Trump: Denmark’s Prime Minister’s Comments Were ‘Nasty’ — You Can’t Treat the U.S. Like They Did Under Obama
Wednesday on the White House lawn before leaving for an event in Kentucky, President Donald Trump defended canceling his upcoming meeting with Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen because she said the idea of selling Greenland was “an absurd discussion.”
Trump said, “I looked forward to going, but I thought that the prime minister’s statement that it was absurd that it was an absurd ides was nasty. I thought it was an inappropriate statement. All she had to do is say we wouldn’t be interested. We can’t treat the United States the way they treated us under Obama. I thought it was a very not nice way of saying something.”

His ‘presser’ today was awesome!
More liberal heads exploding...
The Don doesn’t ask a second favor once he’s been refused the first, understood?
What did I miss?
All I thought they said was that Greenland wasn’t for sale.
I didn’t think Trump was serious about it in the first place anyway, but was the media covering up the nasty comments?
“His ‘presser’ today was awesome!”
One of his best. Rush is playing the soundbites.
“You Can’t Treat the U.S. Like They Did Under Obama” That’s all I needed to make it through hump day.
No she RUDELY said ABSURD.
The President pointed out that top dog in Denmark was insulting the USA.
And she was.
The Danish PM simply said a few days ago that Denmark selling Greenland to the US was “an absurd discussion”.
Seems as though some quiet back-channel talks were going on, the interest was made public, and that was the reaction from the current Danish Head of State. If that is how it went down, a very reasonable reaction by President Trump.
They’ll really explode if Trump goes nuclear and gives her a devastatingly accurate nickname.
Who was the jerk calling him “Mr. Trump” and shouting a non-stop barrage of DNC inspired goads?
The Donald today showed he is the pinnacle of Alpha Malehood
So the tonal inflections were key here. In any case I still love the “..like when obxxx was pres...”
Me too. Not sure how absurd “absurd” is. Was she scowling? Or was she chuckling when she said it. Was there something else said? If not, this may be a case of over reaction to the reaction. Makes me wonder what I missed and for what reason/game the President is playing this up.
You Betcha
Dear Denmark: You need us more than we need you. Act appropriately.
Don’t know how to cut & paste a photo to FR (it was at Wikipedia)— but she’s a hottie. Just sayin’.
Well, I was edified that they slighted Trump by saying we can’t be trusted like were under Obama, but was it “nasty”.... ? meh.
Still, I agree with your thought. Seems like there is more going on to this ‘drama’. Something we don’t know. t’all seems a bit showy
