Greenlanders Reject Trump With 85% Majority Against Joining US

[aceshigh@lemmy.world]

I hope they’re not forced to join us anyway…

[obviouslynotbanana@lemmy.world]

6% were in favor.

"Please, America. Take away our healthcare. Not just for us, but for our descendants!"

[x00z@lemmy.world]

Might be because Trump threatened them.

Interesting! I looked it up and the lizardman constant appears to be 4%; not too far from the 6% of Greenlanders in favor of selling their country.

The evil, detrimental shit he's actually doing is what should be taken seriously. Not this smokescreen bullshit that's meant to distract. And yet here we are going so far as to take polls for the daily slot it now has in every newscast....

For those who want to read longer, the original article in Berlingske is not paywalled:

Not everyone is a US citizen. One does not simply threaten 450 million people with war and then complain that we're counting our stealth subs.

[kreskin@lemmy.world]

I'm surprised it was that high.

[gnygnygny@lemm.ee]

Who are those 5% ?

[kreskin@lemmy.world]

So..why do you think its bullshit? Trump was talking about this last time so it doesnt seem like one of his usual distractions and lies. Seems like he actually wants to take it. Every once in a while one of his series of lies is true.

[grammarpolice@lemmy.world]

You mean 15%?

[obviouslynotbanana@lemmy.world]

It's basically little more than statistical noise at that point. You can always get 4% of people to agree to something.

[tbi@lemmy.world]

I’m surprised this actually went for a vote but good on the government for upholding democracy and giving people the chance to have their say.

[fuck_u_spez_in_particular@lemmy.world]

The only positive thing about Trump really is, that he's old, and with his lifestyle may not live that long anymore.

But even then, the damage he's already done, and does in the future may prove to be permanent for the foreseeable future...

[fuck_u_spez_in_particular@lemmy.world]

Almost every european state has the far-right cancer (to varying degree, but nowadays unfortunately often 2 percent digits), which AFAICS are pro-Trump. I don't think it's any different in Greenland...

[blackmist@feddit.uk]

Nuke Nuuk.

[spezi@feddit.org]

It was a poll, not a vote.

[panarab@lemm.ee]

I’m surprised that it wasn’t higher

[panarab@lemm.ee]

Imagine getting Eric or Don Jr as president
