And people say Trump isn't doing anything good for America.
That must be the lowest bar for any president... but even then, here he isn't doing anything for America, he is trying to rebrand and put his name on yet another meaningless piece of paper, just like all those "peace agreements" he boasted about before, that were not real or he had nothing to do with, trying to get Nobel Peace Prize.
This "agreement" doesn't give the US anything more we didn't have in the 1951+2004 agreements. This is just a way for Denmark to placate Trump, who will now boast of a "great deal"... just like he eventually will with Canada and Mexico... except MAGA cult will hail it as an "Art of the Deal" "pressure tactics of successful hard-nosed businessman" even when a "deal" is not as good as one offered or could have been achieved before all the hostilities - so he backtracks and tries to sell it as a "win" - that's how he bankrupted nearly all his businesses and had to beg the Russians for lifelines.

|------- ... A Cold War era agreement allows Washington broad authority to conduct military operations on Greenland. The agreement, signed by Denmark and the United States in 1951, allows the U.S. to "construct, install, maintain, and operate" bases across the island, station personnel, and set the terms of "landings, takeoffs, anchorages, moorings, movements, and operation of ships, aircraft, and water-borne craft."

|------- ... Based on what Trump has disclosed so far, the new pact appears to grant Washington many of the same rights over security it already enjoys under the existing arrangement, Jacobsen said. A 1951 agreement with Denmark, updated in 2004 and still in force, gives the U.S. broad latitude to station forces in Greenland. ...

"Kayfabe!" - that's the word for this populist sad little "Celebrity Apprentice: DC" spectacle. It comes from carnivals and Trump's favorite "sportainment" of fake wrestling, WWF - (en.wikipedia.org) - you've seen and will see a lot more of it, MAGA just haven't been able to recognize it because they've been "blinded by the light" of the Trump cult.
Many [former] MAGA voters have already abandoned Trump's "reality TV cult" because he wrecked their businesses and/or livelihood, more are joining them every day... but some will just keep lying to themselves because they can't admit they've been wrong about Trump and "his" MAGA, just like many on the left can't accespt they've been wrong about socialism, and keep trying to redefine and rebrand what it is.
