    Default Ex-Ambassador to DENMARK laughs at Trump's 'big real estate deal' to buy GREENLAND

    Oh well, what does he know, right?

    Former US ambassador to Denmark torches Trump’s Greenland plan on CNN: ‘I laughed until I cried’

    l






    Rufus Gifford, who previously served as the United States’ ambassador to Denmark under former President Barack Obama, told CNN’s John Berman that he can’t believe President Donald Trump really thinks he can buy Greenland.

    During a CNN interview Monday, Berman asked Gifford what his reaction was to the president publicly discussing his desire to do a “big” real estate deal with Denmark to buy Greenland.

    Gifford did not respond positively.

    Honestly, I saw the Wall Street Journal headline when I was bound for Copenhagen,” he said. “Like most people, I thought it was a joke. Reading more, it became confirmed. I shook my head, as I often say, many times as I’ve heard about Trump’s foreign policy decisions, I laughed until I cried.”

    Gifford said it was utterly bizarre that Trump would think Denmark would be eager to sell such a massive piece of territory to the U.S., and he said it did not speak well of how the president viewed a key ally in Europe....

    You know Trump was never serious.

    It was a total distraction to cool the heat on his racism, which was getting a lot of media attention.

    That's the way he operates.

    Just like when he caused the whole stir about the Hamilton Actors 'disrespecting his VP' to throw the media off the story about the Trump University settlement.

    Trump can move the capital to Nuuk. Trump is still talking about buying it and insiders say it has gone on awhile.

    NOPE, I disagree or the distrction is secondary. I wonder which of the BOYS (Trump's) did the research and 'recon' work at the same time he was floating this to the world? I think HE had an eye on a deal as TRUMP ORG. I'm really suspicious.

    Trump just humiliated his own son with an absurd tweet about Greenland

    President Donald Trump confirmed multiple reports this weekend when he said that he does, indeed, hope to buy Greenland and make it part of the United States.
    Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has said that the country, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, is “not for sale”: “Greenland belongs to Greenland.” Which should be the end of the story. Unfortunately, it’s not.

    On Monday, Trump sent the following tweet, apparently trying to quell suspicions that the president just regards Greenland as another place to expand his business empire:

    Donald J. Trump
    @realDonaldTrump

    I promise not to do this to Greenland!

    68.5K people are talking about this

    One problem with this message, though, is that Eric Trump — the president second eldest son who, along with Donald Trump Jr., is supposedly in charge of the Trump Organization — shared the image approvingly on Instagram about an hour earlier:

    Denmark sold us the Virgin Islands.

    The truth about Denmark and Scandinavia.
    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-a6720701.html
    It is fantastic in theory, except that, in Denmark, the quality of the free education and health care is substandard: They are way down on the PISA [Programme for International Student Assessment] educational rankings, have the lowest life expectancy in the region, and the highest rates of death from cancer. And there is broad consensus that the economic model of a public sector and welfare state on this scale is unsustainable. The Danes’ dirty secret is that its public sector has been propped up by — now dwindling — oil revenues. In Norway’s case, of course, it’s no secret.
    As Ive said elsewhere, they have money problems and a sale would start looking good to people paying the highest taxes in the world when it comes time to cut benefits or raise taxes.
