Oh, they finally got the message?

The Second Lady had planned to visit the Danish territory this week alongside other senior US government figures in a visit that had been described as a “provocation” by Greenland’s acting head of government Mute Egede.
It was later announced that JD Vance would be joining his wife on the visit, which was set to come after months of the Trump administration voicing their desire to take over the territory.
Usha Vance had been set to spend several days in Greenland on a “cultural visit.”
However, changes were subsequently made to the trip, which the White House confirmed on Tuesday would only involve the Vances visiting the US Pituffik Space Base, on the north-western coast.
Now, Danish broadcaster TV2 has reported that part of Mrs Vance’s visit to the capital of Nuuk was cancelled after US representatives failed to find any locals who wanted to greet the Second Lady.
Seriously though, why would anyone think this was a good idea in the first place? First off, I didn’t even know the “Second Lady” really did anything like this kind of stuff at all, and secondly, why would locals care about someone who is essential a random foreigner coming to pave the way for chaos?
She’s not Princess Diana. Five years ago, her husband was a certified nobody and now they want to drum up flowers and cheers from locals in another country for the wife of someone who is a half-step from being just some random NPC?

Aye, took them long enough.

With the reluctance of the locals, they were Ushard it would go badly.

"I want your land. Now welcome me like a hero"
nobody want to welcome you
Who would've have thought.

Sucks to suck.

“Cultural visit” you mean junket? Honestly, I would love to go check out Pituffik, but I suspect she and I don’t have the same appreciation for the outdoors.

They're not getting the first lady to actually do anything.

This would have been the real power play. Greenland says they will roll out the red carpet and welcoming party of locals. On arrival, the locals are bears and the carpet isn't red. Yet.

"oh no, who put that coked up polar bear there?"

Elon’s doing plenty.

In fairness, the Second Lady has traditionally taken on various projects, although usually of a kids/education/health/humanitarian angle. Nancy Reagan was particularly well known for her various causes. Michelle Obama was advocating child literacy and healthy lifestyle I believe.
Not defending her at all, but I think it's important to keep our facts and histories straight.

It feels good to see fascists being treated appropriately.
