President Donald Trump did not rule out military force to acquire Greenland in an interview as the Danish territory continued to rebuff his advances.

One of the major things that got him elected in the first place is that he promised to stop the continuous war cycle that the Rs and Ds kept getting us into. Where the hell is this coming from, when did he become yet another warmonger president?

Not sure if this is sarcasm but if you're serious, you fell for propaganda because Trump has been a warmongering asshole the entire time.

Trump campaign against Warmongering against russia and their allies. Everyone else is fair gain.

I don't think you need to "fall for propaganda" to know this. I mean, I heard it from Trump supporters listing it off as a reason for why they would vote for him, pointing out how he didn't participate in war during his firs term and was likely to prevent the US from doing so.

<...> when did he become yet another warmonger president?

He always was. You must be living under the rock to believe that lie.

Syria attacks in 2019, drones strikes in 2020, failure to leave Afghanistan in 2020.

That last sentence gives me the sad notion you actually thought he might do some good. He was never ever going to do anything good or anything he promised to the public.
