Firstly,America is a Republic. With a Democratic form of governance.

We are not a Theocracy. Which means one religion does not govern our country on a Federal or State level.

Further, while President Trump is a Christian,he is also a president who must comport himself according to the rules and guidelines under law in this Constitutional Republic.
Note,it is not a Biblical Republic.

Lastly,as to your question regarding Greenland and the Bible, I think if you read the Old Testament you'll learn a lot.
God sent his Hebrew armies in to overcome kingdoms and people.

So the USA is not a theocracy, but it can behave like it is a theocracy, when it wants to conquer other countries (which are sovereign) just like the Israelite people of the Old Testament.
That works.

Start with your nation.

Cultural divisions in Norway are defined by a mix of regional, urban-rural, and ethnic differences, alongside a strong, unifying, egalitarian national identity. Major divisions include
the distinct North-South contrast, rural farm-based traditions versus modern urban life, and the unique cultural identity of the indigenous Sámi people.

Regional Divides (North vs. South): A significant cultural split exists between the Northern regions (Nordland, Troms, Finnmark) and the South/East (especially Oslo). Northern Norway has a culture deeply tied to fishing, a more laid-back, humorous, and direct communication style, while the South is often associated with the urban, fast-paced, and more formal Norwegian lifestyle.
Urban vs. Rural (Bygd): Rural areas (often called bygda) tend to value traditional, tight-knit communities with, in some cases, three-generation households. Urban, middle-class areas, particularly in Oslo, focus more on equality, individualistic values, and a more transient, professional lifestyle.
Indigenous and Minority Groups: The Sámi people are the recognized indigenous population with their own language and culture in the northern regions. National minorities include the Kven (Finnish descent), Forest Finns, Jews, Roma, and Romani people.
Language Varieties: Norway has two official written languages, Bokmål (used by most, dominant in cities) and Nynorsk (more common in Western Norway), causing a linguistic divide that influences local identity.
Religion and Tradition: While officially Christian (Church of Norway), there is a divide between the more secular, progressive urban centers and the "Bible Belt" of Southern and Western Norway, which is generally more conservative.
General Unity: Despite these differences, most Norwegians share a deep-rooted, egalitarian culture, with a strong emphasis on outdoor life (friluftsliv), a high trust in society, and a shared pride in national traditions like Constitution Day (May 17th).

The US is a union of 50 different nations to be accurate, so getting it somewhat united is a job bigger than anyone has managed to do so far. Some have been trying, some have not.

#45/47 is in the lot that haven’t tried to unite anything. He’s seeking discord as a means of rule. Luckily he’s about to be exposed.

Is a united state/condition even remotely possible? It's never really been united - there were warnings from the beginning about the supposed uniting. Isn't it always an attempted uniting of one group against another? At this point it just seems that reality is always on display and readily available so we can't sit back only among friends and think those we don't see must also be our friends. Every tribe now sees every other tribe.
 
The Light exposes everyone, even him that operates by the power of darkness. I wonder how we would look at the position of leadership if voters abstained from their offering their opinion, and the next to come to power only did so by 4 or 5 votes. No one would be able to abstain, 77.3 million votes accounts for half of the population that casted their vote, so then about, what 76.7? million opinions were overridden by 2 percent and there's claim a record number of those who historically abstained, whetted their proverbial plume.

That is, those that otherwise normally didn't care which way it went, this time, cared as much to make sure that it did or didn't go as they suspected it might if they did or did not proceed differently than it had previously been habit... Now, to figure out if this is the light working or the darkness. :unsure: For sure, we will see.

#43/44 was the great divider. During his first meeting with the House, Obama listened and then his only response was, "I won."
