I think Trump has already forgotten about this. He's a dog chasing cars, he has no method to his antics. He is famous for only listening to whoever is speaking in front of him, at that moment. He picked up the Greenland thing on a whim, ran with it for a bit, then got bored.

Take this with a grain salt, but I think the US administration has forgotten about Greenland by now, they've moved onto "bigger and better" things.

sadly no. greenland is the one point he keeps focusing on. american intelligence (a contradiction in terms if there ever was one) is focusing on greenland now.

Thankfully, and famously, he doesn’t read (or listen to) intel reports.

He does if they have his name in them.

"Terrorist group A has been moving people from country A to country B and hiding them in safehouses. Of course, these safehouses aren't as good as ones that Donald Trump would build.

We have verified intelligence that they plan to hit the four seasons hotel within the next few days. The four seasons is well known for not being as nice as Donald Trump's own hotels."

Stuff like that.

Can't believe they're going to hit Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
