    We’ve been “defending” a large part of the world for 70 years without owning Greenland.

    Yes, but I think Trump doesn’t understand the very concept of voluntary agreement. He only feels right when he has power over a thing and they don’t have a choice about it.

    He’ll occasionally accept something given to him without strings, but only by casting that person as a “sucker” (his voters for example). Everything is adversarial and zero-sum to him.
