It would have been fitting if the racist orange pedo appointed David Duke instead.

Does MAGA understand that Greenlanders aren't white? Or that they don't speak English?

... Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lkke Rasmussen summoned the U.S. ambassador on Monday in response to President Donald Trump's announcement over the weekend naming Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry the special envoy to Greenland.

"We insist that everyone, including the U.S., must show respect for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark," Rasmussen said.

Greenland is a territory of Denmark, but controls its own government. Trump has discussed the possibility of annexing the island nation, saying the United States needs it for world security. ...

Lyrics excerpt ...
genius.com

...
With thirteen lovers I hid beneath the covers
Got staples in my hands for my time
With the radio low so the folks don't know
I proceed with my passion of crime...

And though somewhat obtuse, I've been told this abuse
Will more than likely make me go blind
But with a heart that's aching, it's a risk worth taking
'cause true love, they say, is so hard to find...

Why can't she see what she's doing to me
If that bandstand girl only was here
And I'm living the dream, getting lost on the screen
Doing Presley in front of the mirror...

Hanging around, getting high on the sounds
Of the ladies and electric guitars
Cross a double yellow line to who knows where
With six sets of glory a night in some bar
...


MSB is obscure. Rightfully so?

Even the area FM station that plays obscure songs has not yet played this tune.

Yet, back in the day, the area college FM stations were playing this tune.

Interesting.

"Dummkopf Trumpf: We need Greenland for national protection. They have a very small population ... They say that Denmark was there 300 years ago with a boat. Well, we were there with boats too I'm sure." x.com

'Well, we were there with boats too I'm sure."

Boaz, is this true? Did your ancestors stop at Greenland on the way over?

Does the US really need Greenland for security reasons?

"While some political figures have suggested acquisition, analysts generally agree that the U.S. can achieve its security objectives through existing defense agreements and strong diplomatic cooperation with Denmark, a fellow NATO member, without needing to own the territory itself."

When Vlad takes Denmark... and Norway and Finland and Poland ad infinitum, DJT can get a sweet deal for Greenland.

Does he not know the US is only 250 years old?

This is about as good as him saying the US and Italy have "shared cultural and political heritage" dating back back thousands of years.
