Opinion: 'It’s tempting to slough all this off as just another example of the President’s pathological need for attention. With an administration that commits outrages by the hour, what matters Greenland? It matters a lot.'

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.We can only guess how many people sputtered in confusion and anger Tuesday night after U.S. President Donald Trumphe was cancelling his state visit to Denmark because its government refused to discuss the sale of Greenland.

Wednesday afternoon, the President told reporters that it was the tone of Ms. Frederiksen’s remarks, which he called “nasty” and “inappropriate,” that made him cancel the trip. Nonetheless, it’s tempting to slough all this off as just another example of the President’s pathological need for attention. With an administration that commits outrages by the hour, what matters Greenland?

As Mr. Trump offends one ally after another after another – calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “weak" and “dishonest” last year because he wouldn’t cave in NAFTA trade negotiations; questioning the importance of NATO; offending the Japanese and South Koreans while cozying up to North Korea – those allies must be wondering how much of this the Western alliance can take before the damage becomes too great.

Greenland! What the check is he going to March in and take over? Shades of WW 2. A complete idiot! But the other idea might Be to use Greenland for Military bases. Boy how close can one get to war! He may also invite The Russian army to join him.

To Americans that not even an embarrassment. This is what America is......this fuck can't even embarrass the USA anymore. What he does is now normal....the NEW NORMAL.

And absurd

🤷‍♂️

Oh get over it... He will get over it in a week.

Too bad he couldn't buy it. A haven for all the disenfranchised Democrats after they lose the next election. They could study climate change, burn moss for their fuel and go on eco-tours for Greenland sharks. Seriously, I think Trump wanted Greenland for a northern military base.

Total lunatic.

Watching Republicans be forced to act like it isn't an absolute idiotic suggestion was pretty funny though.

Trump promises not to build a Trump tower (like this) in GreenlandThe tweet came a day after he acknowledged he was ‘strategically’ interested in a deal but it’s not a top priority This is too stupid to be an actual news story - which is why no one at NatPo is willing to admit to authoring it. Alternate headline.... Trump makes hilarious joke, poking fun at himself. Of course., there’s only 55,000 people

Denmark 'surprised' as trump cancels tripU.S. President Trump has postponed a trip to Denmark after they made it clear they would not sell Greenland. NBC's Peter Alexander reports. 'When she said, 'How absurd!,' she wasn't talking to me, she was talking to the United States.' [No, she was talking to you] 'They can't treat the United States like that under me. (but it was okay under Obama)' [Why not Because you said so? Did it hurt your 'feeling'?] Idiot. maybe frightened of how big and furry their microphones are Trumps mad because he got turned down by a woman.
