White House Cancels Trump’s Visit to Denmark After Greenland Flap

Mycroft said:
Yes. It is the art of the deal.

Since there is no deal to be made with Denmark, there's no reason to go visit them. Trump will, instead, spend more time with Duda in Poland. Duda likes making deals.

Then why set up the visit BEFORE even mentioning that he wanted to buy Greenland?

At this point, if you're going to vote for Trump in 2020, you're basically telling the world you want a troll in the WH for 4 more years.

What's Duda got to sell? Is Trump on a shopping trip?

Trump is always on a shopping trip.

Whenever he travels, it's about making deals.

Don't know. I'm not privy to what goes on behind the scenes at the White House.

Maybe some "unnamed leaker" will come up with a story you like, eh?

And yet you believe the Greenland nonsense.....

My guess is that he wanted to play golf in Denmark and could not find a place to host him and his thugs. So he had to find an excuse not to go there and made this **** up.

Oh a small fact that has been ignored.

Trump was never invited to Denmark.

He "invited himself" by announcing he was coming about 2 months before it was to happen and now has cancelled it a week or so before it would happen.

Danish US relations has gone from warm to ice cold because of this stunt...

That is correct. The constant fake news tantrums and calling everyone a racist and sexist and Nazi deserves to be trolled.

Your guess is based on spin, speculation, innuendo, hyperbole...and a few lies.

But hey...whatever floats your boat.

You do realize that you're just revealing how small of person you are, each time you say something like that, correct?

He made an offer, I was respectfully dismissed and he did not follow through with it.

If all you have to say, is calling him mentally retarded, for doing something that was actually pretty sound of judgment.

Then you're the issue here, and not Trump.

He's mentally retarded because he actually thought this stood a snowball's chance in hell that it was the ONLY thing he wanted to meet an ally for.

FYI, this isn't the only thing he's done that marks him an incompetent president. Instead this is just a long list of stupid **** he's done.

What's the lie specifically? Are you saying Trump's golf trips don't cost anything?
 
NeverTrump said:
Trump is not getting greenland and is causing international incidents with one of the most peaceful countries on Earth.

"international incidents"???

LOL!!

Please...stop the hyperbole.

When a country speaks out about their country not being for sale and basically laughing at the President of this country, yeah, that's an international incident. One we haven't had with that country since the 1940s. Why is he poking around other countries anyway? I thought he was some great libertarian who'd stay out of other countries?

So...now you are saying that Frederiksen's actions are causing an international incident?

Hmmm...I didn't see it that way.

Trump is always trying to make deals with other countries that benefit the US. Heck, that's what he was elected to do.

There's nothing wrong with it.

What makes you think it's a dumb idea?

I've heard that Greenland has a lot of natural resources. It's never a dumb idea to try to get some control over that kind of thing. At the very least, it makes money...raises the GDP.

....The Prime Minister was able to save a great deal of expense and effort for both the United States and Denmark by being so direct. I thank her for that and look forward to rescheduling sometime in the future!

And...the guy shames the office every day he remains POTUS. It's complete BS to cancel a trip with a foreign ally because that ally said there would be no discussions about selling us part of that country.

My goodness, there is nothing you Trump people won't defend. Trump is conditioning a meeting on that person agreeing to sell off the country if Trump wants to buy it. In what reality is this normal or acceptable?

He didn't make an offer. And it's an absurd notion that in 2019 Denmark should entertain offers by the U.S. to buy up part of its territory, or that POTUS would condition a visit on doing so. It's insulting to the host nation, and embarrassing for the United States to demand such fealty before POTUS agreeing to meet with leaders of that country.

We're seriously in cult territory here. Whatever Trump does is defended by the members of the cult because Trump did it, and is therefore correct. That's the end of analysis. Amazing and frightening to watch this play out in real time.
