Ask any of the trolls around Trump. Law, democracy, humanity,

... everything has a price.

beanjammin.bsky.social•140 days ago

Territorial expansion by the US is a threat that needs to be taken seriously. Trump's strongman heros are expanding the territory of their countries, he wants to do the same.

krichtercph.bsky.social•140 days ago

Imagine us surprised.

scottmaggelet.bsky.social•140 days ago

Just because Trump is interested in owning Greenland ... I wouldn't assume he is interested in 'buying' Greenland.

phoenixit.org•140 days ago

First it was the offer to Canada to be the 51st state. Now with the expansion I think we have a lot of other problems that really should take priority. Then again the reason he wants it is for the natural resources that would create profit for him.

raptured.bsky.social•140 days ago

Nothing to worry about... Donald Trump always says stupid shyte. Just trying to keep himself in the news.

aftertheice.bsky.social•140 days ago

That's generally true but, this time, I think that he's honestly interested.

raptured.bsky.social•140 days ago

Pretty sure he's just messing with Putin and Xi's heads. Like Putin floating the idea of taking Alaska back. Wonder what Putin would think of having the USA in their backyard? Again.

timpostie.bsky.social•140 days ago

The people of Alaska would never allow an occupation by Russia. Alaskans are probably the most heavily armed population in the world.

myspirit.bsky.social•140 days ago

I don't think the plan is to buy...

bdyguy.bsky.social•140 days ago

Ironically, Donald Trump is always for sale.

bmickey.bsky.social•140 days ago

Don’t listen to our idiot Mette. As bone spurs takes office, you do not want any connection to the U.S. To vote this ass into office, by definition, makes us a shameful people.

shaneoftheirish.bsky.social•140 days ago

tRump is a f’ing wannabe Vlad but reality he is a nonsense, a joke, a charlatan. A stain on the US but sadly one in which they elected knowing all to well his failings.

lifeinthepnw.bsky.social•140 days ago

An article from another source reported a few Greenlanders were complaining about how Denmark was treating them and wanted to break away. If Trump uses this as an excuse for any kind of economic or military attack, he’s following the same script as Putin, who claimed Ukrainians wanted to break away.

barak-har-elkin.bsky.social•140 days ago

We have millions of people who feel that way in the USA -- they're called The Deep South.

lifeinthepnw.bsky.social•140 days ago

They can leave with my good will, but I wouldn’t support another country invading to claim them.

beanjammin.bsky.social•140 days ago

There were 5th columnists ready for Trump's 51st State comments to try and create a narrative like what you are suggesting. This is a former Canadian conservative party leader. This appears to me to have been planned.

mattadas.bsky.social•140 days ago

But what if he throws in some golden sneakers?

paxorbis.bsky.social•140 days ago

As at least 28 women can attest, he will not take NO as an answer.

sumguycincy.bsky.social•140 days ago

Does anyone remember this from his first term? Almost the same headline! Seriously stop giving him attention for stupid shit. He is doing this to take heat off of his cabinet picks. Good grief!

dana808.bsky.social•140 days ago

👍

mhco.bsky.social•140 days ago

I remember except he had sane people around him before to keep him in check.

sumguycincy.bsky.social•140 days ago

pcoggins.bsky.social•140 days ago

The fact they are even having to discuss it is absurd.

We’ve got a long 4 years ahead of us

guilfordgirl.bsky.social•140 days ago

Pity people have to respond - in an adult-like manner - to a narcissistic farce.

kalegardener.bsky.social•140 days ago

Buying?

hirider750.bsky.social•140 days ago

The media is forced to cover this, but they should frame it as the ramblings of a toddler and not a legitimate concern.

raylh.bsky.social•139 days ago

Relax Greenland (Panama and Canada, too).
They're just shiny objects for the obedient Media to stare at.
Meanwhile, behind the curtain, the American Oligarchs are preparing more tax cuts and deregulations for themselves. Same playbook from 2016-2020. It's why they tolerate this defective person.

nancygerlach.bsky.social•140 days ago

So TELL JUNIOR to leave. NOW.

peregrinamom-sandy.bsky.social•140 days ago

The Prime Minister of Denmark is way above Trump. Trump, even as president elect, is not worthy of a response to his stupidity. Trump is only worthy of pity for being a sorry excuse of a man.

purpcheck.bsky.social•140 days ago

I choose disdain, loathing, and disgust. Pity isn't nearly strong enough.

lauravescovi.bsky.social•140 days ago

Trump would take the island knowing how he works!

hicksgoblue.bsky.social•140 days ago

However, the PM did state that, in the end, it is the Greenlanders’ decision and we are only talking about roughly 60k people?? Could Denmark block this if they are self-governing? Who actually owns the land??

aftertheice.bsky.social•140 days ago

Yes, I think Denmark could block this. Their Parliament would have to approve and they've shown no interest in negotiations for a possible sale.

jencarole.bsky.social•140 days ago

Greenland is really missing out here. We have fast food, swearing and guns. And while we pretend to like authoritarians, we loathe the police. We prioritize money over everything and only our God is actually Godding. We know. 🧐 And you’re WHITE!

How dare you decline all this glorious Americanism?!

lwoytkiw.bsky.social•140 days ago

Go Greenland...if only Canada would respond to the useful idiots trash talk. Big surprise the psychopath president elect can't maintain relationships....

lwoytkiw.bsky.social•140 days ago

Trump is truly an idiot and a useful one for Putin...Like the uncertified Present Musk...

elkoki.bsky.social•140 days ago

The 🤡 is a riot 😁

jjrad.bsky.social•140 days ago

It is all so embarrassing. #moronelect

woit.bsky.social•140 days ago

If it's for drilling, tell yourself that we will die even faster than expected, don't touch anything, you idiots!

sutherla.bsky.social•140 days ago

Does #Trump know the French still have St Pierre & Miquelon?

matchwolf.bsky.social•140 days ago

He doesn’t even know what that is LOL.

juliemainstreeter.bsky.social•140 days ago

Peddling the idea of purchasing Greenland is just an approach to rile up extremists within the population and create a movement advantageous to Trump over time. Kind of like when he started talking about President Obamas birth certificate.

lmoore6942.bsky.social•140 days ago

My god!!Trump is a stupid little man. He must stop making enemies of these countries

dana808.bsky.social•140 days ago

Remember this:

normdeploom.bsky.social•140 days ago

What needs attention is the fact that he refused to rule out taking it by force. They were never going to sell it. This shifts easily into a "he's lost his marbles" story. Want proof, look at his cabinet picks. Loony tunes.

dana808.bsky.social•140 days ago

This is what needs attention:

pyewhakket.bsky.social•140 days ago

If the US have any military there boot them out now or the next thing you’ll see is a massive import of arms and soldiers for ‘training’

joseph2482.bsky.social•140 days ago

#DNC
Stop talking about it:

He's only doing this to draw attention away from his disastrous Cabinet appointments. Let's talk about Hegseth's PTSD, Patel's vengeance, Pam Bondi's and Linda McMahon's incompetence.

Vote your best interests 2026!!!

mjcinwnc.bsky.social•140 days ago

I am so ashamed of being a citizen of what was a nation, now a mere puppet of Putin, led by the most evil crime family in American history. I apologize to the good people of Greenland and to Denmark.

beanjammin.bsky.social•140 days ago

It's what you do in this situation that counts.

iceblueaccent.bsky.social•140 days ago

Greenland, Panama, Canada and the UK need to prevent anyone with the name 'Trump' from setting foot in their country.

beaverhousen.bsky.social•140 days ago

He can't legally travel to 38 lucky countries as a felon. So, at least there's that.

jacqualine115.bsky.social•140 days ago

They are lucky. If I was the PM of Greenland, I would have considered it an act of aggression to bring Charlie Kirk and would have shot them out of the sky.

lawlesssouls.bsky.social•140 days ago

Duhhhh.

sword153.bsky.social•140 days ago

Not really breaking is it 😅 like this was even remotely possible.

pianofret96.bsky.social•140 days ago

Good

Red Herring

achirico.bsky.social•140 days ago

Hopefully Danes tell the Felon to F—off.

douwekorff.bsky.social•140 days ago

I’d like to hear the view of Greenland’s leader Egede, and of its people in “the island’s upcoming parliamentary election in April.”

m666max.bsky.social•140 days ago

I’m guessing those voices in Frumpy Trumpy’s head are saying, ‘there’s oil under Greenland and it should be all yours!’ He must see a buck or two in having Greenland for himself or he wouldn’t bother. Mind you, he couldn’t find it on a map I reckon.

lindafromthenorth.bsky.social•140 days ago

No. This is Donald appeasing Musk to whom he is obligated, and Musk demanded this in order to please Putin to whom Musk is obligated.
America, you are no longer in charge of your country.
You were warned.

wonkypops.bsky.social•140 days ago

"Mr President, Greenland is just opposite Alaska, a few miles to the west."

coolaboola.bsky.social•140 days ago

If Greenland has oil then it may have to benefit from American freedom. Like it or not native Greenlanders may crave liberation. Uncle Sam may well deliver.🦅🦅🦅🦅

roydrunner.bsky.social•140 days ago

Aldrig! Knulle Trump, den orange sexförbrytaren. Sverige står med Danmark.

coolaboola.bsky.social•140 days ago

Don’t worry about the great orange barbarian. He is full of shit.

artshealinghearts.bsky.social•140 days ago

It's a distraction and you helping MAGA fascism and bigotry by creating retarded click bait headlines like this, is totally disgusting. Focus on the real stuff. Like the gate, bigotry, masogynistic, fake Christian, real fascism taking over! All for $$ DISGUSTED!

dallmark.bsky.social•140 days ago

Here in Denmark it sure doesn’t feel like a distraction. Its vile and gross, but to us its pretty serious. Four years with that man baby and his gang of retarded oligarchs. It’s a tragedy.

beanjammin.bsky.social•140 days ago

Seconding this from Canada. There's absolutely no way we can ignore territorial expansion threats. He's said it enough we know he's serious. World's biggest military. This will not go well.

roxieroller.bsky.social•140 days ago

Canada feels your pain. He wants our natural resources and Arctic passage

roddy13.bsky.social•140 days ago

Perhaps if US citizens stopped complaining about the amplification of his threats in European media (at least we still have some), and did something about their shitehole country, we'd listen to them.

artshealinghearts.bsky.social•140 days ago

It is and for many of us who know the truth, it's utterly terrifying. Most, are not rich or famous and can't just pack up and leave. I'm not Trans by choice, (whole other story,) but since I'm a target of the right, it's terrifying.

artshealinghearts.bsky.social•140 days ago

Stop giving the Trump crime family attention! They HATE being ignored more than anything. Unless you secretly love the gross MAGA drama. Which is always meant to deflect and exhaust. Pretty successfully I might add.

beanjammin.bsky.social•140 days ago

Trump's territorial expansion plans aren't something the intl community can reasonably ignore.

spudfromdublin.bsky.social•140 days ago

Yeah. We should just say nothing until the insane cretin actually invades somewhere. 🙄

zomboof.bsky.social•140 days ago

Neither is the Panama canal, Canada 🇨🇦 or Mexico

suebarrbrown.bsky.social•140 days ago

He’s a moron

staciegregory.bsky.social•140 days ago

This comments section is insane. You all want people to ignore actual news because you think we are giving him attention? Democracy dies when you look away. Everyone needs to be paying attention to every move, especially ones that involved expanding our borders in shady ways.

leatherguyd.bsky.social•140 days ago

Trump is deluded as usual

grigioskies.bsky.social•140 days ago

Mump is an international pariah. 🇪🇺
