I feel like if you’re going to slag off the study as “slop” you should at least follow the links to the study itself where you can see that they did in fact have a control group who were posed general questions instead of catcalling. They didn’t switch genders because that wasn’t the purpose of the study.

I feel like you’re ascribing so much more intelligence and thoughtfulness to Trump’s reasoning than has been consistently demonstrated. I fully believe that his entire reasoning is that Greenland is really big on most map projections and relatively easy to take by force (whether by bullying Denmark into ceding it or literally invading it militarily).

He wants to leave his mark by doing something very few Presidents have done, especially in the modern era. Same reason he created the Space Force or the White House ballroom - it’s a vanity project by a malignant narcissist who wants to leave a legacy and doesn’t care about the cost, or even the actual benefits.

Glad he went with Terry Davis and not Richard Stallman.

Note: This is posted in the same tongue in cheek manner as your image and not meant to conflate Bill Gates and Richard Stallman.
