Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), a Democrat who’s no stranger to stirring the pot, went on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 Tuesday and dropped a bombshell: Donald Trump’s push to buy Greenland has him wondering if the former president is getting senile. Yeah, you read that right—Moulton, fresh off his own military service and supposed pragmatism, is pathologizing a bold geopolitical maneuver as elder dementia. Never mind that Trump’s Greenland gambit echoes historical precedents like Secretary of State William Seward’s 1867 purchase of Alaska (derided as Seward’s Folly at the time) or even Harry Truman’s floated $100 million offer for the icy territory in 1946. This isn’t senility; it’s strategic foresight in an era of Arctic resource wars, Chinese expansionism, and melting ice opening new shipping lanes. Moulton’s quip reeks of the same elitist dismissal Democrats lobbed at Trump’s America First instincts, from trade deals to border security.
For the 2A community, this Greenland drama is a flashing red light on deeper implications. Trump’s vision for U.S. control over Greenland isn’t just about rare earth minerals or military bases—it’s about securing strategic high ground against globalist threats that could encroach on American sovereignty. Imagine a fortified Arctic foothold bolstering NORAD defenses, deterring Russian subs or Chinese influence ops that might otherwise loop back to undermine domestic freedoms. We’ve seen how foreign entanglements fuel gun-grab agendas: think UN small arms treaties or Biden’s global norms on firearms that erode Second Amendment protections. A stronger, self-reliant America under Trump-style leadership means fewer excuses for internationalist politicians to import their nanny-state policies here. Moulton’s senile jab? It’s projection from a party desperate to delegitimize any move that prioritizes U.S. power—and by extension, the armed citizenry that underpins it.
The real senility is in the Democratic echo chamber, where questioning endless wars or open borders is unhinged, but floating trillions in green grifts is genius. 2A patriots should cheer Trump’s Greenland push as a reminder: real leadership eyes the horizon, not just the next election cycle. If Moulton wants to play armchair psychiatrist, fine—but the armed American voter will have the last word come November. Stay vigilant, stock up, and keep fighting for the Republic.
