Pew Research: “By a more than two-to-one margin, Americans oppose President Donald Trump’s proposal to take over Greenland from Danish control.”

“Overall, 58% of adults oppose a U.S. takeover of the island, 21% favor it and 20% say they are not sure.”

If Trump thought the entire nation was behind his greedy grab for Greenland, he would have invaded by now. If he hears about how many people oppose it, he will proceed anyway like the stubborn, cranky, brainless spoiled baby that he is.

Groups of dignitaries from Denmark and Minnesota starting talks would be great political theatre and likely more favorable in polls than Trump.

Maybe Denmark could donate an island off the coast of Greenland to house Trump when the trumpian nightmare is over?
