Humpty Trumpty's Cracked Ego

The big news regarding Greenland is that it is melting, but that climate catastrophe has been overshadowed the past couple of weeks by a ridiculous discussion about the potential sale of the world’s largest island to the United States.  Granted, it has been a one-sided discussion with only Donald Trump and a few of his inner-circle sycophants promoting the notion, and the rest of the world just laughing it off as a part of Trump’s escalating dementia.   But Trump, being a bully with a limited intellect, has taken great offense at the public’s casual dismissal of his grandiose scheme to bring about the world’s greatest-ever real estate deal.

And Donald Trump is not about to sit around quietly and be scoffed at.

Trump had a trip to Denmark planned for two days in the first week of September, but he indefinitely postponed that trip earlier this week when Mette Fredeeriksen, the female Prime Minister of Denmark, said that Denmark had no interest in selling Greenland to the United States and referred to it as an “absurd” idea.  Trump, who never takes rejection well, responded that the prime minister’s statement had been “nasty” and that it had been some sort of insult to the United States – rather than an insult to him personally.

Donald Trump has a history of defaulting to the word “nasty” when referring to strong females.

So Trump’s take on the situation is that Denmark rebuffed the entire United States in a nasty manner over a real estate deal that he was organizing, and he therefore would punish the country of Denmark by indefinitely postponing his visit there.

But there may be more to the story than the prime minister’s cheek and Trump’s pique.

It turns out that another American president also has a trip planned to Denmark.  Barack Obama will be visiting there on September 28^th, and Trump, who is not popular in Europe, could have expected to suffer by comparison.  Trump would be likely to encounter protests and Baby Trump balloons on his arrival, while Obama’s arrival would be a much more jubilant event with far larger crowds.  And world news organizations would be certain to highlight the differences in enthusiasm and crowd size.

And the King of Israel would have a hard time dealing with that reality - sho he chose to stay home and avoid the embarrassment.

Lucky Denmark!
