The post on social media contained a video clip filmed on January 7, 2025. It’s of an airport runway, hemmed in the the ocean, and in the distance, the sky is a hazy pink. The mountains in the frame are snow-capped. The wind crackles into the microphone of the camera, and the sound intensifies as a plane comes into view.

It’s a jet. As the wheels touch down in what appears to be a perfect landing, you can see it: the letters TRUMP painted on the plane.

The caption of the Truth Social post says in part: “MAGA. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!”

Will the United States seize Greenland? And while we’re at it, the Panama Canal?
