"While the issue of Greenland may be a trap, Trump didn’t take into account the cost of setting it. It shows his voters that while they're hurting on the one thing he promised he’d fix, he’s focused instead on something so inane, it only sends one message to his voters: he does not care about them."
Trump set a trap. I'll bite.
There's a decent chance that Trump's threats against Greenland are a distraction, but he overlooked a critical consequence.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.
In Denmark:
- Health care and college are free.
- The starting wage is $22/hr.
- Paid parental leave is 1 year.
- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.
- All workers get pensions.

Medicare for All isn't radical.
What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.
Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

At a time when the Social Security Administration is grossly understaffed, Trump plans to lay off up to 50% of its employees.
Outrageous.
This will make it HARDER for Americans to get the services they need.
This is clearly a step toward the privatization of Social Security.
