'Words you might understand': Danish pol reprimanded for shockingly blunt message to Trump [View all]

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.
