      Its no surprise that Trump’s governance mirrors his lifelong personality… a narcissistic bully.

      It blows my mind that no world leaders understand how to deal with bullies.

      So tell him to fuck off. Stop bending the knee and giving half-baked opinions to the media. We all know this is ridiculous.

      „Blackmail“ is such a mild way of saying „demented on an global emergency level“

      „Blackmail“ is a really diplomatic choice of words.

      It’s actually a declaration of economic war. „Give me your land or I will punish you“, sounds like a war declaration to me.

      Its a shakedown designed to destabilize other alliances. For as long as Trump was talking Greenland it was „Everybody v. Trump“ but now he’s placed a burden directly onto everybody else: depending on who take the tariffs or side with Trump will create tension and in-fighting among the others. It weakens the stance even if the tariffs end up being a bluff. It also causes strain even if nothing happens with Greenland. This shakedown will have long-lasting repercussions unless the other nations stand together firmly.

      Because it’s exactly that. How 1/3 of the US population cannot see that is BEYOND ME.

      Kind of what happens when you cave to the very first demand of a blackmailer almost immediately they keep pushing for more.

      Extortion actually. Blackmail implies Trump has compromising info on Denmark, and I think it’s more likely to be the other way around.

      Time for folks in Europe with info on trump to release it.

      It’s extortion, not blackmail.

      Blackmail is when someone threatens to expose some info (e.g. nude photos) that they have on you unless you do something they want.

      trump doesn’t have any dirt on Denmark or Greenland or the EU to blackmail them with.
