Fox News Sends Reporter to Find MAGA in Greenland and It Majorly Backfires
www.thedailybeast.com
There was one die-hard Donald Trump fan who made his way to the Fox News cameras, however.

Summary

Fox News’s attempt to find support for Donald Trump in Greenland backfired, as most residents expressed disinterest in his proposals.

While one Trump supporter was found, the majority of Greenlanders interviewed criticized Trump’s comments and expressed a preference for remaining under Danish rule.

Despite these setbacks, Trump continues to advocate for acquiring Greenland, citing economic security concerns.

    The president-elect raved about his son’s trip on Truth Social, going as far as sharing a video of a Greenlander who praised him. That man, Timmy Zeeb, is a convicted smuggler who was sentenced to four years in prison after a 2019 drug bust, DR reported.

    These apparent public support setbacks have not stopped Trump from flirting with a Greenland acquisition. When asked last week if he would rule out using military force to take the territory from the longtime U.S. ally Denmark (and the Panama Canal from Panama), he refused.

    “No, I can’t assure you on either of those two,” Trump responded. “But I can say this, we need them for economic security.”

    Thanks for not voting, shitheads! It’s going to be insanity and horror for a long time now. But at least we showed those Dems who weren’t sufficiently obeisant to the working classes! Yay!

      Yep. All the sanctimonious jackasses are just so full of themselves. I bet most of them are not at risk in any way.

      Yeah not voting is the issue, it’s not the systemic flaws in the way we run campaigns and elections. No no, it’s everyone else. You couldn’t possibly have a hand in it because you voted right? Right?

          True as it may be, but when the majority don’t bother you’ve got to acknowledge something is up, reform is necessary.

          Agreed. Some people were disqualified and weren’t allowed to vote, I’m one of those people. Hence fundamentally flawed system and the pats on the back about voting are at best mastrabatory affirmations of congratulations.

            Well that sucks and I hope we can fix it so you can vote. It will be harder now that the cheaters are writing all the laws again but it wasn’t easy before and we did it.

                  No it’s an effect. Demoralized voters don’t vote because they don’t feel their vote matters and they’re not wrong. Like 50% of votes are in states where they’re meaningless.

                    Nope. If just an additional 1 out of every 15 people in Texas had voted for Harris, then Trump would have lost even Texas. The number of people in Texas who could have voted but did not vote far exceeds that number. The number of people in Texas who didn’t vote because they probably thought it wouldn’t matter was big enough to easily make the difference in who won the state. So even the state of Texas could have voted against Trump, if only enough people who could have voted actually did vote for Harris. And Texas is one of your “meaningless” states. Other states could have done this even more easily.
