Senate Democrat on Trump Greenland rhetoric: 'This is the president being an idiot' [View all]

Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) says President Trump is “being an idiot” by making forceful demands of Denmark, a NATO ally, to cede its control of Greenland to the United States, something Danish leaders have repeatedly shot down.

“This has nothing to do with actual security concerns. This is the president being an idiot, and he is really excited about the idea of taking this big piece of land that’s on a map, and he’s using any excuse to actually cover up this idiotic idea,” Gallego said Thursday on MS NOW.

Gallego is one of many Democrats to pan the idea of the Trump administration taking over Greenland, something the president has repeatedly endorsed, most recently when he declared Wednesday that anything other than the U.S. gaining control of the mineral-rich territory would be “unacceptable.”

“NATO becomes far more formidable and effective with Greenland in the hands of the UNITED STATES. Anything less than that is unacceptable,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

Trump is an idiot. His decline towards senility isn't helping. Still his sycophants jump whenever he tells them to.
