Danmark

Nedan följer dagens lägesbild för Grönland. Danmark var redo för militärt försvar av Grönland mot USA och hade en flera sidor lång plan, samt var redo att aktivera tidigare planläggning av försvar mot anfall.

Den danske försvaret var redo för strid och att skarpt försvara Grönland mot USA när förstärkningarna skickades rapporterar danska DR. Man hade med sig skarp ammunition och det fanns en flera sidor lång order för det hela, inklusive hur ytterligare förstärkningar skulle skickas, samt att man var redo att aktivera existerande planer för öns försvar. Det fanns också en tvärpolitisk vilja både från regering och röda samt blå oppositionspartier i danska parlamentet att ta upp väpnat försvar mot USA.

DR skriver:

“Ordern beskriver en flerfasig operation som inkluderar möjligheten att skicka ännu fler soldater och militär kapacitet senare.
[…]
Mer specifikt, enligt ordern, innebär operationen att danska försvarsmakten “stärker närvaron och aktivitetsnivån på Grönland för att visa viljan och förmågan att försvara rikets suveränitet och territoriella integritet”.
Ordern hänvisar också till en underliggande plan för försvaret av Grönland, som kan tas i bruk vid behov.”

Man hade med sig ammunition för kuppberedskap som alltid skulle föras med de enskilda soldaterna och enheterna.

Danska säkerhetstjänsten PET varnar för påverkansoperationer riktade mot Grönland från Ryssland, Kina och USA i syfte att skapa splittring mellan Danmark och Grönland. Oklart var detta uttalande finns, då bloggen inte hittar det på PET:s hemsida, så DN får duga som källa.

Sverige baserar nu en enhet motsvarande en stridsflygsdivision på Keflaviks flygbas på Island som en del av skyddet av Arktis. Detta kommer pågå i februari och mars, men är en rutinmässig åtgärd som incidentberedskap då Natolandet Island saknar eget stridsflyg. Detta har pågått sedan 1960-talet. Likt för Baltikum så roterar detta ansvar mellan Natoländer eller tidigare partnerländer. I min roman Midvintermörker (2011) har Sverige just Gripen stationerade på Island för detta ändamål, vilket visar sig praktiskt.

Kontigentschefen från F 7 Skaraborgs Flygflottilj säger:

“Stridsflygenheten är väl rustad för uppgiften och vi har precis som flygvapnets andra förband en lång erfarenhet av incidentberedskap. Vi har även vana av att verka i vinterklimat och förutsättningar att agera på de olika typer av hot som vi kan ställas inför när vi skyddar Islands territoriella integritet.”

I incidentberedskapen på Island ingår förstås Danmarkssundet mellan Island och Grönland, där Nato också har sensorsystem för att notera om ryska ubåtar lämnar det så kallade Bastionförsvaret i Barents Hav. Det hela kan förstås tolkas som en svensk aktion till stöd för Grönland, men det handlar om en planerad och rutinmässig insats. Anfalls Grönland kan förstås order ändras.

Det blir inget fredagsmys idag. Fem artiklar på bloggen får räcka för fredagen och trafiken saktar oavsett in från lunchtid på fredagar när många slutar tidigt på sina jobb, så sex artiklar ger bara mer arbete och inte mer trafik.

Dags för dagens sammanfattning och lägesbild Grönland. USA-regimen backade när Europa visade sig villiga att försvara Grönland, men det är viktigt att notera att något avtal inte existerar annat än i den amerikanske despotens fantasi.

Det existerar alltså inget nytt avtal mellan USA, Grönland, Nato eller Danmark, utan det den utskällde Natochefen Rutte gjort är att fjäskat effektivt för Trump så denne backat, och sagt något om en handlingsplan och avsiktsförklaring, som inte existerar vare sig på papper eller i handling. Exakt vad återstår att se.

Att få baser på Grönland som man själv styr över är ingen förändring mot nuläget, och t ex ingen skillnad mot det så kallade DCA-avtalet med Sverige, som inte implementerats utan bara finns på papper. Amerikanska militärbaser omfattas normalt av amerikanska militära rättsväsendet, med stenhårda straff vid brott, som t ex militärt straffarbete och långa fängelsedomar i militära fängelser – inget svenskt duttande – och amerikanska militärer behöver t ex enligt dessa avtal inte betala skatt i landet där de jobbar osv. Det är helt normalt, och det samma gäller svensk trupp utomlands där vi brukar upprätta liknande avtal vid stationering i t ex Mali, Afghanistan, Cypern eller nu Lettland.

Egentligen har USA-regimen inte fått ett dugg, och Rutte har snarare utnyttjat den amerikanske despotens inkompetens och narcissism till att inbilla honom att han fått något han inte borde, inklusive genom att förnedra sig och kalla honom “daddy”. Detta kan sedan viftas med som en seger för regimen i Vita Huset.

Över till nyhetsplock.

Danska TV2:s korrenspondent skriver att den amerikanske despoten insett att han inte kommer få Grönland:

“Trump brukar glatt svara på frågor om huruvida han vill köpa Grönland. Nu när han inte svarar på frågan måste det bero på att han har erkänt att han inte kommer att äga Grönland“

Placera skriver:

“En ökad närvaro och ett fördjupat samarbete på Grönland har Danmark aldrig sagt nej till, enligt Kristersson, och flera europeiska länder har visat på samma hållning. Ett enigt och tydligt Europa fick USA att backa och förde USA närmare de diskussioner som måste ske på danskarnas villkor. Kristersson konstaterar att det inte kan ske några diskussioner om Danmark utan Danmark.”

Källor till CNN bekräftar att det inte finns något skrivet om ett framtida avtal eller ens ramverk för Grönland. Man har kommit överens om fortsatta diskussioner om avtalet från 1951:

“President Donald Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte reached a verbal understanding about Greenland during their meeting on Wednesday, but no document has been produced yet memorializing a future deal, people familiar with their discussion told CNN.
Trump and Rutte agreed to further discussions about updating a 1951 agreement between the US, Denmark and Greenland that governs the US military’s presence on the island, the sources said. The deal framework also guarantees that Russia and China will be barred from any investments in Greenland and lays out an enhanced role for NATO in Greenland, they said.”

TV4 skriver att det kan stationeras ut 1 000 man danska soldater på Grönland under 2026 och att det nu ska finnas 300 soldater fördelad mellan Nuuk och den stora flygplatsen vid Kangarlussuaq, där ledningscentralen för Arktisk Kommando ligger och även har sin ordinarie personal.

Överlag kan saker förhoppningsvis lugna ner sig för stunden, men vi får se vad den minst sagt spontana amerikanska regimen hittar på härnäst.

Nedan följer aktuell lägesbild för Grönland. Ssexförbrytaren och upprepade Epsteinöbesökaren som är despot i USA höll idag tal i Davos där han tillbringade större delen att prata om Grönland och hur USA måste få Grönland, inklusive att han bokstavligen skrek ut det samtidigt som han förtydligade hur starkt militärt USA är. “Jag kommer inte använda våld, allt jag ber om [för att inte ta till våld] är en plats kallad Grönland”. Hela transkriberingen av sexförbrytarens tal finns nedan.

Den amerikanska despoten och sexförbrytaren pumpade ut lögn efter lögn i sitt tal och rev inte ner en enda applåd när han ljög om amerikansk ekonomi, sin popularitet eller för den delen Kinas energiproduktion. Det var bara uppvärmningen inför hans fullständiga haveri om Grönland.

Han hotade bland annat rakt av Danmark och Nato med att ta Grönland med våld och jämförde USA med Nazityskland som tog Danmark på en dag:

“We never asked for anything. And we never got anything. We probably won’t get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force. where we would be, frankly, unstoppable. But I won’t do that. Okay? Now everyone’s saying, oh good. That’s probably the biggest statement I made because people thought I would use force. I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland, where we already had it, as a trustee, but respectfully returned it back to Denmark not long ago after we defeated The Germans, the Japanese, the Italians, and others in World War II.”

En mentalt sjuk skolgårdmobbare visar hur stark han är och ställer krav på att få något han inte har rätt till. “Jag kommer inte använda våld, allt jag ber om [för att inte ta till våld] är en plats kallad Grönland”.

Förvirringen slår också till senare i talet när han börjar säga att islänningarna älskar honom och kallar honom “daddy” (förmodligen ett minne av vad han kallades på Epsteins ö) och fortsätter sedan kalla Grönland för Island. Sexförbrytaren klarade inte heller av att gå i en rak linje på flygplatsen och hälsades i Davos av att facklor tänts på berget med meddelandet “No kings”.

Full transkribering av sexförbrytarens och upprepade Epsteinöbesökarens tal nedan. Transkriberat från Youtube med MacWhisper med Parakeet v3-modellen. Fjäskandet innan och efter har inte transkriberats. Fetstil där Grönlandsdelen började. STARK VARNING för texten nedan. Du kan drabbas av mental härdsmälta av att läsa.

Well, thank you very much, Larry. It’s great to be back in beautiful Davos, Switzerland. And to address so many respected business leaders, so many friends, few enemies, and all of the distinguished guests. It’s a who’s who, I will say that. I’ve come to this year’s World Economic Forum with truly phenomenal news from America. Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of my inauguration, and today After 12 months back in the White House, our economy is booming, growth is exploding, productivity is surging, investment is soaring, incomes are rising. Inflation has been defeated. Our previously open and dangerous border is closed and virtually impenetrable. And the United States is in the midst of the fastest and most dramatic economic turnaround in our country’s history. Under the Biden administration, America was plagued by the nightmare of stagflation, meaning low growth and high inflation, a recipe for misery, failure, and decline. But now, after just one year of my policies, we are witnessing the exact opposite, virtually no inflation, and extraordinarily high economic growth, growth like I believe you’ll see very shortly our country has never seen before, perhaps no country has ever seen before. Over the past three months, core inflation has been just 1. 6 percent. Meanwhile, fourth quarter growth is projected to be 5. 4 percent, far greater than anybody other than myself and a few others had predicted. Since the election, the stock market has set 52 all-time high records. So that’s in one year. 52 records, adding $9 trillion in value to retirement accounts, 401ks, and people’s savings. People are doing very well. They’re very happy with me. Since my inauguration, we’ve lifted more than 1. 2 million people off of food stamps, and after four years, in which Biden secured less than $1 trillion of new investment in our country. Think of that, one trillion, substantially less than that. In four years, we’ve secured commitments for a record-breaking $18 trillion, and we think when the final numbers come out, they’ll be closer to $20 trillion of investment. That’s never been done by any country at any time, not even close. Just over one year ago under the radical left Democrats, we were a dead country. Now we are the hottest country anywhere in the world. In fact, the United States economy is on pace to grow at double the rate that was projected by the IMF just last April. And with my growth and tariff policies, it should be much higher. I really believe we can be much higher than that. And this is all great news and it’s great for all nations. The USA is the economic engine on the planet. And when America booms, the entire world booms, it’s been the history. When it goes bad, it goes bad. The whole we all. You all follow us down and you follow us up and we’re at a point that we’ve never, I don’t believe we’ve ever been. I never thought we could do it this quickly. My biggest surprise is I thought it would take More than a year, maybe like a year and one month. But it’s happened very quickly. This afternoon I want to discuss How we have achieved this economic miracle, how we intend to raise living standards for our citizens to levels never seen before, and perhaps how you two and The places where you come from can do much better by following what we’re doing because certain places in Europe are not even recognizable, frankly, anymore. They’re not recognizable. And We can argue about it, but there’s no argument. Friends come back from different places, I don’t want to insult anybody, and say I don’t recognize it. And that’s not in a positive way, that’s in a very negative way. And I love Europe and I want to see Europe go good, but it’s not heading in the right direction. In recent decades it became conventional wisdom in Washington and European capitals that the only way to grow a modern Western economy was through ever increasing government spending, unchecked mass migration, and endless foreign imports. The consensus was that so-called dirty jobs and heavy industry should be sent elsewhere, that affordable energy should be replaced by the Green New Scam. And that countries could be propped up by importing new and entirely different populations from faraway lands. This was the path that sleepy Joe Biden administration and many other Western governments. Very foolishly followed, turning their backs on everything that makes nations rich and powerful and strong And there’s so much potential in so many nations. The result was record budget and trade deficits and a growing sovereign deficit driven by the largest wave of mass migration in human history. We’ve never seen anything like it. Quite frankly, many parts of our world are being destroyed before our very eyes and the leaders don’t even understand what’s happening. And the ones that do understand aren’t doing anything about it. Virtually all of the so-called experts predicted my plans to end this failed model would trigger a global recession and runaway inflation. But we have proven them wrong. It’s actually just the opposite. In one year our agenda has produced a transformation like America’s not seen in over 100 years. Instead of closing down energy plants, we’re opening them up. Instead of building ineffective, money-losing windmills, we’re taking them down and not approving any. Instead of empowering bureaucrats, we’re firing them, and they’re going out and getting jobs in the private sector for two and three times what they were making in government. So they started off hating me when we fired them and now they love me. Instead of raising taxes on domestic producers We’re lowering them and raising tariffs on foreign nations to pay for the damage that they’ve caused. In 12 months, we have removed over 270,000 bureaucrats from the federal payrolls. The largest single-year reduction in government employment since the end of World War II. Nobody thought that was coming, but we had no choice to make a country great. You can’t have all Federal jobs. We’ve cut Federal spending by $100 billion and slashed the Federal budget deficit by 27% in the single year. It’s going to go down quite a bit more from that. driving inflation way down from the record highs of the Biden administration. Every month they went up and up and up. I promised to cut ten old regulations for every single new regulation but instead I’ve cut actually till this point 129 regulations for every one new regulation approved so every time they come in with a new regulation We do at least 10, but so far it’s averaging out to 129, if you can believe it. In July, we passed the largest tax cuts in American history, including no tax on tips. No tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. We also provided 100% expensing. That’s the one they like. And bonus depreciation for all new equipment and capital investments to help companies expand and shift production to America. They are So in love with that. They build a plant, they’re able to deduct it immediately, the whole thing, rather than waiting 38 to 41 years in the old days. This is a Miracle taking place. Nobody thought it would ever be done by any country, but it’s done by us. Was what made my first term the most successful. four-year term that we’ve ever had from a financial standpoint. And now we’ve upped it. This is a 10-year program, not a one-year program. But you’re allowed to deduct everything in one year. It used to be 38 to 41 years. With tariffs, we’ve radically reduced our ballooning trade deficit. Which was the largest in world history. We were losing more than one trillion dollars every single year. And it was just wasted. It was going to waste. But in one year I slashed our monthly trade deficit by a staggering 77%. And all of this with no inflation, something everyone said could not be done. There were a couple of Brilliant people that actually thought I was doing the right thing. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now they all think I’m doing the right thing because they can’t believe the numbers. American exports are now up. By more than $150 billion, domestic steel production is up by 300,000 tons a month, and it’s doubling over the next four months. It’s doubling and tripling and We have steel plants being built all over the country. Nobody thought they’d see that. Factory construction is up by 41%. And that number is really going to skyrocket right now because that’s during a process that they’re putting in to get their approvals that we’ve given very, very quick. fast approvals. In the process, we’ve made historic trade deals with partners covering 40% of all US trade. Some of the greatest companies and countries in the world. We have countries as our partner too. The European nations, Japan, South Korea. They’re our partners. They’ve gone into massive deals with us, especially on oil and gas. And these agreements raise growth and cause stock markets to boom, not only in the U. S. , but virtually every country that came to make a deal because As you’ve learned when the United States goes up, you follow. It’s really become a staple. In America, I’ve stopped the nation-wrecking energy policies that drive up prices while sending jobs and factories. to the world’s worst polluters. They are indeed polluters. Under sleepy Joe Biden, new domestic oil and gas leases fell by 95%. Think of that. Then they wonder why was gasoline going up so fast? The gasoline actually topped $5 a gallon and some places $7 a gallon and more than 100 major power plants were violently shut down by incompetent people that had no idea what the hell they were doing. Under my leadership, U. S. natural gas production is at an all-time high by far. U. S. oil production is up by 730,000 barrels a day, and last week we picked up Fifty million barrels from Venezuela alone. Venezuela has been an amazing place for so many years, but then they went bad with their policies. Twenty years ago it was a great country and now it’s got problems, but we’re helping them and those fifty million barrels. We’re going to be splitting up with them and they’ll be making more money. They’ve made it a long time. Venezuela is going to do fantastically well. We appreciate all of the cooperation. We’ve been giving we’ve been given great cooperation. Once the attack ended, the attack ended and they said, let’s make a deal. More people should do that. But Venezuela is going to make more money in the next six months than they’ve made in the last 20 years. Every major oil company is coming in with us. It’s amazing. It’s a beautiful thing to see. The leadership of the country has been uh very good. They’ve been very, very smart. The price of gasoline is now below two dollars and fifty cents a gallon in many states. $2. 30 a gallon in most states, then we’ll soon be averaging less than $2 a gallon. In many places it’s already down even lower, $1. 95 a gallon. Numerous states are at $1. 99, numbers that nobody has heard for years. Actually, since my last administration, we got it down to around those numbers. I’ve signed an order directing and approval of many new nuclear reactors. We’re going heavy into nuclear. I was not a big fan because I didn’t like the risk, the danger. But they have s the what the progress they’ve made with nuclear is unbelievable and the safety progress they’ve made is incredible. We’re very much into the world of nuclear energy. And we can have it now at good prices and very, very safe. And we’re leading the world in AI by a lot. We’re leading China by a lot. I think President Xi respects what we’ve done in part because I’ve allowed these big companies building these massive buildings. to build their own electric capacity. They’re building their own power plants, which when added up is more than any country anywhere in the world is doing. I read recently an article in the Wall Street Journal that China’s creating so much energy and they are gotta hand it to them, but we’re creating as much or more and we’re letting them do that. I I’m very proud of it. It was My idea. I said you can’t create this much energy. We needed more than double the energy currently in the country just to take care of the AI plants. And I said, we can’t do that. We have an old grid system Then I came up with the idea, you know, you people are brilliant, you have a lot of money. Let’s see what you can do. You can build your own electric generating plants and they looked at me, they didn’t believe me. All of the names that are in the, I think, in the room right now, if you want to know the truth, they didn’t believe it. And I said, no, no, you can’t. They came back two weeks and they didn’t have the plant. They said, we thought you were kidding. I said, no, not only am I not kidding, you’re going to have your approvals within two weeks. I always say nuclear will take three weeks. But most aren’t going that. They’re going oil and gas. They’re even going coal in some cases. Because of my landslide election victory, the United States avoided the catastrophic energy collapse which befell every European nation that pursued the Green News Scam. Perhaps the greatest hoax in history. The Green News scam, windmills all over the place. Destroy your land. Destroy your land. Every time that goes around, you lose $1,000. You’re supposed to make money with energy, not lose money. Here in Europe, we’ve seen the fate that the radical left tried to impose on America. They tried very hard. Germany now generates 22% less electricity than it did in 2017. And it’s not the current Chancellor’s fault. He’s solving the problem. He’s gonna do a great job. But what they did before he got there, I guess that’s why he got there. And electricity prices are 64% higher. The United Kingdom produces just one-third of the total energy from all sources that it did in 1999. Think of that, one-third. And they’re sitting on top of the North Sea, one of the greatest reserves anywhere in the world, but they don’t use it. And that’s one reason why their energy has reached catastrophically low levels with equally high prices. High prices, very low levels. Think of that, one-third. And you’re sitting on top of the North Sea, and they like to say, well, you know, that’s depleted. It’s not depleted. It’s got 500 years. They haven’t even found the oil. The North Sea is Incredible. They don’t let anybody drill. Environmentally, they don’t let them drill. They make it impossible for the oil companies to go. They take 92%. of the revenues. So the oil company said we can’t do it. They came to see me. Is there anything you can do? I want I want Europe to do great. I want UK to do great. sitting on one of the greatest energy sources in the world and they don’t use it. In fact, their electricity prices have soared 139%. There are windmills all over Europe. There are windmills all over the place. And they are losers One thing I’ve noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses, and the worse that country is doing. China makes almost all of the windmills. And yet I haven’t been able to find any wind farms in China. Did you ever think of that? It’s a good way of looking at it. They’re smart. China’s very smart. They make them, they sell them for a fortune. They sell them to the stupid people that buy them, but they don’t use them themselves. They put up a couple of Big wind farms, but they don’t use them. They just put them up to show people what they could look like. They don’t spin, they don’t do anything. They use the thing called coal mostly. But China Goes with the coal, they go with oil and gas. They’re starting to look at nuclear a little bit. And they’re doing just fine. They make a fortune selling the windmills though. I think really that’s one that they wouldn’t be surprised if it stopped. They would they are shocked that it continues to go. They’re more very friendly with me. They’re shocked that people continue to buy those damn things. They killed the birds. They ruined your landscapes. Other than that, I think they’re fabulous, by the way. Stupid people buy them. The consequences of such destructive policies have been stark, including lower economic growth, lower standards of living, lower birth rates, more socially disruptive migration More vulnerability to hostile foreign adversaries and much, much smaller militaries. The United States cares greatly about the people of Europe. We really do. I mean, look, I am derived from Europe, Scotland and Germany. 100% Scotland, my mother, 100% German, my father. And we believe deeply in the bonds we share with Europe. As a civilization, I want to see it do great. That’s why issues like energy trade, immigration, and economic growth must be central concerns to anyone who wants to See a strong and united West because Europe and those countries have to do their thing. They have to get out of the culture that they’ve created over the last ten years, it’s horrible what they’re doing to themselves. They’re destroying themselves. It’s beautiful, beautiful places. We want strong allies, not seriously weakened ones. We want Europe to be strong. Ultimately, these are matters of national security and perhaps no current issue makes the uh situation more clear than what’s currently going on with Greenland. Would you like me to say a few words of Greenland? I was going to leave it out of the speech, but I thought I think I would have been reviewed very negatively. I have tremendous respect for both the people of Greenland and the people of Denmark. Tremendous respect. But every NATO ally has an obligation to be able to defend their own territory. And the fact is no nation or group of nations is in any position to be able to Secure Greenland other than the United States. We’re a great power, much greater than people even understand. I think they found that out two weeks ago in Venezuela. We saw this in World War II, when Denmark fell to Germany after just six hours of fighting. And was totally unable to defend either itself or Greenland. So the United States was then compelled. We did it, we felt an obligation to do it. To send our own forces to hold the Greenland territory. And hold it we did at great cost and expense. They didn’t have a chance of getting on it. And they tried. Denmark knows that. We literally set up bases on Greenland for Denmark. We fought for Denmark. We weren’t fighting for anyone else. We were fighting to save it. For Denmark. Big, beautiful piece of ice. It’s hard to call it land. It’s a big piece of ice. But we save Greenland And successfully prevented our enemies from gaining a foothold in our hemisphere. So we did it for ourselves also. And then after the war, which we won, we won it big. Without us, right now you’d all be speaking German and a little Japanese, perhaps After the war, we gave Greenland back to Denmark. How stupid were we to do that, but we did it. But we gave it back. But how ungrateful are they now? So now our country and the world face much greater risks than it did ever before because of Missiles, because of nuclear, because of weapons of warfare that I can’t even talk about. Two weeks ago they saw weapons that nobody ever heard of. They weren’t able to fire one shot at us. They said, what happened? Everything was discombobulated. They said, we’ve got them in our sights. Press the trigger and nothing happened. No anti-aircraft missiles went up. There was one that went up about 30 feet and crashed down right next to the people that sent it. They said, what the hell is going on? Those those defensive systems were made by Russia and by China. So they’re going to go back to the drawing boards, I guess. Greenland is a vast, almost entirely uninhabited and undeveloped territory sitting undefended. in a key strategic location between the United States, Russia, and China. That’s exactly where it is, right smack in the middle Wasn’t important nearly when we gave it back. You know, when we gave it back, it wasn’t the same as it is now. It’s not important for any other reason, you know, to everyone talks about the minerals. There’s so many pla there’s no rare earth. No such thing as rare earth. There’s rare processing, but there’s so much rare earth. And this to get to this rare earth, you gotta go through uh hundreds of feet of ice. That’s not the reason we need it. We need it for strategic national security and international security. This enormous unsecured island is actually part of North America. On the northern frontier of the Western Hemisphere. That’s our territory. It is therefore a core national security interest of the United States of America. And in fact It’s been our policy for hundreds of years to prevent outside threats from entering our hemisphere, and we’ve done it very successfully. We’ve never been stronger than we are now. That’s why American presidents have sought to purchase Greenland for nearly two centuries. You know, for two centuries they’ve been trying to do it. They should have kept it after World War II, but they had a different president. That’s all right. People think differently. Much more necessary now than it was at that time, however. In 2019, Denmark said that they would spend over $200 million to strengthen Greenland’s defenses. But as you know, they spent less than 1% of that amount. 1%. There’s no sign of Denmark there. And I say that with great respect for Denmark, who whose people I love, whose leaders are very good. It’s the United States alone that can protect this giant mass of land, this giant piece of ice, develop it and improve it and make it so that it’s good for Europe and safe for Europe and good for us. And that’s the reason I’m seeking immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States. just as we have acquired many other territories throughout our history, as many of the European nations have. They’ve acquired, there’s nothing wrong with it Many of them. Some went in reverse, actually, if you look. Some had great vast wealth, great vast lands all over the world. They went in reverse. They’re stuck back where they started. That happens too. But some grow. But this would not be a threat to NATO. This would greatly enhance the security of the entire alliance, the NATO alliance. The United States is treated. Very unfairly by NATO. I want to tell you that. And when you think about it, nobody can dispute it. We give so much and we get so little in return. And I’ve been a critic of NATO for many years. And yet I’ve done more to help NATO than any other president by far, than any other person. You wouldn’t have NATO if I didn’t get involved in my first term. The war with Ukraine is an example. We are thousands of miles away, separated by a giant ocean. It’s a war that should have never started, and it wouldn’t have started if the 2020 U. S. presidential election weren’t rigged. It was a rigged election. Everybody now knows that. They found out. People will soon be prosecuted for what they did. It’s probably breaking news, but it should be. It was a rigged election. You can’t have rigged elections. You need strong borders, strong elections, and ideally a good press. I always say it. Strong borders, strong elections, free, fair elections, and a fair media. The media is terrible. It’s very Crooked, it’s very biased, terrible. But someday it’ll straighten out because it’s losing all credibility. Think of it when I went in a landslide, a giant landslide won all seven swing states. won the popular vote, won everything. And they only get negative press. That means it it has no credibility. And if they’re gonna get credibility, they’re gonna have to be fair. So you need a fair press. But you also need those other elements. And uh I inherited a terrible, terrible situation. If you look, the border was open, the inflation was raging. Everything was bad with the United States when I came into office. But I also inherited a mess with Ukraine and Russia, something that would have never happened. And I know Putin very well. He and I would discuss Ukraine. It was the apple of his eye, but he wasn’t gonna do anything. I said, Vladimir, you’re not doing it. He would never have done it. It was terrible what happened. I could see it happening too. After I left, I could see it happening. Biden had given Ukraine and NATO three hundred and fifty billion dollars, a staggering sum, three hundred and fifty billion dollars. I came in and just like the southern border, just like inflation, just like our economy, I said, wow. This place is in trouble, meaning our country. All of these things were out of control. But the border was out of control. We fixed it with the strongest border anywhere in the world And I’ve now been working on this war for one year, during which time I settled eight other wars. India, Pakistan. I mean I settled other wars that were Vladimir Putin called me, Armenian. ABBR, Baijan. He said, I can’t believe you settled that one. They were going on for 35 years. I settled it in one day. And President Putin called me. He said, you know, I can’t believe I’ve worked on that war for 10 years trying to settle it. I couldn’t do it. I said, do me a favor, focus on settling your war. Don’t worry about that one. What does the United States get out of all of this work, all of this money, other than death, destruction, and massive amounts of cash? Going to people who don’t appreciate what we do. They don’t appreciate what we do. Talking about NATO, I’m talking about Europe. They have to work on Ukraine. We don’t. The United States is very far away. We have a big beautiful ocean separating us. We have nothing to do with it. Until I came along, NATO was only supposed to pay two percent of GDP. But they weren’t paying. Most of the countries weren’t paying anything. The United States was paying for virtually 100% of NATO. And I got that stopped. I said, that’s not fair. But then more importantly, I got NATO to pay five percent, and now they were paying, and now they are paying. So something nobody said was possible. They said we will never go up higher than 2%. But they went to 5%, and now they’re paying the 5. They didn’t pay the 2, and now they’re paying the 5. And they’re stronger for it, and they have an excellent, by the way, Secretary General, who’s possibly in the room. Mark, are you here? Yes, he’s here. Hello, Mark. We never asked for anything. And we never got anything. We probably won’t get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force. where we would be, frankly, unstoppable. But I won’t do that. Okay? Now everyone’s saying, oh good. That’s probably the biggest statement I made because people thought I would use force. I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland, where we already had it, as a trustee, but respectfully returned it back to Denmark not long ago after we defeated The Germans, the Japanese, the Italians, and others in World War II. We gave it back to them. We were a powerful force then, but we are a much more powerful force now. After I rebuilt the military in my first term and continue to do so today, we have a budget of $1. 5 trillion. We’re bringing back battleships. The battleship is 100 times more powerful than the great battleships you saw in World War II, those great big gorgeous ships, the Missouri, the Iowa, the Alabama. Because they thought maybe we could take them out of mothballs. They said, no, sir, these ships are 100, think of that, 100 times more powerful than those big big magnificent pieces of art that you saw so many times ago that you still see on television you say, wow, what a force. One hundred times each ship one hundred times more powerful Than the big battleships of the past. So that was the end of the Morthball story. So what we have gotten out of NATO is nothing except to protect Europe from the Soviet Union and now Russia. I mean we’ve helped them for so many years. We’ve never gotten anything Except we pay for NATO. And we paid for many years until I came along, we paid for, in my opinion, 100 percent of NATO because they weren’t paying their bills. And all we’re asking for is to get Greenland including right title and ownership because you need the ownership to defend it. You can’t defend it on a lease Number one, legally it’s not defensible that way, totally. And number two, psychologically, who the hell wants to defend a license agreement, or at least Which is a large piece of ice in the middle of the ocean where if there is a war, much of the action will take place on that piece of ice. Think of it. Those missiles would be flying right over the center of that piece of ice. All we want from Denmark for national and international security and to keep our very energetic and dangerous potential enemies at bay. Is this land on which we’re going to build the greatest golden dome ever built? We’re building a golden dome that’s going to, just by its very nature, going to be defending Canada. Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way. They should be grateful also, but they’re not. I watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn’t so grateful. But they should be grateful to us. Canada, Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements. What we did for Israel was amazing, but that’s nothing compared to what we have planned for the United States, Canada, and the rest of the world. We are going to build a dome. Like no other. We did it. We did it for Israel. And by the way, I told BB, BB, stop taking credit for the dome. That’s our technology. That’s our stuff. But they had a lot of courage and they were good fighters and they did a good job and we wiped out the Iran nuclear threat like nobody can believe. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it. That Venezuela taking down Salomani, wiping out al-Baghdadi when he tried to reinstitute ISIS. We did a lot I did a lot a lot of big things, all perfectly executed. Everyone was perfectly executed. Somebody told me that a military expert told me, sir, everything you’ve done has been perfectly executed. I said, I know. So other presidents have spent, whether foolishly or not, trillions and trillions of dollars on NATO and gotten absolutely nothing in return. We’ve never asked for anything. It’s always a one-way street. Now they want us to help them with Ukraine. And let me say we’re going to you. I’m really helping, not even them. I want to see last week. If you saw it was 10,000 soldiers, but last month it was 31,000 soldiers died. 31,000. That’s this room times. The number of people in this room times thirty. Think of it. Thirty thousand soldiers Died in one month. The month before it was twenty-seven thousand. The month before that it was twenty-eight thousand. The month before that it was twenty-five thousand It’s a bloodbath over there And that’s what I want to stop. Doesn’t help the United States, but these are souls, these are young Young people look like you, look like some of you right in the front row. They go to war, their parents are so proud, oh there he goes, comes back, two weeks later they get a call, your son’s head’s been blown off. I want to stop it. It’s a horrible war. It’s a worse since World War Two. They keep going, they’ll exceed World War Two. The numbers are staggering, how many people they’ve lost. They don’t want to talk about it. Ukraine and Russia lost just Tremendous amounts. And I’m dealing with President Putin and he wants to make a deal, I believe. I’m dealing with uh President Zelensky, and I think he wants to make a deal. I’m meeting him today. He might be in the audience right now. But uh they got to get that war stopped. Because too many people are dying, needlessly dying. Too many souls are being lost. It’s the only reason I’m interested in doing it. But in doing it, I’m helping Europe, I’m helping NATO, and I and I’ve until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me. They called me daddy, right? Last time Very smart man said, he’s our daddy. He’s running it. I was like running it. I went from running it to being a terrible human being. But now what I’m asking for is a piece of ice, cold and poorly located, that can play a vital role in world peace and world protection. It’s a very small ask compared to what we have given them for many, many decades. But the problem with NATO is that we’ll be there for them 100%. But I’m not sure that they’d be there for us if we gave them the call. Gentlemen, we are being attacked. We’re under attack by such and such a nation. I know them all very well. I’m not sure that they’d be there. I know we’d be there for them. I don’t know that they’d be there for us. With all of the money we expend, with all of the blood, sweat and tears, I don’t know that they’d be there for us. They’re not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. I mean our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland’s already cost us a lot of money But that dip is peanuts compared to what it’s gone up. And we have an unbelievable future in that stock. That stock market is going to be doubled. We’re going to hit 50,000 and that stock market is going to double in a relatively short period of time because of everything that’s happening. But this is a good example. After giving NATO and European nations, trillions and trillions of dollars in defense. They buy our weapons. We make the greatest weapons in the world, but now we’re gonna make them faster. Much faster. You saw that? I put a cap on the salaries. Then I put no buybacks, no stock buybacks, no various other things that they were doing. I mean they were making $50 million, but it would take them three years to give you a Patriot missile. I said, that’s not good. My chauffeur can do a better job than that. And he makes slightly less than 50. They make big salaries. If they’re going to make those big salaries, they’re going to have to produce a lot faster. The good news is we have the greatest equipment in the world. Now we’re going to start making it a lot faster. They’re going to build additional plants. And all of the money that goes into stock buybacks is going to go into building plants. We’re not allowing stock buybacks by defense companies any longer. They’re going to build new plants to make Tomahawks, Patriots. We have the best equipment. F-35s, F-47, the new one just coming out. They say it’s the most devastating plane, fighter jet ever. Who knows? They called it 47, if I don’t like it, I’m gonna take the 47 off. And I wonder why they called it 47, we’ll have to think about that. But if I don’t like it, I’m gonna take that 47 off. But it’s supposed to be the stage six. It’s supposed to be the first stage six plane, undetectable, like our B-2 bombers were undetectable. They flew right over Iran. They were undetectable And they did their job and they got the hell out of there. So we want a piece of ice for world protection and they won’t give it. We’ve never asked for anything else and we could have kept That piece of land and we didn’t so they have a choice. You can say yes and we will be very appreciative, or you can say no and we will remember. A strong and secure America means a strong NATO. And that’s one reason why I’m working every day to ensure our military is very powerful. Our borders are very strong. And above all, our economy is strong because national security requires economic security and economic prosperity. And we have the greatest that we’ve ever had. Biden and his allies destroyed our economy and gave us perhaps the worst inflation in American history. They say 48 years, I say Forever, but I think forty-eight years is the equivalent to forever. Whether it’s 48 years or ever It’s terrible, costing the typical family $33,000. What they did to this country should never ever be forgotten. It’s early. But he has to be rated as the worst president we’ve ever had by far. The autopen did many of the much of the damage. The autopen, he was the autopen president. Because I don’t believe a sane president would have ever signed the kind of things that he signed. But now grocery prices, energy prices, airfares, mortgage rates, rent. And car payments are all coming down and they’re coming down fast. We inherited a mess, but we’ve done a hell of a job in 12 months. Under my most favorite nation policy for drug prices, the cost of prescription drugs is coming down. By up to 90 percent, depending on the way you calculate. You could also say five, six, seven, eight hundred percent. There are two ways of figuring that. But we have a favored nations policy that every president wanted, no president was able to get, I got it, and other nations approved it. And I had to use tariffs in order to get it because they said no way. In other words, a pill that costs 10% in London costs $130. Think it costs $10. in London, cost $130 in New York or in Los Angeles. And I’d say, boy, that’s bad. Friends of mine would say, you know, we go to London, you can buy this stuff for nothing. We go all over the world, we could buy it for nothing. Because basically America was subsidizing every nation in the world. Because presidents allowed them to get away with it, it became very tough. So when I called up Emmanuel Macron, I watched him yesterday with those beautiful sunglasses. What the hell happened? But I watched him sort of Be tough. But he was at ten dollars for a pill. And I said, Emmanuel, and I have the all the big pharmaceutical companies are in total agreement. It wasn’t easy, by the way. They’re tough, smart. They’ve been getting away with the scam for a long time. But they’ve they gave it up. But they said you’ll never get the countries to approve it. I said, why is that? Because they won’t. They always said, we’re not paying any more. get the rest for the United States. So over the years they stayed the same. We just went up, up, up. And I mean we would pay thirteen, fourteen, fifteen times more than some certain countries would. So I said, no, they’ll approve it 100%. So you’ll never get them to approve it. I said, I guarantee you. But I actually sided with Emmanuel, who probably is in the room too. And I like him. I actually like him. Hard to believe, isn’t it? And I said, Emmanuel, you’re going to have to lift the price of that pill to $20, maybe $30. Think of that. That means it’s a doubling a doubling of prescription drugs. Might be a tripling, might be a quadrupling. It’s not easy. No, no, no, Donald, I will not do that. I said, yes you will, 100%. He said, no, no, no. You’re asking me to double. I said, Emmanuel, you’ve been taking advantage of the United States for 30 years with prescription drugs. You really should do it. And you will do it, I have no doubt. In fact, I am 100% sure you’re gonna no no no I will not do it because he has in all fairness to him, he has to double. Or triple, because the world being a bigger place than the United States, it’s not that you meet in the middle. You just have to go up some, and we come down a lot. They go up a little, we come down a lot. So we’re at $130, they’re at $10. So they may have to go to 20 or 30. No more than that. I said, Emmanuel, you’re going to be doubling or tripling. No, no, no. It said, here’s a story manual. The answer is you’re gonna do it, you’re gonna do it fast. Then if you don’t, I’m putting. A 25 percent tariff on everything that you sell into the United States and a 100 percent tariff on your wines and champagnes. And that’s about 10 times more than what I’m requesting. And you’re gonna do it. I don’t want to go public with it, but you may make me do that. No, no, Donald, I will do it. I will do it. It took me on average three minutes, a country, saying the same thing, you will do it. They all said, no, no, no, I will not do it. You’re asking me to double the cost of prescription. I said, that’s right, because you’ve been screwing us for 30 years. And they said we will not do it. I said, that’s all right. On Monday morning, we’re putting a 25, 30, 50. I gave different numbers for different countries. This is also national security we’re talking about. Can’t not fair. We’re not going to subsidize the whole world. And every one of those countries have agreed to do it. So one of the biggest things that I’ve done is the fact that we have now most favored nation. We will pay whatever the lowest price is in the entire world. So our drug prices are going to be coming down by staggering 90%. Again, you could say a thousand percent, two thousand percent. Depends on the way you want to figure it, but we’ll go with the way the fake news likes it better, because it sounds, can you imagine a 90% reduction sounds much worse? But drug prices are going to be coming down tremendously in all the nations, and I appreciate them doing it. But they did it in all fairness. Without tariffs, I wouldn’t have been able to get it done. After declining $3,000 under Biden, real incomes are up in the United States by $2,000, $3,000, and even $5,000 and more. Homeownership has always been a symbol of health and vigor of American society, but that goal fell out of reach for millions and millions of people in the Biden era because interest rates went up so high. Today I’m taking action to bring back this bedrock of the American dream. In recent years, Wall Street Giants and institutional investment firms, many of you are here, many of you are good friends of mine, many of you are supporters. Sorry to do this. I am so sorry. But you’ve driven up housing prices by purchasing hundreds of thousands of single-family homes, and it’s been a great investment for them Often as much as ten percent of houses on the market. You know, the crazy thing is a person can’t get depreciation on a house. But when a corporation buys it, they get depreciation. Okay, that’s something we’re gonna have to think about too. I don’t know if too many people think about that. You buy a corporation, they buy 500 houses, they buy hundreds of thousands, they buy five hundred houses, they can take depreciation. A person sweats and works and buys one house they can’t But homes are built for people, not for corporations, and America will not become a nation of renters. We’re not going to do that. That’s why I have signed an executive order banning large institutional investors from buying single-family homes. It’s just not fair to the public. They’re not they’re not able to buy a house. And I’m calling on Congress to pass that ban into permanent law, and I think they will. One of the biggest barriers to saving for a down payment has been surging credit card debt. The profit margin for credit card companies now exceeds fifty percent, one of the biggest, and they charge Americans interest rates Of twenty-eight percent, thirty percent, thirty-one percent, thirty-two percent, what have happened to usury? So to help our citizens recover from the Biden disaster all caused by this horrible just horrible president. I’m asking Congress to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year And this will help millions of Americans save for a home. They have no idea they’re paying 28%. They go out there a little late in their payment and they end up losing their house. It’s terrible. To unleash innovation and savings and financing, I’m also working to ensure America remains the crypto capital of the world. And to that end, last year I signed the Landmark Genius Act into law. Now Congress is working very hard on crypto market structure legislation. Bitcoin all of them, which I hope to sign very soon unlocking new pathways for Americans to reach financial freedom. And I did it for two reasons. Number one I thought it was politically good and it was I got tremendous political report. support. But more importantly, China wanted that market too. It’s just like they want the AI. And we’ve got that market, I think, pretty well locked up. If I didn’t do it, you know, Biden was totally against it until before the election when they realized that, you know, there were millions of people voting against them over crypto, and all of a sudden they loved it very much, but it was too late. They blew it. But it is politically popular, but it’s it’s much more importantly we have to make it so that China doesn’t get the hold of it and once they have that hold we’re not gonna be able to get it back. So I’m honored to have done it. Finally, I’ve instructed government-backed institutions to purchase up to $200 billion in mortgage bonds to bring down interest rates. And I’ll be announcing a new Fed chairman in the not too distant future. I think he’ll do a very good job. See, I gave away some of it. He I did give that away. So we have something yet. You got something. But somebody that’s very respected. They’re all respected. They’re all great. Everyone that I interviewed is great. Everyone could do, I think, a fantastic job. Problem is they change once they get the job, they do. You know, they’re saying everything I want to hear and then they get the job, they’re locked in for six years, they get the job and All of us said, let’s raise rates a little bit, I call absurd. We’d rather not talk about this. It’s amazing how people change once they have the job, but it’s too bad. Sort of disloyalty, but They got to do what they think is right. We have a terrible chairman right now. Jerome, too late Powell. He’s always too late. And uh he’s very late with interest rates, except before the election, he was just fine for the other side. So we uh we’re gonna have somebody that’s great. And we hope he does the right job. Last week the average 30-year mortgage rate dropped below 6% for the first time in many years. Another major factor in driving up housing costs was the mass invasion. of our borders. And I have to say one thing about housing because nobody ever says this. I am very protective of people that already own a house. of which we have millions and millions and millions. And because we have had a such a good run, the house values have gone up tremendously. And these people have become wealthy. They weren’t wealthy. They become wealthy because of their house. And every time you make it more and more and more affordable for somebody to buy a house cheaply, you’re actually hurting the value of those houses, obviously, because the one thing works in tandem with the other. And I don’t want to do anything that’s going to hurt the value of people that own a house who for the first time in their lives are walking around the streets of whatever city they’re in, very proud that their house is worth $500,000, $600,000, $700,000. Now if I want to really crush the housing market, I could do that so fast a people could buy houses, but you would destroy a lot of people that already have houses. In some cases they’ve mortgaged their house and the mortgage would be very low and all of a sudden the mortgage without any changes becomes very high and they end up losing the house. I’m not gonna hurt and I speak with Scott who’s doing a fantastic job and Howard who’s doing a fantastic job and all of my people. And I always say, look, you know, I can crush the hell out of the market. We can drop interest rates to a level and that’s one thing we do want to do. That’s natural. That’s good for everybody. You know, the dropping of the interest rates, we should be paying a much lower interest rate. than we are. We should we should be paying the lowest interest rate of any country in the world because without the United States you don’t have a country. I mean I had a case with Switzerland. We happen to be in Switzerland. Maybe I’ll give you a quick story. But they were paying nothing. They make beautiful watches, great watches, Rolex, all of them. They were paying nothing to the United States when they sent their product in. And we had a $41 billion deficit. $41 billion with this beautiful place. Flew over it, isn’t it nice? So I said, let’s put a 30% tariff on them so that we get back some of it, not all of it at all. We still have a deficit, big deficit. We had 40, 41 million. That’s a big deficit. And I said, uh, let’s put a tariff on. Different tariffs, different places, you’re old. party to them, in some cases victims to them, but in the end it’s a fair thing. And most of you realize that. But we put a 30 percent Tarif on Switzerland and all hell broklers. They were calling I mean, like you wouldn’t believe. And I know so many people from Switzerland, incredible place, credible, brilliant place. But I didn’t realize that we’re they’re only good because of us. And there’s so many other examples. I mean, us probably other places, but a majority of the money they make is because of us. We never charged them anything. So they come in, they sell their watches, no tariffs, no nothing. They walk away, they make $41 billion on just us. So I said, no, we can’t do that. So I’m going to bring it up. I still would have a deficit pretty substantial, but I brought it up to 30%. And the I guess Prime Minister, I don’t think President, I think Prime Minister called a woman, and she was very repetitive. She said, no, no, no, you cannot do that, 30%. You cannot do that. We are a small, small country. I said, yeah, but you have a big, big deficit. You may be small, but you have a bigger deficit than big countries. He said, no, no, no, please, you cannot do it. Kept saying the same thing over and over. We are a small country. I said, but you’re a big country in terms of And she just rubbed me the wrong way, I’ll be honest with you. And I said, all right, thank you, ma’am. Appreciate it. Do not do this. Thank you very much, ma’am. And I made it 39%. And then all hell really broke out. And I was paid visits by everybody. Rolex came to see me. They all came to see me. But I realized and I reduced it because I don’t want to hurt people. I don’t want to hurt them. And we brought it down to a, you know Lower level doesn’t mean it’s not going up, but we brought it down to a lower level. But they pay now tariff. But but I realized that We have many places like that where they’re making a fortune because of the United States. Without the United States They wouldn’t be making anything. Think of it. Switzerland made $41 billion on us. And as she said, it’s a small place. And I realized with that, I don’t know, it was so because she was so aggressive. And I realized in that conversation that the United States is keeping the whole world afloat. Many places I could give you f six, seven places just in the people in this little area, I know every one of them. They’re sort of They’re looking down, they don’t want to see me, they don’t want to stare me in the eyes. But they’re taking advantage of everybody took advantage of the United States But I’ve been very fair and I I gave them a tariff and it was fine. But I realized that without us It’s not Switzerland anymore. Without us, it’s not any of the countries that are represented here. And we want to work with the countries. We want to work with them. We’re not looking to destroy them. I could have said 39, 40 percent. I could have I could have said I want a 70 percent tariff, then we make money with Switzerland. But Switzerland would have been probably destroyed, financially destroyed. I don’t want to do that But we should be paying the lowest interest rate of everybody. I hope Scott’s listening to this because we should be paying the lowest interest rate of everybody. Without us Without us, most of the countries don’t even work. And then you have the protection factor. Without our military, which is the greatest in the world by far, without our military you have threats that you would never You wouldn’t believe. You wouldn’t believe. You don’t have threats because of us. And that’s because of NATO. One other thing, and I have to say it so importantly In the old days, and I’m I used to say I’m the youngest in the room, now I’m among the older, I hate to say it. I don’t feel old, but I’m among the older. But I remember not long ago, twenty, twenty five years ago, when good news came out about, let’s say, the United States. The United States had a great quarter. The United States had a great month. All the stocks went up. And that’s the way it’s supposed to be. Now when they say the United States had a record quarter, it’s unbelievable how well it’s doing. All the stocks crash because they say, oh no, inflation, inflation, they’re gonna raise interest rates. And they do. These some of these stupid people like Powell, they raise interest rates. And what they do is they stop you from being successful. It used to be when we had a great quarter, a great month, great earnings, great anything, any good news, the stock market went up. That’s the way it’s gonna be. We gotta do that again. Because that’s the way it should be. Now when we have a great month, they want to kill it. Like we did over five percent. We people were surprised. We should do twenty percent. We could do twenty-five percent. Well we announced good numbers and the reason is they’re so petrified of inflation. And growth doesn’t mean inflation. We’ve had tremendous growth with very low inflation. In fact, growth can fight inflation, proper growth. So we want to get back to the days when we announced great numbers because we’re going to be announcing phenomenal. You know, all these factories that are being built at record, thousands of businesses are being built right now. Remember, $18 trillion. is invested. I think the the second number is three. And that was China many years ago. investments in the country from outside. 18 trillion, never nobody’s ever seen. And that’s money coming in and building things, factories. Thousands of businesses are being built. Thousands Hundreds of big factories car plants are moving back to the United States. They’re coming in from Canada. They’re coming in from Mexico, from Japan. Japan’s coming in and building plants here in order to avoid tariffs. They’re coming in from China. They’re coming in from all over the world. We have more plants being built now, car plants, than we’ve ever had built even in the heyday from the 1940s and 50s. And they’re bigger. They don’t use renovations anymore where they take an old plant. They rip it down. They build a brand new plant, supermodern plant But it’s happening at levels that nobody’s ever seen. In 2024, the U. S. built less than two million new homes. But Biden admitted more than eight million new migrants. And those days are over. In 2025, for the first time in 50 years, the United States had Reverse migration. Boy, that was nice. And these were criminals that were being taken out of our country because they allowed People to come into our country from jails, from gangs, drug dealers, murderers. Eleven thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight murderers. We’ve gotten most of them out. And then ICE gets beat up by stupid people from Leadership in Minnesota. We actually are helping Minnesota so much, but they don’t appreciate it. Most places do. You know, Washington, D. C. is the safest place now in the United States. It was a very dangerous place to walk. And now you can walk with your wife, your kids, right through the middle of the city right now. Washington, D. C. is as safe as it gets. It was one of the most unsafe. I had to admit, we sent in the military, the National Guard. Within two months it was great. Within three months, it’s like It’s like a really great place and a safe place and a beautiful place. It’s even been cleaned up. The graffiti’s gone. The fences are gone. We don’t have to worry about fences anymore. All of the places the grasses are cut and replaced with new grass in many cases. It’s all gonna happen in the spring But Washington and DC is beautiful again and it’s safe. New restaurants are opening up. They were all closing. Now you can’t get into a restaurant. Restaurants in Washington, D. C. are all opening. Memphis also, Memphis, Tennessee, New Orleans, Louisiana. We’re there for three weeks. It’s cut we’ve cut the crime down to s by sixty four percent within another month. Well virtually no crime there. We can do that all over. We’re gonna help the people in California. We wanna have no crime. I know Gavin was here. I used to get along so great with Gavin when I was president. Gavin’s a good guy And we’re gonna, if he needed it, I would do it in a heartbeat. I’d love to see. We did help them a lot in Los Angeles, a lot with the early, early in my term when they had some problems. But we would love to do it. I will say this if I were a Democrat governor or whatever, I would call up Trump. I’d say, come on in, make us look good. Because we’re cutting crime down to nothing. And we’re taking people out, career criminals, who are only going to do bad things and we’re bringing them back to their countries. But where we’ve done it, it’s been amazing. And we have a capacity to do it at much greater levels. We’re cutting illegal aliens off welfare and other government benefits and I have directed that starting immediately. There will be no more payments to sanctuary cities because they are really just sanctuaries for criminals. They’re really protecting criminals. And those are the ones we have to get out of the country. Murderers, drug dealers. the mentally insane. They emptied their mental institutions into the United States. And despite that, we have the lowest crime numbers that we’ve ever had in the history of the country. Just came out But equally importantly, we’re cracking down on more than $19 billion in fraud that was stolen by Somalian bandits. Can you believe that Somalia they turned out to be higher IQ than we thought? And we say these are low IQ people. How do they go into Minnesota and steal all that money? And we have, you know, they’re pirates, they’re good pirates, right? But we shoot them out of the water just like we shoot the drug boats out. They’re not pirating too many boats lately, do you notice? When they go out into those boats, they want to take over a billion and a half dollar tanker loaded up with oil. And they say we’re going to blow up your boat. They have powerful weapons. You hit the side of the boat, you blow the whole thing up. The insurance companies are petrified, so they say, just give ’em the boat, we’ll give them money instead. And I don’t do that. We blow them right the hell out of the water. We see them going out, we blow them out of the water. We don’t have any pirates so much anymore. If we do, they won’t be there long. We’ve cut down with the hitting of the boats that are loaded up with drugs, including submarines. Can you believe they actually buy small? They call mini-subs, very fast. They’re meant for drugs We’ve knocked out two of them, the Democrats say they were fishing. You have ruined somebody’s fishing weekend, I would say A submarine is not a fishing boat. You don’t fish. But we’ve uh knocked down drugs by water, the oceans, the sea by 97. 2 percent. Think of that. And I actually say, who the hell are the 3%? Because I would not want to be piloting one of those boats. We knocked them down and now we’re going to start on land. We’re going to knock it all out. The land is the easy part. That what we did on sea is incredible. And that’s our great military. The situation in Minnesota. reminds us that the West cannot mass import foreign cultures which have failed to ever build a successful society of their own. I mean we’re taking people from Somalia And Somalia is a failed, it’s not a nation. Got no government, got no police, got no military, got no nothing. And then we have this fake congressperson who they just reported is worth $30 million. You believe this? Elan Omar. Talking about the Constitution that provides me. She comes from a country that’s not a country. And she’s telling us how to run America. Not going to get away with it much longer, let me tell you. The explosion of prosperity and conclusion and progress that built the West did not come from our tax cuts. It ultimately came from our very special culture. This is the precious inheritance that America and Europe have in common. We share it. We share it. But we have to keep it strong. We have to become stronger, more successful, and more prosperous than ever. We have to defend that culture and rediscover the spirit that lifted the West from the depths of the Dark Ages to the pinnacle of human achievement. We live in a incredible changing period. It’s an unbelievable time, but we have to take advantage of the time that we’re in. In our hands are technologies that our ancestors could scarely have, I mean they couldn’t have even dreamt some of the things that we see today. And so rapidly they’re produced. I mean AI, two years ago nobody ever heard of the term, and now everybody’s talking about it. And it can have some very good purpose. It could also have some dangerous purpose. For that we have to watch out. But some tremendous things are happening because of it. And we’re leading by so much. We’re doing so well. But opportunities that are bigger and grander than ever before and human history are right before us. It is the pioneers in this room, many of you in this room are true pioneers, you two, truly brilliant, brilliant people. Just your ability to get a ticket is brilliant because you have about Fifty people for every seat. I don’t know what that’s Larry. Everything Larry touches turns to gold. He made this very successful. But you’re in this room, and some of you are the greatest leaders anywhere in the world, you’re the greatest brains anywhere in the world. And The future is unlimited and to a large part because of you and we have to protect you and we have to cherish you. I always say we have to cherish our brilliant people because there aren’t many of them. So together with confidence, boldness, and persistence, let us lift up our people, grow our economies, defend our shared destiny, and build a future for our citizens that is more ambitious, more exciting, more inspiring. and greater than the world has ever seen. We’re in a position to do things that nobody else has ever even thought of before. And many of the people in this room are the ones that are doing it. And I want to congratulate you, and I’m with you all the way. You can do things that nobody else can even think about. So I congratulate you on your tremendous success. And uh the United States is back, bigger, stronger, better than ever before And I’ll see you around. Thank you all very much. Thank you very much.

Som uppenbarligen inte vid sina sinnes fulla bruk samt narcissist ska den amerikanske sexförbrtytaren och Epsteinkompisen ignoreras och inte fjäskas för, utan klart och tydligt avvisas.

Olika aktörer försöker nu slå knut på sig med att Trump inte hotar med militärt våld, men så var det inte. Han skryter med hur mycket militär makt USA har, exemplifierar med anfallet mot Venezuela, och ställer sedan krav på något han inte har rätt till för att inte använda våld.

Sist USA köpte något av Danmark var det det som blev US Virgin* Islands, vilket inkluderade Epsteins ö.

*passande namn i sammanhanget med tanke på Epstein, hans gäster på ön och sexövergreppen på hans ö.

Nedan följer dagens lägesbild om Grönland. Ytterligare danska förstärkningar har anlänt till ön och olika utspel sker i Davos.

Vi inleder med en diskussion om den amerikanska Epsteinöbesökaren och despotens frontallobsdemens.

Läkare jag talat med, läkare som bloggläsare talat med och bloggläsare som själva är läkare säger alla att Trump visar upp tydliga tecken på frontallobsdemens. Eventuellt kan denna utlösts av en mindre stroke och förklarar även varför han knaprar blodförtunnande Aspirin med bland annat blå märken på händerna som resultat.

Demens går inte att bota, demens blir bara värre. Man kan fördröja progressionen genom bromsmediciner, men Trumps demens, förvirring, inkonsekvens, svikande minne och aggressivitet kommer bara bli värre. Det går inte att hoppas på att han skärper till sig. Det kommer han inte göra. Tvärt om. Tyvärr kommer europeiska ledare försöka i tron att de har med en rationell person att göra.

Normala människor hade haft närstående, anhöriga, arbetskamrater eller läkare som dragit i handbromsen, men nu pratar vi om en allt mer psykotisk president för världens mäktigaste land och som avsiktligt omger sig med sykofanter, som alla bara spelar med på spiralen nedåt.

Så det kommer bli värre. Fundera på vad Epsteinöbesökaren kan hitta på det närmaste halvåret och hoppas att din fantasi överträffar verkligheten. Det kommer inte gå att prata sunt förnuft med eller övertala despoten. Vad som kan fungera är att svara hårt mot hårt, så man åtminstone inte ger med sig och hoppas att någon sätter stopp för Trump i USA och fråntar honom makten på ett eller annat vis.

En läsare väckte en fundering kring om den amerikanska regimens utspel är ett förspel för att dra sig ur Nato. Är man med i Nato behöver man inte Grönland och har dessutom Island att basera på. Om man drar sig ur NAto blir dock Grönland i amerikansk ägo viktigare.

Detta faller dock på att det finns någon plan och detta inte handlar om en dement Trump, utan att personer som Miller och Thiel ligger bakom det hela och planterat hela idén i en allt mer lättmanipulerad person med vanföreställnignar.

Nu följer ett axplock av nyheter.

Ytterligare dansk trupp har landat. Film på några av dem nedan.

Demente despoten har publicerat AI-bilder på sitt officiella konto om hur Grönland är amerikanskt, och även Kanada på den andra bilden.

Epsteinöbesökaren skriver också sådant här rent trams vilket visar hur han är på väg ner i en egen fantasivärld:

“No single person, or President, has done more for NATO than President Donald J. Trump. If I didn’t come along, there would be no NATO right now!!! It would have been in the ash heap of History. Sad, but TRUE!!! President DJT”

Kaliforniens demokratiske guvernör Gavin Newsom som utmålas som en möjlig framida demokratisk presidentkandidat, skällde under World Economic Forum i Davos ut de europeiska ledarnas hantering av Grönlandsfrågan:

“Skärp er och visa lite ryggrad. Det är dags att ha principer och att stå enade
[…]
Jag borde ha tagit med mig knäskydd till alla världsledare här, hoppas de förstår hur patetiska de ser ut inför resten av världen.”

Det nordamerikanska militärkommandot NORAD meddelar att man skickar flygplan till den amerikanska rymdbasen Pituffik i nordvästra Grönland. Utplaceringen sägs ha samordnats med Danmark och genomförts med nödvändiga diplomatiska tillstånd. Antal flygplan och typ framgår inte, men syftet är att stödja “långvariga och spridda operationer för försvaret av Nordamerika”.

Kanada har börjat modellera scenarion för hur man ska möta en amerikansk invasion. Man kommer bara kunna försvara sig upp till en vecka, och planerar för gerillakrigföring.

EU-kommissionens ordförande Ursula von der Leyen presenterade ett omfattande paket för att stärka europeisk närvaro i Arktis, inklusive europeiska isbrytare och militär utrustning. Planen är ett direktsvar på Trumps tullhot och syftar till att visa europisk styrka i regionen.
