What's happening with Trump's border wall ? I don't hear about it these days.

A significant part of the wall's path is in Texas and most Texas land is privately owned.  Court cases attempting to secure the land for the wall started during Taco's first presidency weren't resolved.  Apart from that, there are practical, financial and logistical barriers to construction. The White House seems a little coy about providing facts but the Texas Facilities Commission reported that it had completed 66.4 miles of wall and it's believed that the US Government has finished around 140 miles.  That's for a 1,254 mile border in Texas and the Texas Government has quietly defunded their works.

Of course, there are "smart walls" and water barriers in addition to physical walls; the Rio Grande makes up around two thirds of the border.  Taco is claiming that the wall, whatever that is, will be completed in late 2029. 

Bottom line; no-one really knows what's going on    

There is no statute of limitations on murder in Minnesota.
There will probably come a time when the case is tested in the courtroom.

Trump is apparently offering Greenlanders 10,000 to 100,000 to switch the country to the USA
If I was a Greenlander and he made it a million I'd do it in a heart-beat. 


Then I'd move to Canada

Canada will be another state in the USA according to Trump..got a massive drug and homeless problem too.

Trump's plans to acquire Greenland are disturbing for Australia imho.Denmark has been a good ally, had a long-term military relationship buying USA equipment and producing fighter aircraft parts for them.

Inflation says no.

If RedTrump went ahead with this inflation in the USA and Greenland would go through the roof, immediately the $1M would be worth next to nothing. It's the fundamental problem with unrestrained capitalism and it would be put on steroids by adding 100k overnight millionaires to USA economy at the expense of US citizens.

In any case, whatever value remained they would lose almost immediately it in fees, taxes and duties. Can you imagine Greenlandic natives suddenly losing Danish Health benefits and welfare to be left at the mercy of the privatised US Health and Social Services system, what's the fee for a call out to Greenland?

Inflation, gets you every time!
