(12,448 posts)She's attractive, too. He's throwing a hissy fit because a real leader not only said "no" but called his suggestion "absurd." (Which it was.)
But it's not only a Twitter fit, it's an actual withdrawing from a planned visit.

Blue_true
(31,261 posts)All of us would be dead, along with every other animal species on earth. A monumental amount of force is required to stop a massive object moving at close to 67,000 miles per hour and spinning at close to 1,000 miles per hour. Living things wouldn't survive the application of that force.

The Velveteen Ocelot
(130,850 posts)It's not nearly as big as Greenland, but it does have a strategic location and some mineral resources. Norway could let Trump know that Svalbard isn't for sale; that way they could be sure Trump wouldn't want to visit them either.

People from other countries can spot an American from across the street, metro, cafe---so I wanted them to know even from afar.

Carla Sands is a chiropractor who went into acting, "best known for her work in Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell". She inherited $150 million from her real estate trader husband, then sucked up to Trump bigly from 2016 onwards, and was rewarded with the Danish ambassadorship in 2017. I hope she feels totally humiliated right now. She's stopped tweeting, anyway.

(130,850 posts)Trump has insulted and disrespected a long-time ally and charter member of NATO after having been invited to an official dinner by their head of state. It was pretty outrageous and is another indication of his complete contempt for other countries and their governments and it bears attention.

(17,861 posts)We already owe trillions and we add to the debt every year while giving tax cuts to people who don't need them. We can't afford to spend hundreds of billions on more land when we can't take care of the needs of our people. Besides, even if we bought the damned island, the Republicans would just give it away to the oil companies.
