because they won't consider selling Greenland? This seems petty and I would find it insulting as a Dane.


Some people have zero concept of the process of negotiations.

In fact, I would say MOST people have zero concept of it.

This behavior by Trump is bizarre at best, and not an act of statesmanship. The request to buy Greenland was an off the wall position and it is not unreasonable for Denmark to say no as it has done before. To cancel a trip to a NATO ally which has had soldiers lose their lives supporting our efforts in the Middle East and abroad sends a temper tantrum signal that does not meet the standard of the leader of the free world.

Especially people who believe that there is a negotiation taking place with regard to Greenland.

Are our interests not the same as theirs? You don't think they should have some skin in the game? They are just doing it to help us out?
That would be stupid on their part.

frick Denmark. Who gives a shite if we cancel a meeting with them after they called out our president in public.

I say this as someone who routinely goes to Copenhagen to work with a business partner over there.

Denmark needs us, we don't need them. This is a simple business decision made by Trump and sorry if he hurt their 'feelings' by cancelling a goodwill meeting after their PM showed her TDS.

Greenland would be a perfect place for all these illegals to stay while awaiting their "asylum" hearing. Also has potential as a place to put the homeless and dangerous criminals. I'm starting to like the idea better.

i guess your memory only goes back 2 days

quote:

Frederiksen has specifically criticized Trump’s vision for the wall, among other things. After Trump won the Republican nomination in 2016, she said in a lengthy Facebook post that she found his ideas about building a wall to be “hateful,” saying a bridge would be better. “Donald Trump is both xenophobic and populist,” she wrote.

In a 2017 Q&A with the Danish newspaper Politiken, Frederiksen said she was “deeply” worried about Trump’s renouncement of international agreements. She called Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement a “serious setback.” She said she found it “peculiar” Trump was questioning the role of NATO. And she wished Trump would focus on “restoring confidence” in the United States as leader of the free world — as opposed to sending out unpredictable “weird tweets."


like i said, TDS.

Good try. But that’s not why he canceled unless you don’t believe his own words. It’s comical that you’re offended on his behalf when he’s just told he can’t buy Greenland. That’s it. Is he (or you) a mouse or a man? Like a child. Take his ball and go home.

If you find that insulting, then you're a pussy. I don't find any world leader postponing a non-vital trip to the US insulting for any reason. O. Angela Merkel doesn't want to visit D.C. because of tariff policy? I couldn't give a frick.
