Trump cancels Denmark trip after PM says Greenland isn't for sale* * *
Trumps abrupt cancellation of the visit came as a surprise, since the White House initially described the trip as unrelated to Trumps Greenland aspirations. He told reporters on Sunday, that, "we're going to Poland and then we may be going to Denmark -- not for this reason at all. But we're looking at it."
What a big baby.

He must be removed from office ASAP.

(115,813 posts)as a real estate developer will work: You call the other party's bluff by seeming to walk away and make them come to you, begging for the "deal." It's really the only tactic he knows.
Somehow I don't think it's ever going to work on Denmark. They just aren't gonna sell Greenland. Sorry, Spanky.

(13,571 posts)Students of "The Art Of The Deal" are saying this is exactly what he's trying.
But the scenario is not apt. Denmark has zero inclination to sell.
All phony. Indicative of some delusions. Severe delusions.

(5,420 posts)Surely?
But they are not laughing at you, they are laughing at Trump.
The rest of the world wishes the people of America well, and hope for a speedy recovery once this nightmare is over.
The harm Trump is doing has no long term effect, I assure you.
(But a 'Sorry, Trump made us do it' after he is gone wouldn't hurt.)

(115,813 posts)Erik the Red was exiled from Iceland in about 980, so he decided to explore the island to the west, Greenland. After exploring the godforsaken frozen wilderness for a bit, he named the island Greenland - notwithstanding its almost complete lack of anything green - in order to attract more settlers. Eventually Erik's colony died out.
