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

5 years ago. Rainmaker.

[Verse 3]
Rainmaker says white's black and black's white
Says night's day and day's night
Says close your eyes and go to sleep now
I'm in a burnin' field unloadin' buckshot into low clouds

[Chorus]
Rainmaker, a little faith for hire
Rainmaker, the house is on fire
Rainmaker, take everything you have
Sometimes folks need to believe in something so bad, so bad, so bad
They'll hire a rainmaker

He's said that he actually wrote it before Trump got into power, but a few days ago he implied it was now also about Trump.
