Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT:
When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success"

“This is setting us up for the Insurrection Act,” Dr. Jason Stanley warns of Trump's authoritarian tactics in cities across America. “I think we are facing the moment in which a coup is happening. This is the moment.” What’s needed now, he adds, is full-scale nonviolent resistance. #Velshi
‘A coup is happening’: A new warning against Trump’s authoritarian slide
In a stark warning, Dr. Jason Stanley says America is entering a dangerous period with President Trump’s growing rhetoric against the so-called “radical left” and “domestic terrorists.” “I think we are facing the moment in which a coup is happening,” Stanley warns. “This is the moment,” he says, and adds that what’s needed now is full-scale, nonviolent resistance.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."
