Summary
Fox News’s attempt to find support for Donald Trump in Greenland backfired, as most residents expressed disinterest in his proposals.
While one Trump supporter was found, the majority of Greenlanders interviewed criticized Trump’s comments and expressed a preference for remaining under Danish rule.
Despite these setbacks, Trump continues to advocate for acquiring Greenland, citing economic security concerns.
Some Greenlander needs to do a new version of this I’m not expecting any major changes to the format https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SHUWas-yQSw
The president-elect raved about his son’s trip on Truth Social, going as far as sharing a video of a Greenlander who praised him. That man, Timmy Zeeb, is a convicted smuggler who was sentenced to four years in prison after a 2019 drug bust, DR reported.
These apparent public support setbacks have not stopped Trump from flirting with a Greenland acquisition. When asked last week if he would rule out using military force to take the territory from the longtime U.S. ally Denmark (and the Panama Canal from Panama), he refused.
“No, I can’t assure you on either of those two,” Trump responded. “But I can say this, we need them for economic security.”
Thanks for not voting, shitheads! It’s going to be insanity and horror for a long time now. But at least we showed those Dems who weren’t sufficiently obeisant to the working classes! Yay!
Yeah not voting is the issue, it’s not the systemic flaws in the way we run campaigns and elections. No no, it’s everyone else. You couldn’t possibly have a hand in it because you voted right? Right?
Get this tattooed onto your brain: voters don’t owe the Democrats victory.
Bitching about voters and no-voters is a dead end. Stop pouting and make a plan to do something about it.
I think there’s value in demonstrating to the non-voter population what the consequences are. For the sake of education. Also, doing this does not preclude doing other things. I wrote this message, and then I’m going to go do some lobbying. There’s a few hours in a day
This offers no value other than catharsis, which is totally fine and acceptable, but non-voters aren’t hanging out in the comment sections of political forums.
I dunno, I saw lots of people in the comment sections leading up to the election that were quite vocal about not voting/voting 3rd party.
That might be because the DNC campaign brought on Liz Cheney and said nothing will fundamentally change. Those people you are referring to were voters, disenfranchised voters who could have maybe swayed, but now we are a the cope stage
I am.
Well, did MrL sway your political leanings for the last election here today?
I’m more addressing the attitude. Voter blaming is self-defeating, imo. I know that kind words usually read as sarcasm over the internet, but I mean it, good on you for getting out there and lobbying, I love to see it.
“Economic security concerns”
What a bullshit way of saying they have resources, and you think you should be able to steal them and get money.
That’s a smokescreen. Greenland houses an incredibly important NATO base that would he critical should Russia try to project force westward into Central Europe.
Just like the Panama Canal, whose sanctions are negatively impacting Russia, this is Trump doing his master’s dirty work.
I have to wonder, was that one “supporter” a plant. [email protected]
For the economic security of the world, the US should grant a 99 year lease to the Chinese, Hong Kong style to maintain a free port.
See how stupid it sounds? Fix yourself please, US.
Greenland houses an important NATO base that would be needed in a fight against Russia. This os why Trump wants Greenland
