      I understand that Donny is demented.

      Are the rest of his cronies demented too?

      They sound unhinged in every interview they give

      As if they are in a mania phase

      *“Bessent urged leaders in Davos not to show “reflexive anger” and “bitterness” and instead wait for Trump and listen to his argument as to why the US should own Greenland. “I think they’re going to be persuaded,” he added.“*

      Americans really don’t understand European politics or culture.

      One of the most stable countries on Earth, with the most stable economy, one of the best NATO allies, the country that controls entry to the Baltic sea, – irrelevant? Just because Trump decided so, on a whim?

      No, I say you are the one that’s irrelevant, sir.

      Bissent is the worst kind of sycophant. 

      I have never heard him say anything where he didn’t come across as a blithering idiot.

      Denmark „irrelevant“?!?
      Never bite the hand that feeds you. I’m talking about NovoNordisk. (Ozempic, insuline, etc.)

    6. Rosy_Josie on

      America is going to be grovelling and apologising for generations once this administration is brought to justice.

      Its was never about security for the US plutocracy. As stated, all security needs can be met within current frameworks. Denmark has stated multiple times that witgin current arrangements they can have as much a military presence as the US wants.

      The below points form a basis of a ‚money trail‘. As we all know Trump and co are all owned by the pursuit of cash.

      – Minerals – KoBold Metals, Critical Metals Corp

      – KoBold Metals – invested in by Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and hedge fund Andreesen Horowitz

      – Critical Metals Corp – backed by hedge fund formally ran by Howard Lutnick now Commerce secretary

      – Ken Howrey – former Paypal Mafia, now Ambassador to Denmark

      – Marc Andreesen – former Paypal Mafia, advocate for hyper plutocracy, named member of Andreesen Horowtiz, investor in Praxis

      – Peter Thiel – former Paypal Mafia, advocate for hyper plutocracy, investor in Praxis

      – Praxis – soverign netowrk, digital nation, city states without any regulation on developing technologies, „According to Plan“ Greenland X post

      – Greenland ‚Freedom City‘ – see Reuters

      – AI/Tech Deregulation – Trump’s push to get rid of guard rails for barely understood novel tech, pushed by the most of the above to bypass US or any other country regulations for the futile pursuit of infinite growth

      Think about how difficult it is to get active spies into positions in places like Russia, and it still happens. Now imagine how fucking insanely easy it would be to get spies into this American administration…

    10. Rootspam on

      Denmark suffered almost the same amout of losses per capita as the US in the war in Iraq. This us how the US treats their allies… All of these old bastards deserve a cell.

      I saw this online somewhere and it’s so accurate it’s uncanny: „*One of the most jarring things about adulthood is the realization of how many truly incompetent people are in the most important jobs. When I was a kid, I just assumed everyone „important“ was smart or they wouldn’t be important. Boy, was that fucking wrong.*“

    12. ManlyEmbrace on

      These people are just so awful. This has felt like a humiliation ritual for the USA.

    14. arcspectre17 on

      Why does maga not cry about scott besset being former business partners with George soros?

    15. FatFarter69 on

      Who needs enemies when you have allies like America?

      What a global embarrassment this administration is.

    17. Own-Branch-5137 on

      Trust takes decades to build up but now we see it can be eroded in 14 months. Regardless of who the next administration is US status among „allies“ will not recover for decades atleast.

    18. Top-Carob-5412 on

      What is wrong with these idiots??? How do we get out of this mess? There doesn’t seem to be a sane person anywhere in this administration.

    19. Eternal__damnation on

      Let’s see how irrelevant Denmark is when they stop shipping ozempic to the states.

    20. kombiwombi on

      Bessent doesn’t want European countries and companies to withdraw funds until the US takes military action, then the funds can simply be frozen.

      So he’ll say anything.

      Notice the background. His statement was to a closed audience at a lobbying location. To avoid laughter at these statements from being recorded.

    21. Lure14 on

      The more Bessent opens his mouth the more I am convinced the EU has to take a harsh stance. Depending on the audience he is either saying that Trumps gets away with his insanity so his doing is good for the Americans or that EU should let him get away with his newest bluff.

    23. elizabethunseelie on

      Why do they always talk about individual countries instead of recognising the EU is a unified block? I assume they know and this is just to placate the MAGA masses who are proudly ignorant? But if not the case I would like to know wtf they’re thinking.

    24. wihannez on

      Dude your country gets most of the insulin you use from Denmark. They really have a bunch of contest winners in US government do they? And the contest being stupid as fuck.

    26. Swimming_Cover_9686 on

      This does not bode well for the ratification of the EU-US trade deal that they are debating right now. They guys are so hubristic they will literally damage their country to get a rise out of being a bully.

    27. ChaosLord121 on

      Hey Congress, I think now would be a good time to do your fucking jobs and remove this shithead before he starts a war over his hurt ego.

    28. Zlimness on

      A daily reminder why EU and NATO are crucial for European countries. The US has zero respect for smaller countries.

    29. IL1keBigButts on

      Scumbags, all of them.

      History Will remember you for the traitors you are.

    32. professorbrainiac on

      They’re compromised by foreign influence to destroy the US led western bloc. First they divided the US internally, making americans hate each other. Now they’re aiming to destroy Nato through the same divisive principles. The American people and Congress need to act now.

    33. ChefHorror2177 on

      Conservatives always pounding their chests about American exceptionalism and yet there’s literally nothing exceptional about us. We’re far behind on a lot of things that would help us citizens compared to other advanced countries. Conservatives are just a bunch of obnoxious asshats holding us back

    34. SilenceBe on

      The arrogance of those Americans… saw the same in a BBC interview between a republican senator and minister from Greenland.

      My disdain for the U.S. used to be somewhat distant, but it’s reached a gut-level intensity. I’m at the point where I want to completely sever ties and launch a full boycott of everything they produce.
