T-rump cancels visit with Denmark PM after she calls his 'Greenland' purchase absurd


T-rump has abruptly cancelled his visit to meet Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, saying there was no point to the trip after Frederiksen called the idea that the U.S. might buy Greenland from Denmark "absurd".

The September 2-3 visit was scheduled as part of his European trip. His Tweets on Tuesday confirmed the trip would be focused on his purchasing Greenland.

"Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time," Trump wrote.

"The Prime Minister was able to save a great deal of expense and effort for both the United States and Denmark by being so direct," he added. "I thank her for that and look forward to rescheduling sometime in the future!"

After the tweet, the White House clarified that the entire trip to Denmark had been scrapped, including a planned meeting with the Queen of Denmark.

"Greenland is not Danish. Greenland is Greenlandic. I persistently hope that this is not something that is seriously meant," Frederiksen told reporters before T-rump canceled the visit.

For their part, both Frederiksen and the Queen of Denmark were relieved they each didn't have to invest in "pussy shields" before T-rump's visit. They made it known not only is Greenland not up for 'grabs', but neither are their pussys.

Trump is a complete imbecile and an embarrassment to our country. The whole world is laughing at him. This is just one more reason why.

reply

The Danes, have been making plans for this visit for weeks. They aren't too happy about the last-minute cancellation, especially done via tweet, being the coward he is.

I guess no one explained to him that Denmark is an extremely important strategic partner, one that could help both the US and NATO expand their presence in the Arctic Circle. It also can influence its NATO neighbors across the Baltic Sea, the Baltic nations of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, which are increasingly nervous about Russia's assertiveness and Trump's isolationist policies.

Another black eye to America.

You do know that he's not the first president to consider buying Greenland, right? Her saying it was "absurd" is a rude snub. She could have simply said something like "I appreciate your interest, but it's not for sale".

If someone took an interest in you (lol) and approached you, would you tell them that their interest is absurd? Probably not (although you are rude). Most people would be polite in their response.

reply

She was being direct with reporters on a very sensitive issue to her country and her citizens. Why in the world do you have a problem with her being direct, and giving a direct answer?

reply

I don't know why I waste my time with you. If T-rump had said that to her, you'd be calling for his crucifixion.

reply

T-rump has said much, much worse to other Prime Ministers and Heads of State. You know this.

reply

Examples?

reply

Google is your friend. Start with Angela Merkel.

reply

How 'bout one of your ever present propaganda links?

reply

Again, Google is your friend. Start with Angela Merkel.

reply

As I thought. I can find nothing regarding him saying anything rude to her.

reply

Because you didn't look. You don't know how to search, so here's a few examples of what T-rump has said about Prime Ministers and Heads of State:

There you go cupcake, that should keep you busy for a while. Let me know if you need help understanding what transpired, as I know comprehension isn't your strong suit.

reply

You said, said TO. Sugarplum.

reply

By the way, none of that was even my point. People like you criticize T-rump because he has the balls to speak the truth and you get triggered by how he says it. Yet you applaud others when they do what you accuse him of and they are rude toward him. Typical Doggiedaddy hypocrisy.

reply

Show me one example where another foreign head of state proposed something ludicrous to T-rump, where he had every right to 'insult' them, by correctly calling their ludicrous idea 'absurd'.

reply

Google is your friend.

reply

Checked and came up with nothing. Why? Because nothing exists.

reply

He doesn't have any because there aren't any.

reply

Scaramucci and others who know Trump have said his mental condition is deteriorating. The president acts erratically and everyone thinks that is normal or are amused. Cancelling a diplomatic meeting with a strategic partner because you can't buy Greenland is not normal. The desire to buy a sovereign nation is not normal. A president calling politicians childish school grade names is not normal.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump is planning to invade Greenland and his cabinet is trying to talk him out of it.

reply

Trump was never serious about buying Greenland. Liberals are void of not only common sense, but humor!

More bullshit from LordBULLshit.

Says the user who posts crap everyday about insane Russia conspiracies.

You got me mixed up with a T-rump supporter.

reply

T-rump, T-rump, T-rump!! Weeeeee!! I'm Doggiedaddy and I'm 12!!! Looka MEEEEEEE!!

^^^^^^^^Another accurate representation of a T-rump supporter.^^^^^^^^^^

reply

Wow. Went over your little head.

reply

I'm glad Orange Head isn't going to Greenland. He would probably get lost. LOL

reply

They'd have to change the name to Orangeland...and that would be absurd.
