    Danish PM 'disappointed and surprised' by Trump's cancellation of visit after 'absurd' Greenland bid | Daily Mail Online[^] Trump: "Hey, lets buy Greenland!" Danish PM: "Dont be absurd!" Trump: "No one talks to the US under me that way!" Stomps his feet and cancels his state visit to Denmark. What a prat, really! Utterly pathetic.

    "Finally"? LOL He's been quite successfully doing that for 2 1/2 years! Another likely reason for the postponement is he doesn't want his trip compared to Obama's that happens a few weeks later.

    Frank Wilhoit: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” We never have had a president* so completely deserving of scorn and yet so small in the office that it almost seems a waste of time and energy to summon the requisite contempt

                      I don't mind, even with Trump as president, but then again I have had a canadian passport for only 15 years or so. Then I would move to Texas and buy a bible and a gun :)

                        He doesn't, necessarily. But it pokes China in the eye, since Greenland could supply all the rare earths China currently does. Kind of a 'See? No one really needs you, China.'

                              One or the other. Or even both. But I like it better if it's your version...China in secret negotiations with Denmark that get smashed when Denmark declares Greenland isn't for sale. :laugh:

                                      Autonomous, yes. Not entirely separated from Denmark, though. Not yet, anyway.

                                        Trump does strange, unexpected things during negotiations, which somehow lets him get his way in the end. I predict that, in the next few months, the U.S. will gain control of Greenland's natural resources and block other superpowers from doing the same. You can call it pathetic, but it seems to always work.
