WASHINGTON/COPENHAGEN - President Donald Trump declared Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s dismissal of his idea to buy Greenland “nasty” and an affront to the United States on Wednesday, a day after shocking Danes by canceling a Copenhagen visit over the rebuff.
Former Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen called it “an April Fool’s Day joke” and Frederiksen called the idea “absurd.” Frederiksen, a center-left Social Democrat, said she learned of Trump’s decision “with regret and surprise”, given Denmark’s strong relations with Washington, but she repeated her opposition to any Greenland transaction.She stressed that Greenland’s premier, Kim Kielsen, had ruled out selling off the territory and “I obviously agree with him.”
“So has cancelled his visit to Denmark because there was no interest in discussing selling Greenland. Is this some sort of joke? Deeply insulting to the people of Greenland and Denmark,” tweeted former Prime Minister Helle Thorning Schmidt. “Everyone should know Greenland is not for sale,” Jensen said of the world’s largest island, where the United States has a military presence at the Thule Air Base under a U.S.-Danish treaty dating to 1951.
“It shows why we now more than ever should consider European Union countries as our closest allies. The man is unpredictable,” said Morten Ostergaard, leader of the Danish Social Liberal Party. “Reality surpasses imagination.”
Look foolish but dont want to appear foolish. That boat has sailed im afraid
Are you going to chew the same gum for the next month? The flavour is all gone.
Baby-man.
So so freaking embarrassing hahaha
And he doesn't stop there...
Big baby gets his feelings hurt by the use of the word absurd and cancels state visit is the definition of absurd.
Someone told him the ice was melting off the Worlds Largest Putting Green.
What an idiot how the human race is ....Europe had wars about tiny places.
She was offensive to all of America!
Poor titty boo boo Trumpy hates a strong women that states truth & facts. Did a strong women hurt his one & only feeling...lmao
For a country that is billions and billions behind in paying their fair share of NATO defense, they should not be talking nasty to the country that has been caring that load for many years. should be more grateful than that Denmark
No one puts the US of A in a corner
Buhu..! The Danish girl was mean... 😭 GoMette 🇩🇰 Is was an absurd suggestion. realDonaldTrump is absurd. Treating a country and it's people like a commodity is a disgrace. An absurd disgrace. And you know what? The Queen desided to have the party anyways. ❤👑🍾🇩🇰
The world takes offense to trump's incessant need for validation. That he clearly isn't qualified for.
US Ambassador to Denmark, Sands, was on the Trump Transition Finance Committee. Hence the job out of town.
Just shut up realDonaldTrump you talk too much! Maybe you were awarded as the most talkative when you were a gradeschool. Trashtalker blonde!
Danish people surely are crying and will miss him, hahahahahaha
Why not also trying to purchase the capital of Denmark: Oslo (🤣)...while he was on to it?
Schizophrenic.... but constant dishes out... afraid of a very strong woman as always it seems ...
Grow up will you!!
If Kashmir doesn't appear then curse your being a journalist

Snowflake POTUS45
Snowflake-in-Chief
Thinnest skin ever
Okay 😒
Ridiculous!!! Embarrassing.
And you know that because she said that OCD trump will now go on the hunt to find a way to buy Greenland. It will be so much fun to watch him unravel because of this.
Disband NATO.. The Europeans have no respect. They can pay for their own defense against enemies that don't exist
And from a woman no less...perhaps she didn't want to experience the famous Trump crotch grab.
Again?
Danish PM to Trump: 'Yeah okay as long as you chuck in Hawaii and Alaska' :)
Nuke Denmark
Absolutely Ridiculous
According to Trump they could have told no about the idea of selling the world largest islands that is Greenland. According to Trump the Danish Prime Minister's idea is absurd. While the Danish Prime Minister told that the idea of purchasing the autonomous islands is regretted..
Typical bully ... throw a punch and then when someone hits back cry victim. realDonaldTrump is a coward of the highest order.
realDonaldTrump should know he is the expert on offensiveness & not nice things to say.
HE WAS OFFENDED?!!!! HE WAS OFFENDED?!!! HE IS INSANE!!!! HE WAS OFFENDED.........GEEZ why the hell did he think they would 'sell' Greenland to his sorry ass ....that's just how insane this fool really is! incase you didn't already know ..👇
Todos los días que reviso las noticias para leer que nueva estupidez se le ocurrió a este señor, no me deja de sorprender que supera su nivel todos los días..
How much he is going to squeeze out of this Greenland saga? True U.S will never buy it! But what an attention stealer for Trump! I doubt it will ever end! No doubt he will gain more votes from stupid Democrats fighting like cats & dogs!
what a good president that US selected !
This is the next step in the scripted Russian/Republican set-up of pretending to be offended by rejections of a ridiculous offer as Trump creates an image of unpredictability and power before the G7 meeting. Trump used Denmark for the scenario to demand Russia's return to the G7.
I have news for you. That is not the only person realDonaldTrump has offended. How does Melanie put up with the stench of BS?
No todo es dólares, Donald,también hay orgullo por pertenecer y dignidad en libertad.
ridiculous
And, the Danes offended the US President by publicly calling the idea of buying Greenland 'absurd.' If you can dish it out you should be able to take it.
Poor little baby got his feelings hurt 😢 🙄
Translation: I'm a petulant manbaby and I hate it when people say 'no' to me, especially when the people in question are women and demonstrably of stronger character than me.
OFW.....we don't care.... Do you?
C'est le monde à l'envers. C'est lui qui porte atteinte à l'intégrité du Danemark en proposant le rachat d'une partie du territoire , et devant un refus c'est lui qui se sent offensé !
MAKE AMERICA SANE AGAIN (MASA)
He dishes out the hard candy - I like.
Emmm... This is some primo snowfalkery bullshit...
Not sure about the US, but up here in Europe that man is 100% joke.
what's so offensive about paying the rightful owners of the land the indigenous people rather than taking the land with military might which we could without any opposition seriously watch us you want to see offensive we can just take the land
I can only wish a journalist would challenge this peice of shit and word a question that would call him out on his golfing and put him on the spot!!
Questionably 'elected' racist, sexual predator, child torturer, sociopath clearly in the throes of dementia, expresses views that would land anyone less enabled by $$, foreign interests and corruption, in a padded cell.
This is what you come up with.
😂😂 he clearly thinks he is playing a game of monopoly
He'd be happy to mansplain it to her...
Trump, de orgulloso comprador de Groenlandia a ofendido......ahora se hace la víctima, ¿ víctima de qué ?.
Telegram crisis 2019
Who do you think u are, trumpet!!
Does he realize what he has done? Every country should now recognize that we have a moron running our country. He was elected by morons and we are an effing idiocracy. Whoever comes next after him will have a massive and possibly impossible cleanup job to do. We are lost.
How would it be taken if a country wanted to buy Hawaii!?🤔 We all know the answer to that, the Danish PM said it loud and clear.
Trump, who told the world that Africa's 54 Countries of 1,287,920,518 human souls were SHIT-HOLE COUNTRIES, now whines that 'She (PM Denmark) is not talking to me. She's talking to United States of America. You don’t talk to United States that way, at least under me.' C'mon!
Lock him up, lock him up, lock him up.
That's a real fucking big problem! We do have the overpopulation, the starving of billions, the social injustice, the pollution, the heavy conflicts in the Middle East, etc. And the president of the USA is complaining that Denmark was nasty to him. Oh dear God ...
😂
I can't take 4 more years of his nonsense.
Is Trump going to send Marines or impose tariffs? That guy is a bully.
Beauty and the Beast.
How does Melania stay with him? She has her citizenship.
Pres Trump said what Danish PM said about US buying Greenland was nasty. He didn’t call her nasty. FakeNewsMedia MAGA
