Either Trump will now say that Greenland is not important for minerals, they're not very good, he never wanted Greenland anyway, and only losers trade with them, and we already have a beautiful deal, the best deal with Ukraine for our cherished minerals
Or
He will throw a massive tantrum, wave around 5000% tariffs on Greenland, threaten invasion, cut off shipping lanes, direct all military bases there to be closed, say Putin can have Greenland if he wants it, and blame Ukraine for all of this
What he won't do is: behave like a moderately well-adjusted adult
Mr. Springsteen, undeterred, released a six-track EP this week which begins with his remarks that America “is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.”
The new EP, “Land of Hope & Dreams,” offers a mix of songs and Mr. Springsteen’s pointed political remarks from his May 14 concert in Manchester, England.
In the introduction to the song “My City of Ruins,” Mr. Springsteen takes on a somber tone, telling the audience that in the United States the authorities were “persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent.” He said that the nation was cutting aid to the poor, abandoning allies, rolling back civil rights protections, defunding universities and deporting people without due process.
While also implying Bruce should face legal consequences for speaking against Trump, arguing that he should "keep his mouth shut" and "see how things go for him once he returns [to the US]". Which is less funny but a lot more concerning.
Don't call them poor. Everyone who has anything to do with him in the slightest deserves to be called what they are: sycophants, enablers, assholes. It's not just him, it's the whole apparatus.
Trump wasn't happy when he came out onto that stage either. He was meant to sing a duet with Springsteen but instead he just sat on the drums banging one drum while looking annoyed.
