wants control of Greenland’s rare earths, which is the real reason Trump wants to take control of them. The excuses regarding national defense are a stupid excuse. The United States has the largest army in the world. He doesn’t need Greenland to be safe.
Trump wants to control Venezuela for oil, even if it is poor quality, and it will take decades to build the infrastructure needed to make Venezuelan oil profitable.
The administration wants Greenland for its rare earth minerals. Trump is leading a campaign of colonization and exploitation, and the people of Greenland are not interested.
In a statement, Greenland Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen responded to Miller:
Let me say this up front with calm and clarity: there is no reason to panic or worry.
The image shared by Katie Miller, depicting Greenland wrapped in an American flag, changes nothing.
Our country is not for sale and our future is not decided by social media posts. That said, the image is disrespectful.
