    An alignment of multiple interests, I think.

    Russia wants to see a weaker NATO, US, and EU. Trump’s pedophile technofascist backers want Greenland as a completely unregulated, fresh space for their fascist agenda. Trump pleases all of his handlers by squeezing the EU for Greenland.

    I doubt Trump himself cares even a little bit about Greenland. The fucker just wants to loaf around playing golf while eating burgers served on golden platters by people who fawn over him.

      No, perhaps that was him during his first term, but now he is clearly very intent on using the power he has been handed to whatever he wants.

      On that last point, the characterization may no longer be true.

      I think he’s evolved into his ultimate evil. The fucker knows he’s old and gonna move on soon. He wants to leave as massive a historical stain as he can before he kicks the bucket.

      I agree that it’s multiple interests aligning, but I wouldn’t discount Trump wanting it for himself as well. The man puts his name on everything, being able to add a new state as well as a massive chunk of land would be huge to a narcissist like that. I think the other sides you mentioned are playing off of that desire to convince him it is somehow justified.
