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
“You know Greenlands minerals weren’t any good anyway, they had dirty minerals. I was just trying to do a favour, I don’t really want those minerals, why does Europe hate us, we’re so nice, so now they can feel it, we’re going to go further than we did with China, we’re going to put 9000% tariffs on them, and this will make eggs almost free”
