Trump has been trying to distract from his backpedaling on all of his campaign promises (massive & stupid tariffs, lowering grocery prices somehow, deporting like 1/4 of the population, etc) before he's even been sworn in by saying he's going to annex/buy/maybe conquer Greenland from Denmark. He's also said this about Canada and sort of about Panama.
The whole thing is a media stunt, but basically, he sent his son and a bunch of other ghouls (pictured in the OP) to Greenland to make an appearance for the media. They did, then they left. It was a fools' errand and there were lots of fools to choose from.

I like that he keeps saying Canada will become a new state of the United states like it's not a larger land mass than the United states with multiple discrete provinces and territories.
There's about 40 million ppl in Canada and about 38 million in California. I don't support the idea but it's not entirely insane for it to be one state.
Apart from the whole being part of the USA thing. That's insane. I just hope Canada's right wing are not so craven as to want to sell out their country, but I don't trust them.
If I learned anything about rightwingers, it's that most of them have no qualms whatsoever about selling out their own country.
At the same time they do love to call themselves patriots and accuse progressives of not being.
