12. I think he will eventually be dissuaded

If as reported the Joint Chiefs have told him it would be illegal, hard for them to turn around and do it. Denmark/Greenland will throw him a bone of some sort, more US military or deals on the various natural resources and the issue will go away. Plus it helps that we're getting closer to the elections and some Republicans will be trying to save their seat and Trump will be distracted by trying to get turn out and/or falling asleep. And then after the election, we will almost certainly be able to be more of a check with control of the House and in a longer shot the Senate.
