Denmark Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said Monday he was “deeply angered” by convicted felon President Trump’s moronic appointment of scumbag Louisiana Gov Jeff Landry as “special envoy” to Greenland and that Rasmussen will be summoning the US ambassador to demand an explanation for the renewed angling to conquer the vast, frozen territory, CBS News reports.
Rasmussen said the move was “totally unacceptable” and that “As long as we have a kingdom in Denmark that consists of Denmark, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland, we cannot accept that there are those who undermine our sovereignty.” It’s not clear why the hell Trump thinks that Landry, a governor with no foreign policy experience and who already has a job, is the right person to fly to Greenland repeatedly during the winter to try and sell them on surrendering their sovereignty.
Yes, Trump is fucking stupid but it’s still impressive how he’s doing pretty much the exact opposite of what one would do if they really wanted to capitalize on what is theoretically a unique opportunity to expand American territorial claims peaceably and with the consent of Greenlanders.
