Greenland- what does Trump want with it?

Trump is extensively talking about Greenland. More importantly, the purchase of the island. The largest in the world. But it's one of the world’s most desolate places. What does Trump see in Greenland? For Trump, Real Estate is his game. Purchasing Greenland is the real estate deal of a lifetime. A deal that would purchase a land mass 25% of the US. Something only paralleled to the purchase of Alaska. In 1867, under President Andrew Jackson. Or the Louisiana purchase in 1803.

Why Americans Hate Atheist Presidential Candidates…

Presidential Candidates for 2020 has yielded no end of diverse figures. Several billionaires. A self-help guru. Openly gay men. Investors. More women than ever before. Socialists. People of colour. But one key figure is missing... atheists. Whilst the religious beliefs of the socialist candidates, including Senator Bernie Sanders, are unknown. There are no openly atheist candidates... Despite atheism seeming to take hold in many parts of the world. There are very few openly atheist politicians. Even if the voter isn’t religious themselves. A religious representative conveys trust.

Why Brexit is significant, revealed

Three years ago Britain had a referendum. The EU: In or Out. The vote was split 48% to 52%. Quite close politically speaking.

Why Britain isn’t leaving Europe, only the EU…

Since the controversial Brexit vote in June 2016, where Britain voted to leave the EU. British politics has been quite frankly... poor. The British leaders have been squabbling, barely able to come to an agreement within the Conservative party let alone factoring Jeremy Corbyn and his Labour Party. This uncertainty has caused businesses to justifiably emigrate to more stable countries, like Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France.
