President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis in the Oval Office of the White House, Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2019, in Washington.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says an upcoming trip to Denmark is on hold because its prime minister isn’t interested in selling Greenland to the U.S. Denmark owns Greenland. Trump recently floated the idea of buying the island but said as recently as Sunday it wasn’t a priority.Trump tweeted Tuesday that “based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time.”Trump was scheduled to depart at the end of August on a trip that included stops in Denmark and Poland.
Someone pointed out that Rump hates travelling/meetings and this was all a ploy (buying Greenland) to get out of going to Denmark. Anybody else, I would never believe it of, but with this diabolically, twisted person, it could easily be true.
Mutti ist anderer Meinung
It's clearly NOT FOR SALE..
Danemark is so lucky!
How can he find trillions to buy Greenland but there is no money for veterans infrastructure Medicare education and so on ?
Denmark is glad he stays far, far away.
What a dodo we have. The end can’t come soon enough. Not sure if I mean the end of this dumpster fire of an administration or the end of the world.
And this is the Prime Minister's response.
Nidhi Stop this nonsense Trump ! In these days no country buys another country's dependent state ! What's your agenda ! ?Found oil there or wanting to build golf clubs ?
Doesn't have time to talk to Denmark, but has plenty of time for Russia and North Korea... 🤨
I'm so happy for her. She didn't have to be around the creepy guy.
POTUS realDonaldTrump lack of capability 2 separate fiction & facts is incrisingly concerning.Greenland opens pandorabox of UnitedStates territory purchases from Spain & France & Russia & Mexico 4 very low adjusted amounts. 'Purchases' from nativeamericans Not incl
Liar. He was already going. POTUS is making it about real estate deal. Step 1 ✔. Step 6 ask about Faroe Islands. Step 5 leverage with Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. Read his book he is not that complicated.
Gee, Denmark, don’t be sad! You dodged a bullet!TrumpLies
Are you for real ?!?
Idiot!
Since Denmark has blatantly shot down his nonsense proposal so.....A win for Denmark!
I’m sure she is very upset about not getting to meet Trump
Can't get enough of this.
'I'm so disappointed that President Trump won't be visiting,' said no one in Denmark.
ap... not you, too. (slaps everyone's forehead.)
Denmark/Greenland should raise the rent on Thule AFB. Also, US must address decades of associated waste that may have been dumped without oversight. Will anyone investigate this?
May be cheaper to buy the triangle (Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador). No need for dangerous treks and bogus border crossings if they’re already US citizens.
Greenland has 50k citizens. Seems easier to just show up and win it over. Or does Greenland actually have border security and election safeguards like voter id requirements?
Comedy genius.
Considering the millions they lose each year on Greenland she seems short sighted
How about swapping countries 😝
Wow. Your move now Denmark.
Nidhi What an outlandish idea? realDonaldTrump work instead in keeping the US economy in the green with the looming recession!
TheOnion thenib trump's buying Greenland thing is completely hilarious! 🤣 The ball's in your court! Good Luck!
I think he is postponing because the PM is a women and she is likely to laugh in trump’s face. He knows he went too far from reality and does not want a strong women calling him on his childish idea. Vote out all GOP.
Wait why would anybody want to buy that frozen chunk of ice
Fucking awesome !
He’s such a baller
Is this a joke? I know he is, but it could be one of his wag the dog stunts to distract us from toddlers in cages. kalpenn NBCNightlyNews CBSEveningNews ABCWorldNews
Lmfao. She’s probably relieved 😅 now.
I'd rather have here invited him to bargain about the price. How about NINE -HUNDRED-BILLIONS plus PUERTO RICO: TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
And she doesn’t care.
Wow isn’t she lucky.
What?!?! I can't even.... this hurts my brain. HowIsThisReal
Mme. Frederiksen right about now.
So trump is throwing a fit because mean lady won’t give him what he wants? concentrationcamptrump TrumpIsAWhiteSupremacist TrumpBodyCount NRAOwnsTrump
Lol!!!!!! fakenews
Nidhi Well done Greenland
Trump is such a fool! All the crazy conspiracy theories being propagated are encouraged and many times started by this very sick man.
How much much more can that man do to prove he is inadequate to represent the USA ? This must embarrass most if not all people ffs!
Amen to that!!
She saved him another huge embarrassing moment.
Leak footage of the Danish government once they heard they dont have to meet with trump
Are you kidding me, everything's for sale. You just gotta hit the asking price.
There is NO proposed sale of Greenland. Trump is delusional
🤦♀️
Why should we meet with Denmark anyway? A weak link in Europe, has no significance to the USA Good call
realDonaldTrump ... It might be a good idea Spanky...
WhiteRoseVoice1 Buying Greenland is just another bs distraction.
How childish 🤡
Oh...and she's a woman.
And look at her smile
Lucky for her
Trump will be digging for dirt on Denmark.
“Absurd” idea from an absurd realDonaldTrump
Maybe he ought to just wait until he is out of office, and try again...😂
No, she's not interested in being bored to death by a dumb loud mouth like Trump.
The mark of a real putz.
The fact millions of people still support this lunatic is proof global warming is frying brains.
How are we going to tell our grandchildren about this? There is no way that they will believe it... “... and no one thought to stop him?”
I just. I mean. I um.
Here’s your shiny object....catch!
They must be laughing their heads off in Denmark 😳
LMAO. Best joke of the day. Where are his moronic kids.
How is this even up for discussion?
The Dunce is the dumbest president EVER! For a grown (old, not virile) man to actually vocalize such a stupid remark, is beyond comprehension. Ivanka needs to hurry back from vaca and rein him in before he makes an even bigger fool of himself. Is this his idea of humor?
sure, let Trump ruin this sort of beauty:
From Conan today! hahahaha 'So alright, Denmark, you want to play hardball? I'm ready to sweeten the deal,' O'Brien said. 'We could do a straight trade: Greenland for Florida.'
We evidently didn’t qualify.
People in the US now need Medicare (Full care-not insurance) free for all in the USA birth to death. Unconditional Basic Income of at least $35K/yr/adult for life. $15/hr national min wage, for ALL jobs. Free public Ed K-BA/BS.
GTFO 😳
Got a bit of a pout on does he?
realDonaldTrump seek help NOW 😆😆😆
Trump did not postponed any meeting, bc there wasn’t one to begin with. Denmark PM said “the difference between Denmark and trump is that Denmark is NOT for Sale !
Wait. This isn’t TheOnion? How is this not The Onion? 🥴
25A
Sanction them now!.....lmao
PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!!! ImpeachTrump
Because she made him look stupid. More than he already does.
Did you mean to write this like this was a serious proposal being considered.? This is part of the problem. Should say Trump is complete fu*king wackadoo.
takeyourballandgohome
This is so CHILDISH..... maybe GREENLAND is strategic to the interests of DENMARK? You can't armtwist a country like that! It's like blackmail.
Cry baby cry.
Excuse not to go and see protests. Everyone hates him.
That... cant be real right?
What a big embarrassing mess of a cry baby he is.
How much did the USA offer to buy Greenland out of interest
This is why Trump is a moron. His ego is so big that he actually thinks he can buy Greenland, and he even compares it to a real estate purchase (which it isn't) and then when his stupid idea gets rejected, he throws another temper tantrum and angrily Tweets like a little girl.
How stupid is he?
So sorry about who our President is, he is such a joke. I can't stop laughing after reading this.
🤣🤡we are the clown republic! congratulations everyone!
I’m sure she’s all torn up about it...
When I first heard this a few days ago I was hoping it was just a joke. I should’ve known by now it wasn’t.
oh I like her!! :-) yeah Trump doesn't deal well with rejection (or women for that matter!) realDonaldTrump genuinely thinks he is punishing her by not visiting :-) she is probably very relieved. America's reputation under Trump has been tarnished for good
He’s going to hang tough until the PM sees the mistake she is making ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
joshboak Without even trying she did herself a favor.
I'm sure she's perfectly okay with that. FU realDonaldTrump
WhAT? Trump may not get what he wants Come on man, fix Puerto Rico first. You could be a hero.
Hilarious.
Why the hell do we need to buy Greenland? It’s hardly livable
Smh
