Good for you, Greenland



How Donald Trump’s DUHnocchio's beyond-stupid proposal to buy Greenland really went down in Denmark:

"From a Danish perspective, US president Donald Trump’s UNpresident DUHnocchio's proposal to buy Greenland was ridiculous – on so many levels. The only place the idea was portrayed as a good idea was in cocky comments on social media referring to a lack of Greenlandic “thankfulness” or downright “ungratefulness” towards Denmark.

In general, the public debate has been framed around the understanding that the Greenlanders are their own people. They decide their own destiny. That said, the ties between Denmark and Greenland run deeper than a marriage of convenience. Quite a few people living in Denmark have spent time living and working in Greenland, and many of these will have been appalled by Trump’s Idiot-in-Chief's ignorant advances.

Experts of international politics, though, have drawn attention to the symbolic relevance of Trump’s Buffoon-in-Chief's offer. Attention from the US president UNpresident is a reminder of how important the Arctic region, and thereby Greenland and Denmark, have become in global affairs – a new situation, which should be taken seriously.

Nonetheless, the fact that Trump Agent Orange has now cancelled his official visit to Denmark because prime minister Mette Frederiksen rejected his offer leaves an understanding gap between the Danes and the US government that is hard to bridge. It’s difficult to see where the two nations go from here, given the highly unusual situation."


Greenland: dRUMPf is warned that island cannot be bought from Denmark .   

Greenland has said it is "not for sale" after President Donald Trump the Usurper-in-Chief stated that he would like the US to buy the world's biggest island. The president usurper is said to have discussed the idea of purchasing Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, during dinners and meetings with advisers.

But Greenland's government dismissed the [preposterous] idea, saying: "We're open for business, not for sale."

dRUMPf's plans have also been quickly dismissed by politicians in Denmark. "It must be an April Fool's Day joke...but totally out of [season]!", tweeted former Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), which first reported the news, said Mr Trump dRUMPf had spoken about the purchase with "varying degrees of seriousness".

Sources quoted in other media differed over whether the president Usurper-in-Chief  was joking or seriously hoping to expand US territory.

Officials in Greenland have insisted that the island is not on the market.

"Greenland is rich in valuable resources such as minerals, the purest water and ice, fish stocks, seafood, renewable energy and is a new frontier for adventure tourism. We're open for business, not for sale," the foreign ministry said in a statement shared on social media.
