Maj John Bell - 1. I don't believe Trump does anything if it does not benefit him in some manner.
2. The US is NOT some business that must "benefit" from whatever it does.
3. The larger the empire, the more power.

MSG Stan Hutchison -

1. I remain unconvinced. Please support your belief. As a pre-emptive counter I offer the link below "Donald Trump's Generosity: A Lifetime of Giving Back" Now what have you got? [please see link below]

2. The US is a nation. The purpose of a nation is multifaceted, encompassing both social and political dimensions. A nation is a community of people who share a common identity, culture, and history, often with a distinct territory. The purpose of a nation can be seen in its role as a political entity, where the government governs the people, and the nation as a collective that ***seeks to protect its interests and promote its values.*** Nations are also seen as cultural entities, where shared traditions and customs foster a sense of belonging and unity among its members. Additionally, nations can serve as a means of self-determination, where groups of people can assert their rights and pursue their interests within a defined territory.

The most important part of the above paragraph is ***seeks to protect its interests...*** Would the peaceful acquisition of Greenland help to protect our global interests? Yes or no?

You are correct, we are not a business, however promoting the general welfare of US citizens is enshrined within the Constitution.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, ***promote the general Welfare, *** and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

It is right there in the Preamble to the Constitution "PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE." Would the peaceful acquisition of Greenland promote the general welfare? Yes or No?

3. Once again, you've offered a slogan, not a substantive argument. How does the peaceful acquisition of Greenland increase President Trump's personal power? Please be specific. If at all, doesn't any power the US gains from the peaceful acquisition of Greenland really go to the office as opposed to the individual?

Maj John Bell - John, you go ahead and post all that Trump propaganda you like. It won't change my opinion of that narcissistic, childish, egotistic, sex abuser, draft-dodger. He is exactly what the major problem with capitalism is, a poor little rich kid with daddy's money to protect him. Never had to work a day in his life.
I will celebrate greatly the day he leaves the White House.

MSG Stan Hutchison - Once again, your response is a non-response.

Are my questions too difficult to address with substantive cogent answers?

What do you call work? Does only blue-collar work meet your standard? I've known some highly successful multi-millionaires. Not one of them "never had to work a day in their life." Most of them work 60+ hours per week. Some work more than 90 hours per week.

And capitalism is the single greatest system for increasing the standard of living of the people living in it.

Being "improper" is a joke in this administration and encouraged. Hopefully, it is illegal - however, if so how long is it likely to remain so during these times.
