'Words you might understand': Danish pol reprimanded for shockingly blunt message to Trump

By Alexander Willis
Published January 20, 2026 11:02 AM ET

Danish lawmaker Anders Vistisen delivered a shockingly blunt message to President Donald Trump Tuesday while on the floor of the European Parliament — one that saw the lawmaker censured for his use of an expletive.

“Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President f--- off,” Vistisen said in a clip from the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, uploaded to social media on Tuesday and reported on by News 18.

Vistisen’s message comes amid Trump’s escalating threats to acquire Greenland, which include a new wave of tariffs on eight European nations, including Denmark, that oppose the move. Trump said the levies would increase and remain until Greenland comes under U.S. control.

It doesn't look like it was well covered at the time. More links pop up for recent mention than for 2025. It is also frustrating when reports by news organizations don't include a date.

I wouldn't expect msm in The United States of Extortion to cover this as it might hurt man baby's fefes.

And it is very frustrating when you search for something and media reports do not even include a date. To me that is basic reporting.

That said, highlighting this quote now with the proper date attribution, does point out how little headway has been made in a fight that never should have been started.

He did it twice. The recent video is a reiteration of the comments he made in January of last year.

I am going to delete my comments.

Also, apologies to marmar!

They should make it clear that he was reiterating his previous comments.

Thank you, Anders Vistisen!

Trump has gotten people to talk about Greenland and not the Epstein files. He gets angry when anyone brings up the Epstein files because he thinks that will all go away.

It's not as if Krasnov ever uttered the "F" word.

At least, not in the last 6 days.
