Murdoch Paper Totally Baffled by Trump’s Newfound Thirst for Invasion: ‘Why?’

A newspaper owned by conservative media tycoon Rupert Murdoch has warned that President Donald Trump’s land-grab threats have turned into a “self-defeating exercise in U.S. bullying.”

“Successful U.S. presidents don’t reduce America’s role in the world to might-makes-right,” the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board wrote Tuesday. “Maybe the Greenland affair is merely what now passes for online MAGA entertainment. But Mr. Trump would help his own cause in every hemisphere if he dropped the invade-Greenland routine.”

The MAGA leader has repeatedly threatened Greenland since assuming office for the second time last January, refusing to rule out the possibility of taking the Danish territory by force.
