    And I'm guessing that's pretty much all Trump was interested in discussing.

    He basically said "No? Ok. Thanks, talk to you later." Now people are on Twitter loosing it.

    I dunno, I don't see the big deal.

    What does this make those who vote for an "idiot"?

    Trump was on yet another ego trip. Ohhh, look at me what a big thinker deal maker I am. Look at me!, not that man behind the curtain. Watching Trump handle the presidency is like watching a painted mouse humping an elephant.

    Of course they can, they always do.

    Will it make any sense?

    Of course not.

    He should have kept the thought to himself. If Greenland IS for sale, then that would have been a different story. That said, he can't visit an ally for no other reason then trying a hostile takeover?

    Sure who needs those Denmarkians and their pastry. The best Danish pastry comes from small Jewish bakeries in NewYork City or actuall from Brooklyn.

    If he was serious, then cancelling the meeting is pretty silly. He meets with North Korea unconditionally.

    "If he is truly contemplating this, then this is final proof that he has gone mad," Soren Espersen, foreign affairs spokesman for the Danish People’s Party, told a local broadcaster, per Reuters. "The thought of Denmark selling 50,000 citizens to the United States is completely ridiculous."

    Lars Loekke Rasmussen, who served as Denmark's prime minister until June, commented on the reports on social media, tweeting: "It must be an April Fool's Day joke . . . out of season!"

    America’s population - 320 Million people
    Denmark’s population - 5.7 million

    2015 Denmark population 0.9% Muslim.

    2018 Denmark population 5.3% Muslim

    2018 Americas population 0.8% Muslim

    Now don’t you feel foolish comparing a country with 5.7 million to a country with 320 million,
    When actually more than 7 times more Muslims per population were in Denmark?

    Why don’t you go to Denmark and ask a few Christians what they think of the new Muslims.

    I don't see why Greenland would want to become a territory of the United States in the first place but I know that Nobody wants to be sold to Donald Trump. He does not have a reputation of following through on his promises or commitments or giving a damn about them so this was never a deal Trump could make. Not one word should have been whispered about this notion until Trump was out of office, and then you have to figure out how you sell it to us when we still have not paid for the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, and each citizen owes about 68,000 dollars as is, and we have yet to figure out how to pay for infrastructure etc. I think Americans can see higher priorities for their tax dollars before we ever begin to make a case to Greenlanders or Denmark.

    Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the US in 1917 for $25,000,000 in gold coins. We changed the name to the US Virgin Islands, and we bought the people as well as the land.

    Denmark is a member of NATO, and you're not going to meet with an alliance member because they won't sell you Greenland? Is this happening for real?

    What an absolute child Trump is. Utterly pathetic. How any of you can still support this toddler... what the hell is wrong with you? Does he have to start baying at the moon?

    Apart form that, we should be far more concerned by what this tweet tells us about Trumps mental state of mind. If we didn't know already.

    Rumors about Trumps mental disintegration are one thing.

    Facts of that disintegration are something completely different.

    upload_2019-8-21_4-48-0.png

    Trump contemplating buying Greenland, for real..??!! Nuts.

    Trump Refusing to meet the leader of another democratic nation because of it...??!! Nuts to the max.

    He IS insane! Or at best the re-incarnation of Hitler. Bad news in both cases.

    Same thinking here. I generally don’t bash Trump, but I think here he really crossed the line.
    This is actually an embarrassing moment for the whole country.

    Again, you don't know how Trump operates.

    He's not closing on the first pass.

    He's floating the idea, listening for responses. Watching.

    Later comes the deal, after some back and forth theatrics.

    All he did was float the idea.

    It certainly seems to preoccupy lefties.
