Does trump think invading Greenland will be good for the economy when every major ally stops trading with us and actively tries to sabotage us?

it’s not that they can’t sanction the us as in they aren’t allowed to, they can’t sanction the us as in it’s not economically feasible

Please elaborate actually. Why isn’t it economically feasible? Cause my take on it is: what EXPORTS do we produce that the world… needs? or can’t buy from china?

I assume the argument is we would sanction them back and they would lose access to our market. I don’t think it’s our products that people want it’s usually our services.

you can’t just suddenly not trade with a trading partner who takes 20% of your exports

No that’s fair actually. But I do wonder about which countries the US has sanctioned that may be willing to take some of that 20%.
