Trump's Greenland Plan Makes No Sense: "Are you out of your f*cking mind?"

January 09, 202600:43
00:00:00
If a client came to you and said, "I
00:00:01
want to buy Greenland." What would be
00:00:03
the thing as an investment banker you
00:00:04
would do?
00:00:05
>> I want to buy Greenland. Are you out of
00:00:07
your [ __ ] mind?
00:00:08
>> Okay.
00:00:08
>> Are we going to piss off our best allies
00:00:11
to try to obtain this block of ice, you
00:00:14
know, that may have strategic value?
00:00:15
It's another example of this crazy wacky
00:00:19
imperialistic behavior that is so
00:00:21
unbecoming and you would think that we
00:00:23
would have learned from our past
00:00:25
mistakes in this area. And it makes
00:00:27
people hate us and resent us. And he's
00:00:29
fmenting it without any accountability.
00:00:32
And to what end?
00:00:33
>> So, are you out of your [ __ ] mind? I
00:00:35
don't think you ever spoke to a client
00:00:37
like that.
