Anyway, the Mercator Projection is nice in relation to navigation nevertheless it does distort world maps by guaranteeing components of the globe seem bigger than they’re, together with Greenland.
Which begs the query, does Trump really need Greenland for its untapped oil and gasoline reserves and its uncommon earth minerals (which aren’t actually uncommon, so why don’t we name them ‘earths’?) or does he simply fancy taking on an island that’s massive however not fairly as massive as he thinks it’s? Solutions on a postcard to the White Home.
The truth is that Trump tends to get what he needs and Greenland might effectively find yourself in U.S. palms (to get forward of the curve, I’ve already secured the naming rights for the island’s potential Main League Baseball workforce, the Nuuk Nukes).
Europe’s solely choice to cease Trump seems to be to drive him to eat the nationwide dish, suaasat, which is a soup manufactured from seal, whale, reindeer, or seabirds, or to supply him one thing else European as a substitute.
Is there an EU nation that he may very well be supplied as a substitute of Greenland (apart from Hungary, which he already has shares in)? Luxembourg’s acquired cash? Malta’s acquired sunshine? Eire’s acquired one in all Trump’s golf programs?
Maybe he’ll settle for a prize. Can the EU strongarm the Norwegians into giving Trump the Nobel Peace Prize (and even the “Noble Peace Prize” as he wrote on Reality Social this week)?
