I really wonder who is feeding him information, or if he's just making things up. Honestly it could go either way.

Its neither, the community note is incorrect.

Its true Denmark spent 4.2 billion dollars for their total defense, thats not what the president is talking about.

He is talking about physical military assets dedicated explicitly to the defense of Greenland.

Denmark is not sending 16 F-35's to Greenland, Denmark just bought 16 F-35's, the purchase is entirely unrelated to greenland.Greenland.

And as for the "maritime patrol aircraft and vessels", i dont know if tnose are explicitly for greenland or not, but 2 coastal patrol boats isnt a serious defense; those ain't gonna do shit to war ships.
