    The POTUS just put off a meeting with Denmark because they will not even discuss selling Greenland. Denmark never offered to sell Greenland so why would he throw a hissy fit and postpone this trip? In my opinion that is an irrational act.

    Buying Greenland is one of the few things that I agree with this character on.
    Ok let us open this up for comments.

    Can Trump fans explain this action by their hero? Will you defend husband action or should I say lack of actions.

    What do those of you who are not fans of Trump is this a rational act by the POTUS?

    Who of you are disappointed that the self styled negotiator appears too Chicken to go visit with the Great Danish people and convince their Lehman to sell us Greenland?

    He's a moron and probably thinks it will be like the movies and Denmark will all of a sudden "agree" to sell Greenland. Its completely asinine and embarrassing.

    Trump is a dick. He never even asked the people of Greenland if they wanted to be part of the US - he basically treated them like
    he would one of the women he buys. Trump is a dick.

    The art of the deal.

    The slow dance has started.

    Lefties will be triggered either way.

    He talks to the people who can make the deal.

    That would not be Greenlanders.

    Yup - I think the people of Greenland will take one look at how Trump treated Atlantic City and will tell him to **** off.

    The leader of Denmark just said it was Greenlanders who would make the decision. Trump is a dick. He treats people like he treats his wives ... like disposable waste.

    Denmark still has the final say and they are the ones who would be paid.

    Trump's pretty free with spending other people's money, isn't he. Just ask the people of Atlantic City.

    Its not true though-Denmark subsidizes them, and they can't do a thing without Denmarks approval.

    Well I got a bigger tax return, and he's not mandating Obamacare or transgender bathrooms so...

    However in light of your concern, I saw we cut democrat pet social programs to pay for it.

    Not all leaders treat their citizens like pieces of meat to throw to Trump. Why sell when you can make far more money through long term leases. Trump is a dick. The world knows it. They aren't going to believe Trump will honor any deal. He hasn't yet.

    Trump has been spending at a record pace. He didn't cut spending one dime.

    You got a bigger tax return because you want your grandkids to have to pay off Trump's debt and yours.

    Greenland will eventually get overtaken by Russia.

    And build a base there perhaps with the Chinese.

    Would that make you happy?

    Everything would be better that way, huh?

    Why else would he want to meet with Denmark? If they are not going to sell Greenland, why bother?

    If he did meet with them, Trump should have told them that they should have listened to him before becoming a Muslim nation.

    How is that working out for you Denmark?

    Trump could have gone to Greenland - shook a few hands, told the Greenlanders they were great people and ASKED if they
    would like to join the US. NO. He just blurts out he wants to BUY them and butt **** them without so much as a "please" or "thank you".
    The guy just screwed any chance of a deal actually happening buy treating the people of Greenland like a commodity.

    Trump is a dick.

    I'm a fiscal conservative who happens to think I don't have to treat my fellow citizens like dicks to be fiscally conscious.

    Because they are part of NATO and a trading partner, that's why. Because if they don't want to sell, then you still want to be first in line for long term mineral leases and military bases. Trump has done more harm to international relations than any previous President. He's a dick.
