  1. Denmark’s main exports to the US are basically all medical related. Pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, vaccines, even blood and plasma…. Fuck em. Trump wants to try and bully Denmark into giving him Greenland, he can get fucked, then US voters can sit there wondering why their medical problems keep getting worse and worse.

  4. Every time Trump says tariff I get more convinced he has no idea how tariffs work.

    He DOES understand that tariffs disproportionately affect the importer and not the exporter, right? Unless your country has a large enough internal supply of whatever thing it is you are hitting with tariffs, the importer just going to have to swallow the cost of the tariff.

    Also, the US is like…5% of Denmark’s exports? A mild reduction of that due to tariffs….Denmark will basically not even feel it.

  6. He’s not even sworn into office yet and I’m already tired of him. Take me out of his demented group chat 😭

  7. Denmark is part of the EU, he cannot put tarifs on Denmark without getting into a trade war with the entire EU. Not that this wasn’t on the agenda already but just to underline how stupid the entire agenda is.

  8. I’m bored with Donald he says stuff just to say it and I doubt even he knows what any of it means.

  9. Another one of his tanTrumps.

    He already threatened the EU with tariffs. What is he going to do? Double tariffs on Denmark?

  10. Source, I studied Danish politics and policy in Copenhagen in college.

    Denmark has been a stalwart ally since WWII. For their tiny population they committed the most to Afghanistan after 9/11 and had a higher per capita casualty rate than the US, as they ASKED to be given combat missions. Meanwhile Germany asked for non combat roles.

    Denmark sees America as its big brother defending its interests from Russia and the big players in the EU that sometimes bully it.

    Just like in his own life, Trump is going to ripoff our friends and make them hate us.

  12. Americans will be very fat without the weight loss drugs made in Denmark. Jog on fatties, the only thing you’ll invade is Dunkin’ doughnuts.

  14. Wait till the rich fat Americans hear Trump is gonna put tariffs on their Ozempic

  15. Not exactly on topic, but is there a way to move the entire land mass of Canada and attach it to Europe? Like maybe we could trade spots with China and Russia. We can even throw in NK and Iran.

  16. I am curious, what would be a bridge too far for MAGA sycophants? All of Trump’s demented blathering, no matter how insane, or contrary to the interests of the people are always met with applause. Where is the line on this?

  19. Every day that passes I become increasingly embarrassed and ashamed of the country I call home. I will never understand what induced people to vote for this.

    What a woeful state of affairs.

  20. From Canada , welcome to the tariff club 🇨🇦

  22. That one guy was 1in from saving everyone including half of the US from having to deal with this absolute moron.

    Honestly don’t even think other countries would even have to worry. We would just end up in a civil war if it ever exceeded passed words. Which is ya know Chinas and Russias goal anyway

    Fuck you Trump.

  23. As a decent American who didn’t vote for this clown, I just want to say to the rest of the world, we’re really, really sorry for all this and for the next 4 years in general.

  25. Remember: Americans voted for this. All those reasons they’d give during the election? Cheaper groceries? Trans people in bathrooms? None of that will be touched by Trump with a 10ft pole. Time to distract them with some bullshit about 51st state(s). Bunch of suckers.

  27. Why is Trump antagonizing US allies? He seems to have a bigger issue with them than actual US hostiles. He’s been very cordial with Russia and barely attacks China, Iran and the likes with this much vigor but has been relentless on Greenland, Canada, Mexico & Panama. Elon recently targeted German & British politicians. What’s the endgame in all of this??

  29. It’s obviously just propaganda. Denmark is in the EU, he cannot impose tariffs on a single member lmao!

    Any unilateral tariff action by the US would need to target the EU as a whole, similar to how previous US-EU trade disputes (like the Boeing-Airbus case) involved tariffs on the entire EU rather than individual member states.

    Attempting to impose tariffs solely on Denmark would violate both WTO rules and the EU’s legal framework as a customs union.

  30. Wouldn’t that make Ozempic even more astronomically expensive for those fat asses?

  31. European leaders get off your asses and start governing for European citizens. Ban X and Facebook immediately stop propaganda spreading. Austria, German , France Holland stop empowering right wing nut jobs. I for one will not be subservient to Trump and Musk

  32. Trump: “Gimme dat! I want it! It’s MINE!!!”

    This is what we’re hearing right now.

  33. Trump threatens headlines are going to be happening on a daily basis soon. For 4 fucking years. Again. Thank you to all the fucking dumb asses who voted for this criminal piece of shit.

  34. What the fuck is wrong with this country and this fucking guy

  35. He’s not even president yet and he’s already trying to destabilize relations with allies and ruin The United State’s global reputation. Just like putin commanded him to…

  36. This old POS isn’t even in office yet! So looking forward to the morning when I’ll wake up and read Trump’s obituary.

  37. Every day I am more and more embarrassed to be an American

  39. I wonder what they are doing that they don’t want the public to know. I’m convinced the Gulf of Mexico and buying Canada and Greenland is just a smoke show to hide what they are actually doing

  41. The thinning ice is vital to the Arctic region shipping routes that Russia very much wants to control. Trump says it’s for the US, but we all know who pulls his strings.

    At the end of the day, it always comes back to Russia.
