Greenlanders Reject Trump With 85% Majority Against Joining US

[mspenguinette@lemmy.world]

Probably people who think there is a financial benefit to them if it were to happen

[tburkhol@lemmy.world]

OTOH, there's this theory among ...certain Americans... that you only need 3% in favor to stage a successful revolution. So, Greenland seems ripe for a little CIA drama.

[davidga@lemmy.world]

I'm shocked that it's that low.

[ramblingpanda@lemmynsfw.com]

The media in my country didn't hide that the USA are run by a lying idiot.

[ohstopyellingatme@lemmy.world]

Can we join Greenland instead? If they’re majority rejecting trump then they’re smarter than the majority of voters in the US.

[pubquiz@lemmy.world]

That only needed a 2-word headline.

[ohstopyellingatme@lemmy.world]

The fact that the US has a blithering idiot for a president needs to be taken very seriously.

[grue@lemmy.world]

Ah, so the headline is misleading in Trump's favor. Why am I not surprised?

[ufo64@lemmy.world]

Good odds Trump would fully deport the entire population.

Inuit are 89.7% of the population. So probably more like more like 89.8% will get deported. The 39 people there who are US citizens are probably okay tho

Maybe one day the people in the USA will reject the tumor called Donald Trump

I have neighbors that still think toadstools and warts come from toads.

[majorllama@lemmy.world]

Ehhhh that one is more forgivable in my opinion. Folk tales and the like tend to last longer just because people keep repeating it. Some of them as a joke.

The chocolate milk brown cow thing is a fundamental lack of logic and critical thinking.

[oce@jlai.lu]

Probably mostly to create engagement, and it worked.

[aceshigh@lemmy.world]

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

[obviouslynotbanana@lemmy.world]

6% were in favor.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

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

[x00z@lemmy.world]

Might be because Trump threatened them.

[iknowitwheniseeit@lemmynsfw.com]

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....
