“We blow them out of the water”. He says about Somali piracy. He claims that the US destroys pirate boats instead of negotiating or paying ransoms, and that declined piracy. Data shows that the decline is mainly due to international naval patrols and private security.

Somalia also did something.
"Can you believe Somalians turned out to be higher IQ than we thought? And we say these are low IQ people!".
According to Trump, there are “19 billion dollars stolen by Somalian bandage” in Minnesota linked to aid or welfare programs.
But there are no proves of this.

He keeps going back and forth to Greenland. At some point it became Iceland (that one is not much of a piece of ice, just saying...). Iceland is the one to blame for the stock market situation in the US. And Switzerland also did something...
I am lost. Not sure what is he talking about right now 😲.

"Emmanuel Macron, I watched him yesterday with this beautiful sunglasses. What the hell happened? I watched him sort of tough".
It is the turn of the French now.
Trump tells a story about a "You will do it"; "No, no, I won't do it" thing. Basically: the world will do what I ask for.

"We want a piece of ice for world protection and they won't give it. We've never asked for anything else, and we could have. They have a choice. You can say yes, and we will be very appreciative. Or you can say no, and we will remember"

It is a "piece of ice in the middle of the ocean" and "if there is a war, much of the action will take place on that piece of ice. Think of it", he says.
Then he goes to its neighbor. "Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that the next time you make your statement, Mark (Carney)".

"What we have gotten out of NATO is nothing, except to protect Europe from the Soviet Union, now Russia... And all we are asking for is to get Greenland, including right, title and ownership. You need the ownership to defend it. You can't defend it on a lease".

About Greenland: "I don't have to use force. I don't want to use force. I won't use force... We already had it as a trustee, but respectfully returned it back to Denmark not long ago after we defeated the Germans, the Japanese, the Italians and others".

About the aggression of Ukraine: "it was a war that should have never started and it wouldn't have started if the 2020 US presidential election were rigged... And I know Putin very well, he and I would discuss Ukraine. I said: you are not doing it. He would have never done it. It was terrible".

"The United States was treated very unfairly by NATO. We give it so much and we get so little in return. And I have been a critic of NATO for many years".

"We saw this in World War II when Denmark fell to Germany, after just 6 hours of fighting. It was totally unable to defend either itself or Greenland. The US was then compelled. We felt an obligation to send our own forces to hold Greenland. They didn't have a chance of getting on it and they tried"

"I have a tremendous respect for both the people of Greenland and people of #Denmark. But every NATO Ally has an obligation to be able to defend their own territory, and the fact is no nation or group of nations is in any position to be able to secure #Greenland other than the United States", #Trump

"One thing I've noticed is that the more windmills the country has, the more money that country loses and the worse that country is doing. China makes almost all the windmills and yet, i haven' t able to find any wind farms in China. China is very smart". 🤔

"You are supposed to make money with energy, not lose it. In Europe, we've seen the fate that the radical left tried to impose on America. They tried very hard. Germany now generates 22 % less electricity than it did in 2017. And it is not the current Chancellor's fault, he is solving the problem".

"Venezuela has been an amazing place for so many years, but then they went bad with their policies. 20 years ago, it was a great country and now it got a problem. But we are helping them with those 50 million barrels (oil). We are going to be splitting up with them, they will be making more money".
