Just saw an upsetting report on MSNBC from Greenland [View all]

The reporter asked a lady who is a member of the parliament there about Trump’s desire to acquire her country. The member said “Please don’t take us. We can come to an agreement the will be mutual beneficial to both our countries.”

That depressed the hell out of me. No way in hell should Greenland even consider making any deals with Trump, let along talk to that lunatic. 🥶
