1. The U.S. Has Never Owned Greenland

A Few Words From the Internet:

For over 300 years, Greenland has been a territory of Denmark. Today, Greenland is an independent, autonomous territory inside the Kingdom of Denmark.

The U.S. still has a Defense Agreement with Denmark that allows American troops to use military bases there. However, the land is governed entirely by the people of Greenland and Denmark.

6. The US occupied Greenland to protect it after Denmark was invaded by Germany in WWII

That's why we still have a base there, but #rump thinks that means we "owned" it and shouldn't have "given it back."

Biden had four years.
Donald also had four years in-between them.

Why didn't you do it, tough guy?
