Mr. Trump: Greenland is not for sale : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 20/1/2026

Trump threatens to seize Greenland from a NATO ally, shattering trust, exposing naked resource hunger, and risking the alliance that underpins Western security.

Answer-
Thanks for your question Diver Dan.

Yes, a lot of this seems paradoxical. The first question in a crisis is, "who do you trust?". (I trust Trump.) Then how do we turn this temporary trust into something somewhat permanent, through selective empowerment, borders, structure, education, institutions, law, etc? What happens when the people driving the system that you trust are gone?

When things seem paradoxical, you have to review your underlying assumptions, to find the source of your misunderstanding. There are some paradoxes that you won't be able to resolve, because they are founded in the nature of reality, but the process will give you a higher perspective, and usually you can make an 'appropriate' compromise. Perhaps this is the difference between realism and idealism, that is not to say that ideals/ principles are negotiable, but they occupy a space with hidden principles.

Essentially, how do we change this world system into the next, while staying connected with the continuity of the past.

The law isn't always the answer. (I suspect that it's rarely the answer.)

I hope I've provided something useful here in answer to your question Diver Dan.

One of the main things is to "use the doers" such as Trump while we can. Protect him from being distracted, feed him things he can act on.

It will be much harder to get things done when Trump is gone. Hopefully he will still be able to support as a cheerleader after the presidency.

Anything we can do to sweep the idiots out of the way is worth it. We are going to get a lot of faeces on our feet.

I often smile to myself when I think of how long it took to close the Mexican border. It shows that President Trump can be extremely effective. We need to create more opportunity for Trump effectiveness. We only have two more years, it will pass very quickly....

There are a couple of proven opportunities for Trump to still matter after his term expires in a couple of years, which have a precedence for hope.

The most important of which is the example of Obama. When crooked Joe was wobbling through his presidency, and falling down gangways at various airports, falling asleep during his public speeches and all that, Obama was the President in fact, from his garage in Washington: It would be beyond a shadow of doubt, Trump will install a puppet President, it makes every logical sense, worry not!

Secondly, and equally as important is Trumps ability to bribe his way to success.
This is a family trait which was perfected by his Granddaddy ( name escapes me).
But Granddaddy Trump made his fortune in the gold rush on the Klondike around 1896.
He achieved his fortune investing in hotels, real estate, but most importantly, prostitution rackets. When the water began to boil around him, he did a runner to NY and continued the action.

The last bit of that story is important, since it has stamped the Trump dynasty with its particular mix of morals, and so consequently, the Don is a clone of Granddaddy, demonstrated by his close association with Epstein, the Epstein files and a smorgasbord of other evidence, except nobody will last long as a witness, so it simply must “go without saying”: Anyway, who cares if the King is a pedo; it’s his right and privilege under the rules of elitism. It’s why the Epsteins of this world flourish.

Trumps personality flaws are as interesting, but much more dangerous.
His judgements on global politics concerning peace and stability, especially among Arabs, is his Achilles heel. The litmus test of his ability to bully the weak guy, is stark compared to the subtlety of Israel in dealing with him from a realistic perspective based on survival.
Trump is as safe as Fort Knox.

In growing up surrounded by bathtubs of money and family influence to ensure success, there is much Trump only pretends to know. The big one is dealing with underhanded contempt, and in dealing with the contemptuous, how to actually identify friend from foe.

There you are CM, a profile of DT.

The world is saved, thanks to Nuremberg Dan and the Kudos Kid who between the pair of them. "One of the main things is to "use the doers" such as Trump while WE can." WE, who are the WE? Maybe its this pair of yokels on a little old forum such as OLO. Me thinks the Kudos Kid has just promoted himself to the exalted position of Reich Marshal. Talk about being delusional.

Comment 1. Secondly, and equally as important is Trumps ability to bribe his way to success ...
Ans- I suspect most people will bribe to get things done if they can, probably through a lawyer.

C2. Granddaddy Trump made his fortune in the gold rush on the Klondike around 1896 ... achieved his fortune investing in hotels, real estate, ... prostitution rackets...
Ans- I understand that the Wild West was pretty wild. Sadly not many Christian's survived there at that time.

C3. Anyway, who cares if the King is a pedo; it’s his right and privilege under the rules of elitism. It’s why the Epsteins of this world flourish.
Ans- I don't think Trump is a pedo, but perhaps a womaniser. Epstein may have been a Mossad spy engaged in mass honeypotting of influential people. It discredits Israel pthat they would perhaps sponsor this activity. The book 'Think and Grow Rich' Napoleon Hill talked about sex as a motivating force (so did Herbert Marcuse- but with a darker viewpoint).

C4. Trumps personality flaws are as interesting, but much more dangerous.
Ans- I think Trump is loyal to the American concept. I'm sure Trump is dangerous in certain conditions. I think many Woke Marxist's are trying to create the impression that Trump is dangerous to America. I think that the church is important for Western/ European civilization but some of it's principles seem problematic. I think that Trump is trying to help the church survive in the modern era- certainly more than the Woke Marxist's
