I understand he is trying to destroy America, but this would make it nearly instant.

And that’s basically it!
They should tell him, it's not green and there are not many kids to moleat over there.
Why won't France and the UK state they'd nuke him back if he tried? They're NATO countries too and need to stand by in solidarity with an ally being attacked. Letting the orange Hitler do as he pleases will only embolden him to go after them later.
Spoiler alert: Munich betrayal incoming
That's honestly the best reason he has given for it so far.
This might be the only true thing he's ever said.
let him play with a fake world map where everything is called USA
United States of America
European Union of States of America
Soviet Union of America
…
At least he is honest...
If that even made sense, it would be even more reason to deny him it.
So, he understands the concept of a safe space... But only for him? And only if it's... a country?
Someone throw some green-painted dirt on his face and tell him "Here's your greenland, now fuck off"
Psycho for sure but totally illogical
The US already has direct colonial control over NATO. NATO is fully committed to not let Russia invade Greenland or setup oil rigs off the coast, and it is absurd to suggest that Russia or China are patrolling Greenland or have any desire to attempt to take their resources without cooperation. But the US would get NATO's help for defense of Greenland, and NATO would permit greater US contribution to NATO command bases there, or obey orders to contribute more themselves.
Trump, in addition to repeating the false China/Russia threat, has admitted zero interest in Greenland's resources. They are too far away and extremely expensive to develop. This leaves only a single possible motive for needing US control over Greenland: The absolute certainty that EU will disobey US orders for greater submission and the need to directly threaten them from closer distance. There is no offensive missile threat to Russia provided by Greenland relative to other NATO territory.
