Its the latest manosphere talking point. Pretty much a repeat of saying all protestors are paid by George Soros and the Clintons.

It is too short sighted to blame this all on Trump. The core issue is the West has abdicated its sovereignty and military to the US long ago.
If anyone threatened to take your home by force if you didn’t sell at his favorite price, the sane social discussion would focus on their uncivil threat and pro-social responses, not on victim blaming “the core issue is that I’ve abdicated my ability to defend my house by force.”
You could have a reasonable conversation about sovereign defense budgets and alliance contributions, but not while you’re threatening the sovereignty of an ally.
And all of this will make American citizens less safe, not more. It’s madness. There’s nothing to be gained here for most people by threat of force or hybrid warfare.

If anything, the Greenlanders have fought for the right to be Greenlanders.

It's a fair question. Greenland appears to be a very harsh place to live. Younger generations may not want to deal with that and go live in Europe.

Are all Greenlanders considered full Danish citizens? Can they leave Greenland and move to Denmark permanently? Also can people from Denmark buy property and live full time in Greenland?
Citizens of other Nordic countries can also live and work in Greenland without any permits. However, some jobs are restricted to Danish citizens who were born or raised in Greenland. EU citizens need a residence permit, because Greenland is not in the EU.

Welfare perhaps. State, almost certainly not. If this did come to pass, I wonder if the inhabitants would be US citizens or non-citizen nationals, like the population of American Samoa.
