Representative Early "Buddy" Carter (R-GA) has introduced a bill to support President Donald Trump's (R) desire to acquire Greenland and possibly rename it if the United States owns it. Rep. Carter's legislation would rename Greenland "Red, White, and Blueland" as a play on words of America's colors.
Rep. Carter shared that this bill's passage would signify "America is back" and solidify the nation's priority of national security by acquiring the land currently owned by the Dutch.
“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland. President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal," said Rep. Carter.
This rhetoric from the Georgia congressman falls in line with Representative Pete Sessions' (R-TX) idea of President Donald Trump's (R) "Big Dream" agenda.
Rep. Sessions believes President Trump's optimistic, daring platform will unite all Republicans in the lower chamber, despite a few conservative renegades.
How does Rep. Sessions describe this agenda?
He calls it "The Big Dream." A plan to restore American exceptionalism by rejecting the country's former "lead from behind" approach and replacing it with a spirit of the nation's pioneers.
The Big Dream reclaims the country's mantle of manifest destiny, venturing into North and South American areas such as Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal, and discovering what lies in our solar system, like a journey to Mars. This requires a reestablished spirit guided by America First principles both at home and abroad, which Sessions believes will bring all Republicans in the House and the Senate to coalesce around President Trump's vision.
He shared this vision with Texas Politics.
"Well, it's important how we look at the 218 [Republican House] votes, how do you add that up? And the first thing I would say is President Trump, for four years, campaigned off, not just what he did for the country, and not just against what the Democrats had done and what the Biden administration was doing, but he advocated actually for what I call 'The Big Dream.' And Joe Biden and Democrats have small ideas competing against a big dream," said Sessions.
A lot of Republicans, including Reps. Carter and Sessions are buying into the idea that President Trump is leading America into another "gilded age."
