Summary

Danish politician Anders Vistisen harshly rejected Donald Trump’s proposal to make Greenland part of the U.S., calling it “an unacceptable attack on national sovereignty” and using profane language in the European Parliament.

Trump has claimed Greenland is essential for U.S. national security and hinted at using force or economic pressure.

Greenland’s Prime Minister and Denmark’s Prime Minister reaffirmed Greenland’s autonomy and dismissed the idea.

Trump’s renewed interest in Greenland echoes similar comments from his first term in 2019.

As an American, I concur.

Anders Vistisen is a moron and belongs to one of the most populistic Danish parties and he normally does not speak for Denmark in general.

He’s right about this though. Orange shit stain can fuck right off.

I agree with what is being said but not how it’s being said. Politics should be professional and tactful as it shows good leadership. To bring oneself down to such a level shows an uneven temper. Although reasonably frustrating, leadership should be leading by example.

I agree, but in some situations there are some people who are so full of themselves that they will take a ‘I politely decline’ as a ‘maybe, keep trying’. Trump, being a convicted rapist, is one of those people.

That’s why he grabs 'em by the pussy even when they don’t want him to.

You are correct but you’ve obviously not seen how Parliament is run in The UK. A bunch of whiney old men who were picked on in school calling each other names.

Trump is a bully and troll. If you make a well reasoned and professionally worded argument to someone like that they’ll twist the words and think you’re weak so they’ll bully you more.

This sort of response is absolutely the correct one.

Nah, in this case it’s ok. When a foreign country threatens invasion, it’s fine to cuss them out.

Trump couldn’t even buy a porn star, much more a big island.

You can paint orange a turd, still a turd.
