When the history of the Trump presidency is written, I’m sure we will find out that Trump’s fascination with Greenland can be traced back to something he saw on TV.

Late one night, alone in his bedroom while flipping through the cable channels, Trump came across and watched the 2008 James Bond movie Quantum of Solace.  In that film, a ruthless businessman named Dominic Greene seeks to stage a coup in Bolivia so that his company can obtain control of the country’s entire water supply.

Climate change is wreaking havoc on global weather patterns and disrupting global food and water supply chains.

Rising sea levels mean that saltwater is infiltrating fresh water aquifers and ruining farmland.

Major cities around the world are running out of drinking water.  Pretty much like India and the rest of the world

Sixty-nine percent of the world’s fresh water – 69%! – is stored in form of glaciers.  The largest single collection of glaciers in the world outside of Antarctica is in . . . Greenland.  Those glaciers are melting at an astounding rate with their fresh water running out to sea.

In twenty years the most valuable resource on Earth won’t be oil or natural gas – it will be fresh water.  If the United States were to buy Greenland, it would control the largest remaining source of fresh water on the planet the world.

Trump is easy to understand.  You just have to know that he gets all of his information from TV and thinks like a Bond villain.
