The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Really? They think this was a victory?

This is from a Gemini search for Hannity's reaction, but I've heard others on the right saying pretty much the same thing. I doubt the 'news' portion of FOX would see it in the same light, but I have not seen how they reported on the outcome. Hannity said that Trump had really showed up the 'doubters' with this big win.

In January 2026, Sean Hannity has emerged as one of the most vocal defenders of President Trump’s "framework" agreement on Greenland, characterizing the outcome of the Davos summit as a significant strategic win rather than a backdown.  

Hannity’s Core Arguments
On his Fox News program, Hannity has framed the negotiations through the lens of "America First" strength and tactical brilliance:

A "Breath of Fresh Air" at Davos: Hannity described Trump’s presence at the World Economic Forum as a breath of fresh air for a global elite that had grown complacent. He argued that Trump's willingness to challenge the status quo forced allies to finally take American security concerns in the Arctic seriously.

Criticism of European Resistance: He labeled the initial "show of force" and pushback from European countries regarding Greenland as embarrassing and pathetic. In his view, these nations are dependent on U.S. security while simultaneously obstructing U.S. strategic interests.

The "Framework" as a Win: Rather than seeing the pause in tariffs as a "capitulation," Hannity argues that Trump successfully moved the needle from a flat "no" from Denmark to a formal negotiation framework that includes Arctic security and resource access.

National Security Priority: Hannity has consistently echoed Trump’s claim that only the United States has the power and resources to properly secure Greenland from Russian and Chinese encroachment.
