It's funny how those ultra-long-term decisions always seem to benefit the Tech Bro oligarchs & billionaires and their increasing wealth today as well, allegedly, as the intended beneficiaries - the notional humungous swarms of human beings who will have colonised the Cosmos in the far future, but never we, the ordinary people, who are alive around us today.

But what's in it for Donald Trump personally if the USA were to seize Greenland?

Well, like all corrupt dictators, Don The Con would likely acquire huge tracts of land - prime real estate for the development of multiple hotels, casinos and private jet-ports servicing several premium golf resorts.

And, likely, the right to rename Greenland to Trump Greensland.

Putin, like Trump, could adopt the figleaf of seizure predicated on 'national security interests,' allowing Russian SSBNs safer passage into the Atlantic (compromising NATO's stranglehold on the GIUK gap).

And Putin could take a leaf out of Khrushchev's play-book and, Cuba-style, install IRBMs on the Faroe Islands, threatening all of Western Europe. After all, that worked so well for the USSR... #Sarcasticon

The use of military force by the USA under Donald Trump against a fellow #NATO member, Denmark, to annex Greenland would not only signal possibly the final nail in the coffin for the old rules-based international order but would probably encourage Putin to move against a weakened Denmark and the western alliance, allowing Russia to seize the Danes' other Atlantic possession - the Faroe Islands.
