An interesting take. Read somewhere that the reason Trump want’s Greenland and Canada is so the US is bigger geographical than Russia. Was said as a semi-joke. But at this point I’m not ruling anything out.
Comment on Trump says U.S. will 'get Greenland,' military force may not be needed but not ruled out

Does Trump want Greenland so bad because he thinks it’s huge due to a map projection?

No, it’s more to do with securing the arctic corridor as climate change opens up new areas for exploitation.

It sure is, but on google maps, it looks as big as northern America.
