Summary
Fox News’s attempt to find support for Donald Trump in Greenland backfired, as most residents expressed disinterest in his proposals.
While one Trump supporter was found, the majority of Greenlanders interviewed criticized Trump’s comments and expressed a preference for remaining under Danish rule.
Despite these setbacks, Trump continues to advocate for acquiring Greenland, citing economic security concerns.
The media still doesn’t know how to deal with Trump. Part of it is deliberate, but a part of this is possible because he’s exploiting fundamental truths about political discourse - when the US president talks about acquiring, annexing, or conquering more territory, it is actually news. There’s no world in which it’s not news. Even if the intent is distraction.
