Fake News.

Within the next 24 hours there will be a tweet storm of hate toward the Danish PM.

If l was Denmark, l will be thinking of abandoning NATO, why should l risk my countrymen to stupid endless emperorlist wars when one member treats me like shity begger.

Good for her

Aren't they lucky. That gives him more time to spend with his dictator buddies, Kim and Putin.

I'm sure he was hoping for a fasco-to-fasco with an immigrant-hating colleague, but lo & behold, Denmark is still Denmark and will remain so long after the USA is gone.

I dare him to find either Denmark or Greenland on a map.

If only the Danes/Vikings had never discovered America.

Thankfully, the USA has fixed terms for its presidents. Let's just ride out the Trump storm and mock him constantly until he leaves office where he will become a footnote in history. GreenlandIsNotForSale Greenland

Lucky Denmark

Trump's dick on sale... Bidders..start...

Pinched myself. Yep - I’m awake. Checked calendar. No it’s not April.

So a win for Denmark . Well played.

I am sitting in Berlin but I can still hear the huge sigh of relief coming from Denmark :-) Good for them :-)

The man is an idiot!

No greendland today Trumpy...

Wonder what her approval rating is now.

Denmark is better off without the stinking pile of tud

We're a day away from him 'ing Kerry Katona about buying Iceland.

The Danes are as bad as the Irish with the refusals to negotiate.

SouthPark

Typical behaviour of an Empire! Very arrogant ('give me this, or I will punish you'). Now, Denmark should think about to recall the lease contract of Airbase Thule. There is no basis to go on with it.

Bet he doesn’t even know where it is ?

This BuyGreenland thing is so VERY real TooImportant

Denmark threw parades for Knot-Z's -- of course they are annoyed with the United States.

The security to pay for this narcissistic and psychotic honey monster will be saved and the country will function normally. Dubya bush’s visit in 2005/6? was a complete circus.

It is something never done before 😉🤦🏻

Hes such a fanny.

A win-win for Denmark, then

He's the gift that keeps on giving.

😂😂😂🤮🤮🤮

The Danes despise this spoilt brat.

We live in the onion now.

He's postponing the meeting until he gets rid of Danish PM and will support a new PM who will sell Greenland to him. Welcome to Trumps world ...I'll get what I want by whatever means.

I can’t take this moron anymore

Just am excuse to put a tariff on pastries.

Lucky old Denmark.... Let's hope he takes a fancy to the Isle of Wight, then we can decline his offer and avoid any more of his stupid visits.

TAK very much 👍

Breaking

I love this quote from the Prime minister: Thankfully, the time where you buy and sell other countries and populations is over.

There will be partying in the streets of Copenhagen tonight. 🎊

So calm Denmark had a news event, congratulations! 😏 realDonaldTrump

Another Trump failure. Even Trump University failed.

Cancelled his visit? Lucky Denmark.

The Greenland purchase is not quite as absurd as it sounds. The US purchased the Danish West Indies (three islands) in 1917 for $25 millions. That is around $500 millions in today's money. The DWI became the US Virgin Islands.

Bet the Greenlanders are happy. Try to imagine living somewhere totally owned and run by Trump. Mind you they’d probably all get jobs with Twitter who would move there.

Lucky Denmark!

trump is showing more examples of mental health issue by the day. He really is a danger.

Bizarre that Trump thought Greenland was a golf course.

Denmark: do not let this nutter into your country. And check the silverware when he leaves.

What about the Isle of Wight? If we include fixtures and fittings we might get a few hundred million for it. Sold as seen of course......

You couldn't make it up. 😂

🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

The art of the deal 😂

HOFNSKIN realDonaldTrump is such a fecking baby. I bet he was a nightmarish child, a bit like that kid from The Omen.

LOL

Trump has normalised the ridiculous. Like seriously.

He could look at Iceland though.

Good for you Greenland. MAJOR crisis averted. Hope we do the same in 2020.

Usual toddler tantrum. Why am I not surprised.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

The Danish monarchy should give Greenland it's independence.

How very mature and statesmanlike of him.

Like a child 👶

Did the pay their NATO contribution? If not, just invade Greenland.

Yes yes yes!! realDonaldTrump ....

Trump is used to picking wives and hookers out of catalogs. Someone apparently slipped him an atlas by mistake.

So what does he want in exchange for a swift US-UK trade deal postt-Brexit? The Isle of Wight?

He tried to buy a sacred reserve in Mexico once Obviously ídem... Then... history has unfolded front of all Now again...

I wonder, How could the danish people find comfort,after such tragic news?

'Ugh, how do I get out of this trip to Denmark? I know, I'll make an idiotic suggestion and when it's rebuffed I'll throw a tantrum and cancel the trip.' - Trump, probably. No, wait. That suggests forethought rather than running-mouth idiocy, so it doesn't seem Trump's style.

Lover scorned.

For everyone's sake, I hope so. Trump

....and Denmark gives a huge sigh of relief, and everyone gets on with their lives. Wish we in the UK could, no such luck, we're stuck with the Boris 'n Trump shit-show for some time to come. Bleagh.

It seems that Denmark should discuss the proposal of Trump with Xi Jingping, China may pay more

This is what happens when the president has the geopolitical comprehension of a toddler with brain trauma.

What's the chances that soon it will be revealed that ISIS are hiding out on Greenland and the US needs to invade😆😅😂🤣

You won't get Greenland!

Lucky Danes

The american people need lebensraum

Is this a joke?

Considering the US debt, maybe someone can buy the US? Starting at $1 (one dollar)? :)

Thule is already an early warning base isn’t it? Greenland might be a testing of the waters by the President for the US? He will know the EU’s intentions now.👈

indiaknight I’m sure they’re terribly disappointed

It shows how dangerous and unpredictable Donald Trump is.

If I were the Greenlanders I would be nervous.. He (or another one like him) will be back.

indiaknight Lucky them.

If we'd told President Duck of the USA (realDonaldTrump) that the Isle of Wight wasn't for sale could we have avoided that awfully embarrassing state visit?

Loon.

Trump = Trash

morgfair PM be scared of Russia?

He can save the money for the NHS.

Scandinavia are pushing their luck.

Why don’t they sell? Common sell it to is now!

I think Trump cancels Denmark trip because golf.

strange times, strange 'leaders'

This headline makes it seem normal. It’s not normal. It’s screaming insanity! Almost like Johnson telling the EU that the answer to the backstop is for Dublin to follow UK standards after brexit. None of this is okay.

All he does is belittle and abuse world leaders. He could have walked away and said he was joking but he wasn't. To think he thinks he could circumvent the people of Greenland and go and ask Denmark shows how much of a racist he is and also how dangerous he really is THE RAT

mshugart22 He just is trying to bully again..stay strong Denmark!

Respects to the world! ✌✊❤😊🌎

WTF 🤔

When did Denmark conquer Greenland?

And the Denmark PM says,”whew, that was close”. Then they all celebrate!

Denmark and Greenland totally rock! In the US, we’ve been trying to get Trump to stay away for two years! Denmark Greenland TrumpCrimeSyndicate

Sure he cancelled it. But honestly, a shopping trip w/o shopping is just not a lot of fun.

And Denmark breathes a sigh of relief.

Give the baby a set of keys to play with. Do not give the baby a country to play with. Is that so hard?

Trump is out of his mind...... and does Trump think the Greenland ppl are for sale, and was Trump contemplating using Treasury funds for this sale. DNC

Congratulations MetteFrederiksen, you dodged a bullet there 😂

Me: auspol is so stupid right now. Trump: hold my beer.

Everybody Relax ... Trump is making plans for his retirement -- golf courses in Greenland and Trump towers in North Korea. He is just does not take rejections well.

Lucky Denmark. She won’t have to see his orange face

He just can’t take No from a woman.

Is US for sale?

Trump could always buy Epstein’s pedo island

What a baby 👶

Trump should have a sinking feeling his precious GreenlandFantasy was never going to happen.

Boy when Baby Drumpf doesn't get what he wants, he gets pissed! Even if they wanted to sell Greenland, we can't afford it!

*Trump calls Denmark PM* Trump: “Hey we still on for that visit?” PM: “to discuss climate change?” Trump: “no to discuss buying Greenland. I want to rename it Trumpland” PM: “But it’s not for sale...” Trump:

Big Baby Trump, pouting because he can't buy Greenland. Immature beyond imagining but WATCH he'll come up with some imaginary reason he cancelled that will 'save face' because he is sick that way. YES mentally sick.

Good for Denmark! Trump is an idiot. Sorry, world.

Trump is mentally ill.

😱

Purchase Greenland. RIGHT. Are you figuring out the paperwork for when you have to sell of the actual physical soil once you bankrupt the rest of the US economy?

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL this is definitely FAKE NEWS

Good for Denmark!

He also had said this proposed visit was not to discuss a Greenland transaction and now the visit is cancelled because there will be no such transaction. Let the spin begin!

Trump got taken in with some nonsense about buying Greenland, he hates the idea of being shown up as the numb-nut that he is. All his tweets and rhetoric since have been to try and turn the nonsense into some kind of real deal. Denmark didn't play the game.

Mind you, nobody would buy the USA.

Better for Greenland!!!

Just when you think he couldn’t do something more trumpy...there you go.

She's a dumb broad this passed up a great deal. Denmark is doing nothing with it. Fucking brilliant!

Wait a minute, so Trump was serious about purchasing Greenland? I thought this was a joke. Am I losing my mind? Please help me!

Imagine that you had been asleep the last 5 years and you woke up today and read this

As an American, I apologize for our President.

🤣🤣😫

Just another embarrassment in a never-ending stream from this tiny minded little man.

Thank you Denmark for standing up to this disgrace to the US.

The Onion might as well close up shop. We're living it here in the US. Please send help!

And the sound of massive cheers from the citizens of Denmark can be heard all the way in DC

Trump deserves credit for stamping the true face of American 21st century, carelessly endangering the cohesion of U.S. alliances through insults, and America First worldview that depicts longtime friends as rivals, is a recipe for hastening the undermine of America’s sovereignty.

There are rumours that Russia and Iran will be conducting Freedom of Navigation around the Greenland Sea as US builds artificial islands.

What a stable genius

I love that a woman told him to eff off. He hates powerful women so it’s doubly great.

And Denmark sighs in relief....

And we thought Bolsonaro was unbeatable

That is why he “wanted” to buy Greenland. So he could bow out of trip to Denmark when PM said “no”. She was reasonable he is 7 yrs old and mad.

What next...

Guardian wins the outrageous award.

Unrelated.
