With Greenland seemingly high on Donald Trump's shopping list, Daily Show host Ronnie Chieng spent some time on Wednesday reacting to the administration's stance on Denmark's territory.

"The point is, we need Greenland," says Chieng. "Why? For their freedom, or their oil, or for national defe— look, I don't remember what excuse we're using."

After saying "this congressman, he'll explain it," Chieng brings up a clip of Rep. Andy Ogles describing the U.S. as the "dominant predator in the Western hemisphere" in justification for why it's important America has a stake.

"Yes, Trump is the dominant predator in the Western hemisphere," says Chieng. "At least now that Jeffrey Epstein is dead."
