It certainly has strategic value. And the Danes with their silly environmentalism haven't even estimated its natural resources. There is a precedent: Denmark sold us the Virgin islands in 1916.

It's possible that a century from now, Trump will be remembered for two accomplishments: establishing Space Force and acquiring Greenland.

Trump's Green New Deal: President reportedly considering buying Greenland

Apparently today is National Tell a Joke Day. Sen. Klobuchar's entry:

The difference between Donald Trump and Greenland? Greenland is not for sale.

Following release of a Fox News poll showing him losing to four different leading Democratic candidates:

"Well, Fox has always given me -- I'll tell you, Fox is a lot different than it used to be, I can tell you that. ... Fox has changed. And my worst polls have always been from Fox. There's something going on at Fox, I'll tell you right now. And I'm not happy with it."

I'm eagerly waiting to hear the usual suspects here in the Bored start referring to Fox as "fake news" or perhaps get a bit fancier and call it "Faux news."

I promise not to do this to Greenland!

Interesting to read that such an intellectual thinks it's "fancy" to mispronounce a French word.

I kind of think there are a lot of people that are deliberately misleading political pollsters. I would. I am sick and tired of 'news' people reporting on polls like they mean anything important other than something to report on. I think trump has a lot more support than the polls says he has.

November next year is going to be such fun.

Couldn't agree more. Let's revisit this next November.

I think he has less. I think that face to face, people are saying they support Trump because they don't want to engage in a pitched battle with supporters who call non-supporters liars and ignorant and worse. I think that what they're thinking is entirely different, something like, "He lies and betrays me and my family, he doesn't know what he's doing, he's letting the Commies run over us, and I'll never again vote for him or anyone he supports."

I listened to the whole 2 1/2 minutes of trump's statement. I didn't just read this or any other article written by a reporter with an agenda that concentrated on the last paragraph of his statement. He spent the first part of his statement making a case for the last paragraph. Whether you agree with him or not, you are not going to get a fair analysis by reading articles like this. In this particular situation or any situation involving President trump. Before you get horrified, which is what this 'journalist' is intending, try actually judging for yourself by doing a little research on your own. You may still be horrified, but at least you will get both sides of the story, which you won't relying just on articles like this.

PS

Showing a fresh willingness to play politics along religious and racial lines,...

This article is presented as a 'news' report. Is this, the opening sentence of the 'report', (not to mention the headline) , anything that can be possibly construed as an objective statement? Would anyone with a fair mind consider that objective reporting? Any counter reference to what his opponents are doing? If you want to truly know what trump is referring to when he calls out 'Fake News', this is an example. Think about it. Extrapolate.

Except for the fact that Trump's campaign has admitted the tactics that they intend to use in the upcoming campaign, part of which is to single out "the squad" for criticism whenever possible.

But at least Trump's most recent comments indicate one reason for your adulation of him. Both of you seem to find it humorous to mock dark skinned female politicians with "funny sounding" names.

Maybe I'll catch one of them accidentally doing some critcal thinking for themselves if they're capable of it. I keep hoping.

He does have one point. There's nothing "fresh" about Donny's willingness to divide the country among racial or religious lines. A better word would have been "continued." --Bob

President Trump is the greatest President for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world, not just America, he is the best President for Israel in the history of the world and the Jewish people in Israel love him like he’s the King of Israel. They love him like he is the second coming of God. But American Jews don’t know him or like him. They don’t even know what they’re doing or saying anymore. It makes no sense! But that’s OK, if he keeps doing what he’s doing, he’s good for all Jews, Blacks, Gays, everyone. And importantly, he’s good for everyone in America who wants a job.”

Thank you to Wayne Allyn Root for the very nice words. Wow!

Wayne Allyn Root is a noted conspiracy theorist who has claimed that ISIS was responsible for the Las Vegas shootings and that George Soros was responsible for the Charlottesville violence. But, like Kim Jong-Un, he knows that the way to Donald Trump's heart is through flattery.

It is remarkably offensive for the "loyalty" of any American to be measured by support for any foreign country. And this very meme has been frequently used historically to question the loyalty of American Jews.

I really don't care how Donny wants to justify this. The loyalty of American Jews, just like the loyalty of any other American, is measured by our loyalty to America. Not to Israel, or to any other foreign country. To suggest otherwise is at least as bad as anything that Rep. Ilhan Omar ever said. And she, at least, had the grace to admit error and apologize.

Speaking of which, did you bother watching Rep. Omar's entire speech when you went after her for "some people did something"? Or did you uncritically assume that the usual right-wing sites had presented a "fair and balanced" account of the context of her words? --Bob

I admit I haven't heard the whole Trump statement. But here's the relevant part:

“Where has the Democratic party gone? Where have they gone, where they’re defending these two people [Omar and Tlaib] over the state of Israel? And I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.

The best spin you can put on this statement is that it means that Jews who vote Democratic are disloyal to Israel. That's an old anti-Semitic trope that's been used to smear American Jews since the State of Israel began. The idea being that Jews automatically have (or in Trump's case should have) a dual loyalty to Israel just because of their religion. That's akin to the slurs against Kennedy that as a Catholic he was loyal to the Pope instead of America.

And if Trump means that by voting Democratic, Jews are showing great disloyalty to the United States, that statement speaks for itself.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa- ... VB007?il=0

Maybe it isn’t Greenland.

ICYMI last night, I offered this theory about why Trump cancelled the Denmark visit scheduled for Sept 2-3. Former president Obama will follow him September 28. The contrast in the Danish public reception of the two men was likely to prove embarrassing.

Frum is a conservative pundit who’s no fan of either president.
