President Donald Trump has abruptly cancelled his trip to Denmark — because the prime minister wouldn’t fork over Greenland.
Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time….

….The Prime Minister was able to save a great deal of expense and effort for both the United States and Denmark by being so direct. I thank her for that and look forward to rescheduling sometime in the future!

Lene Balleby, spokesperson for the Danish royal house, told the BBC that the cancellation was “definitely a surprise.”
Greenland’s foreign minister Ane Lone Bagger had tersely dismissed Trump’s interest in the territory last week, saying that “we are open for business, but we’re not for sale.”
I’m sure the Greenlanders know just how narrow their escape was.
Lucky them.
I am sure the Danish are both relieved and gratified that they do not need to host Donnie two scoops.
A guest that insists on trying to buy your home out from underneath you, well it is really awkward.
There’s something rotten in the state of donnie’s brain.
