This seems like a great idea, actually.
Let other NATO members deploy semi-permanent forces there as well. Do it under the guise of Trump's excuse and call his bluff.
"Trump is worried about Russia and China taking Greenland? Fine. Now we're reinforcing it with NATO resources, shithead."
It can double as a training exercise.
