Trump, if nothing else, knows how to read the room. The problem is that he doesn't govern alone. He can say he's pulling ICE agents out of Minnesota because it's cratering his popularity, but nobody in his own party takes that seriously. What makes Greenland unique is that it would take Trump's approval to launch an invasion, and Trump knows what it would do to his popularity.
To be absolutely clear this isn't an defence of Trump in any way. It's just "he knows how to read the room" and nothing else.
