Me too. Out of nowhere. I guess DJT has a reason. Where did he plan to procure the wampum? I suppose Greenland could have some strategic value vis-a-vis the other side of the Pole from the Bear...? ...Artic oil? Anti-submarine warfare? Polar bear pelts?
Here’s a quick take that makes sense to me:

All of those things, except the polar bear pelts. That would more be the interest of his son. My gut says that he’s always thinking about the first paragraph of his post presidency bio. It’s probably going to say something about the House impeaching and the Senate not going along. And saying that he added x sq miles to the US of A would be a very nice touch in that first paragraph, and if he accomplished that, it WOULD be in the first paragraph. But to do that, he has to get not just another R Senate, but also an R House. Because he’ll probably lose the House again in the second half of his 2nd term. So the 2020-2022 is going to be crucial. I expect he’s going to exhaust himself campaigning this time, not just for himself and the Senate, but for vast numbers of House seats, too.
