Well, once we have Greenland, we'll need Quebec and Newfoundland/Labrador so we can build a tunnel to it. For national security. "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

They could run over my daughter’s stereo and not hear it… “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...mpaign=new&utm_term= Trump Directs Purchase of $200 Billion in Mortgage Bonds Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte said on X that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will execute the purchase. President Donald Trump on Thursday said the United States will purchase $200 billion in mortgage bonds, with the goal of bringing down housing costs. “Because I chose not to sell Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in my First Term ... it is now worth many times that amount — AN ABSOLUTE FORTUNE — and has $200 BILLION DOLLARS IN CASH,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “I am instructing my Representatives to BUY $200 BILLION DOLLARS IN MORTGAGE BONDS. This will drive Mortgage Rates DOWN, monthly payments DOWN, and make the cost of owning a home more affordable,” Trump wrote. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte said on X that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will execute the purchase. The announcement comes after Trump on Jan. 7 said he plans on banning large institutional investors from purchasing more single-family homes in an effort to lower housing costs. “For a very long time, buying and owning a home was considered the pinnacle of the American Dream. It was the reward for working hard, and doing the right thing. But now ... that American Dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans,” Trump stated in that earlier post. “People live in homes, not corporations.” He added, “I have no higher priority than making America affordable again.” Over the past decade, private equity firms and investment companies have accrued large portfolios of single-family homes, contributing to high rent costs and increased home prices, according to Department of Housing and Urban Development analysts. Furthermore, data from the Private Equity Stakeholder Project as of April 2025 shows Blackstone owning more than 230,000 apartment units, with Greystar holding 138,000. The ban on large investors is expected to face legal challenges from affected firms, though Trump has called on Congress to create a law banning the practice. “I will discuss this topic, including further Housing and Affordability proposals, and more, at my speech in Davos in two weeks,” Trump said, referring to the World Economic Forum’s summit in Davos, Switzerland, between Jan. 19 and Jan. 23. In December 2025, Trump pledged to unveil “some of the most aggressive housing reform plans in American history.” The Trump administration has outlined multiple strategies to make housing more affordable, including the introduction of 50-year mortgages to lower monthly payments for buyers. Other proposals include opening federal lands for new construction and considering “portable mortgages,” which would allow homeowners to transfer loan terms when moving. The administration is also considering eliminating capital gains taxes on home sales and a potential national housing emergency declaration to expedite development. U.S. house prices rose 2.3 percent from August 2024 to August 2025, according to federal housing finance reports. Existing home sales rose 3.3 percent in November 2025 as mortgage rates fell to 6.3 percent. Affordability, however, remains elusive, with households requiring nearly $108,000 annually to buy a median-priced home. Underwater mortgages hit a three-year high, affecting 1.6 percent of holders amid cooling prices. Luxury housing shows mixed trends, with prices falling in eight of the top 10 most expensive markets, including a 21 percent drop in Kahului-Wailuku, Hawaii. Refinancing activity has skyrocketed, with adjustable-rate mortgages comprising 11 percent of the market as a result of the lower rates. | |||

Trump is playing his “hardball game” by announcing his intentions as the Danes and Greenlanders are coming next week to talk. It’s his “Art of the Deal” at work again. He wouldn't need an “Operation Overlord” type action; just a bunch of newly-graduated Space Command Cadets. --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!! “Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur.” "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it." — Mark Twain “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” — H.

What do the folks living in Greenland (Greenlanders?) have to say? My understanding is they have full Danish/EU citizenship unlike the citizenship w/limitations like we give Puerto Rico. If we were to somehow acquire the island, what status would we give them? What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand??? | |||

Yeah, making Greenland an American Protectorate like Puerto Rico or the Philippines has no downside whatsoever as far as I can tell. Go for it Trump. .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||
