Summary

Donald Trump Jr. left Greenland Tuesday after less than a day, following failed efforts to promote his father’s interest in purchasing the territory.

Greenlandic and Danish officials reiterated that Greenland is “not for sale,” with Danish PM Mette Frederiksen citing strong local opposition to the idea.

Before departing, Trump Jr. accused Danish media of spreading “fake news” but claimed Greenlanders “love America and Trump.”

    Huh. So maybe a small crowd (dozens!) of paid shills isn’t enough to influence an entire country to support your bullshit. Who knew? Certainly not the Americans, anyway.

      It’s, in all likelihood, just continuing the ruse to distract the idiot media into ignoring the corrupt and unqualified cabinet picks. It’s working.

      Trump himself said that he’s valuing loyalty and obedience over competence this time. We can only hope the incompetence is sufficiently dire that not much gets done.

    Worst. Invasion. Evar.

    Let’s all celebrate the fact that he and his people were apparently able to find Greenland, though.

      Do we actually have proof he was there and didn’t end up at Greene Landscaping in Maryland?

    I have been watching Conan Without Borders and just coincidentally watched a 2019 episode where he goes to Greenland to arrange for its sale to the US. This was from the last time Trump was making noise about wanting Greenland during his first term.

    It was pretty funny. Needless to say the people of Greenland were less than jazzed about the prospect of joining the US.

    Wait, was this legit? Was that idiot foolish enough to travel with this purpose, and expect any other result?

      An article from yesterday said he claimed he was only going there for one day for podcast content, so him returning a day later isn’t surprising, the clickbait headline didn’t really need to call it “fleeing.” Government officials said there were no meetings planned or anything, so I doubt he was there in an official capacity. Just using his planned presence there to conveniently spout bullshit.

        Should someone tell him that there’s this neat new intention called “the world wide web” and that you can talk to people, and see on-demand titties, using it?

        E: “cousin! want to go bowling? what about some titties?”

          Better Off Dead. One of John Hughes earlier efforts, and still very quotable.

          Better Off Dead. One of the most quotable movies.

          “I can’t feel my face”

          “I want my two dollars”

          “It’s a shame when folks be throwing out a perfectly good white boy like that”

          “He put he testicles all over me” “tentacles… there’s a difference”

    And here I thought the official line was that he was there to record a podcast, and not to try and somehow buy Greenland for daddy. Or was that also fake news? Or was that fake news then but now real, because the other news that he’s trying to buy Greenland is now fake?

      Also, how many different ways can we record a podcast with people in other places without being there physically? Even the official story screams “publicity stunt”

      Nope, the podcast thing was just a cover story, trump was tweeting the whole time that “his agents” were in greenland

      It still is.

      But if they tell trumpets that someone loves trump and everything else is “fake news” they’ll believe trump over the actual people 10/10 times.
