Now, now, obviously it was a good idea if that brilliant young Mr Cotton says so!
And after we buy Greenland, I hear Brazil might make a great offer for Puerto Rico, and ol’ Vlad thought that Russia buying California could make life a lot easier for our President, too!

I have it on good authority that this man applies tape to his genitals and tears it off to stimulate himself.

You know it’s just a matter of time before these same criminals start suggesting that the United States “annex” Greenland in the name of “national security”, by executive order. The “stable geniuses” won’t be able to help themselves.

Jeez, what an idea man that gawky dead-eyed goon Cotton is. What great idea will he come up with next!? Being the Ayatollah’s pen pal? Oh sorry that only applies when there’s a Dem in the White House.

Another excellent example of failing upwards.
“Who’s ridiculous idea was this?”
“It was MINE - I claim all the credit!”

I will say this…Team Trump has damage control people. Cotton’s title and his bullshit military-esque blathering is designed to protect Trump, especially to the inattentive and dense. And lemme tell ya…this mook Trump will need a LOT of protection going forward
According to Cotton’s logic we should have purchased Germany.

I get it “Greenland has lots of resources.” Has anybody told Cotton that he isn’t living in the age of empire. It is much easier and fairer for all concerned if we let the local populations control their own resources. It is cheaper too.

Well Ronald Reagan did send Oliver North and Robert McFarlane to Iran with a birthday cake for the Ayatollah. Oh, and with a shipment of TOW missiles, too.

Cotton full of cottonballsh*t!
How about Cotton suggest to Trump to NOT incite violence and stochastic terrorism from #TrumpsTerrorists aka MAGA bombers or White Supremacists?

If he had any sense, he wouldn’t be bragging about his stupidity.
But this is Cotton we’re talking about, so yeah…

Cotton mentioned that in 2018 the Chinese government tried to convince the local government of Greenland to let it build three military bases there — but that the Trump administration and some in Congress convinced Denmark to block the deal at the last minute.

Exactly!
(And does he also make the mistake of thinking that most Greenlanders are blond Vikings, whereas they are mostly Inuit, and thus non-white? Probably.)

TL;DR: “Dude jumps into story about the President’s brain damage to declare he too is a proud brain damaged person.”

This piece of shit is up for reelection in 2020. I read that they call him Rotten Cotton in his home state. That fits.

“I told the President you should buy it as well,” Cotton said, adding later that Trump “heard that from me and from some other people as well.”
