Summary

Donald Trump Jr. hosted a lunch in Nuuk, Greenland, attended by people wearing MAGA hats, some of whom were reportedly homeless individuals invited for free food.

Greenlandic hotel executive Jørgen Bay-Kastrup claimed many attendees were unaware of Trump Jr.'s identity.

The event occurred amid Trump’s push to acquire Greenland, despite repeated refusals from Denmark.

Locals reported MAGA-themed stunts, including $100 bill distributions by influencers.

    The only way they’d assist people suffering from homelessness.

    There’s a story in Danish news media about a preteen girl getting a 100 USD bill from the advance people. The dad got pissed, framed the bill and put it on the wall and donated its value to charity. The story concludes with a statement from the tax authorities, that the money must be reported as taxable income.

    IDK about you, but if people associated with a child molester’s son, working to further the child molester’s cause, had given my kids money, I’d be fucking furious.

    Here’s the problem though.

    Was it obvious the whole thing was staged? Yup. Just like the McDonald’s stunt from the summer and several others.

    Do the people it’s targeting know this? Nope. Because Fox News and the right wing media aren’t reporting on how fake it was. They just show a few clips and talk about how the people of Greenland really really want to be part of the US.

    And by the time the duplicity if fully reported on, the lemmings already believe it hook line and sinker.

      Yep, we’re on day 5? 6? Of hyper-anaylizing this event and finding inconsistencies and deceptive practices? Meanwhile his supporters have already forgotten this whole event. They’ve moved on and filed the whole thing away as yet more overwhelming proof that the people in Greenland love them and they are right about everything.

      First who gets the click drowns everything that follows. Because nobody has attention span to spare to read about Greenland the second time.

      Wonderful time to create alternative realities.

    And even with that fakery, they could only find 15 people.

    There are 600-800 homeless people in all of Greenland… For the people it concerns, it’s a great problem because of the cold climate, but it’s not a huge number of people. Why would they target this extremely small group? Any thoughts?

      Easily bought I presume. Giving free food is cheaper than handing out money to people who are in a better financial position.

        Money is payment. Food can be spun as kind-hearted. “I just bought them lunch; why are you being so mean about it?”

      A greater crowd in attendance, even if they’re there just for the food, lends an air of legitimacy.
      It’s all about appearances.

        Yeah how the fuck is this not self-apparant? Do people really need this explained to them?

          They’ll also make the populace… look like homeless people

        Yeah considering how butthurt Trump got about how few people showed up to his first inauguration and then spending so much effort trying to change the narrative, this is exactly it. No matter how hard he fails it’s important that it looks like a success to the idiots that voted him in and are eagerly waiting for egg prices to dip

      How is the reasoning here not self-apparant? It’s crazy to me that people need additional information to put two and two together here.

      Because they are clueless.

      In their tiny, pathetic, syphilitic minds, every country must have the same problems as the U.S. It’s inconceivable to these morons that Greenland wouldn’t actually have a large percentage of homeless people, because the U.S. does.

      The conversation probably quite literally went like this between two morons sitting in Mar a Lago:

      “Hey, let’s just get some homeless people to show up.”

      "Do they have homeless people in Greenland.

      “Of Course they do! Look around. They’re everywhere…” (Completely ignoring the fact that they’re not actually in Greenland.

    A lot of homeless people in greenland? I wouldn’t think it’s an environment conductive to living without Shelter.

        No, but when the climate is severe enough they don’t usually last long.
