A: Hey! Did you hear about Trump again? It’s wild!
B: No! What’s he up to now? Seriously?
A: He really wants to buy Greenland! Like, *buy* it!
B: Greenland?! Wow! Why Greenland?
A: He says the US needs to protect it better. He even joked it only has "two dog sleds!"
B: Haha! That’s a funny thing to say! But he’s serious about buying it?
A: Apparently! He wants to *own* it, not just borrow it for a little while.
B: But Denmark says no, right? They’re not selling.
A: Exactly! But he’s worried Russia or China will try to get it if the US doesn’t.
B: Oh boy, here we go with the Russia and China thing! He says they have boats everywhere now?
A: That's what he said. And he doesn’t seem to care that it might upset NATO, which Denmark is a part of.
B: Seriously? That’s...complicated. Anything else?
A: Yeah! He’s also still pretending he’s going to run Venezuela!
B: *Really*? He’s still doing that? He posted a picture of himself as president?
A: Yup! It's all very… Trump.
