Greenland’s leader doubled down on rejecting the idea of President Donald Trump purchasing the semi-autonomous Danish territory Tuesday.
Greenland Premiere Kim Kielsen told The Associated Press that Trump’s idea “is not something to joke about” during a meeting in Iceland of the Nordic government leaders Tuesday, echoing the Danish prime minister’s “absurd discussion” remarks the day before.
Kielsen made his latest remarks hours after the President tweeted an edited image of a gold Trump hotel plopped onto a Greenland village Monday night.

Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump is eyeing Greenland as a potential new addition to the U.S.
Danish officials, however, were less sold on the idea.
The AP notes that Trump, who is scheduled to visit Denmark next month, added that buying Greenland isn’t a priority of his administration.
President Poe’s Law. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish this administration from a parody of it.
Of course he doesn’t want to build a tower there, because what he wants to do is to give it to his buddies in the oil and minerals industries and let them dig and drill to their hearts content without having to deal with any regulations whatsoever.
Gee, one might draw the conclusion that Trump is an arrogant and foolish bully.
I prefer “blusterer” over “bully”, I think. Usually you can depend on a bully to eventually punch the nerd, not send his lackey to do it.
What a disgraceful simulation of a human being Trump is.
