JD Vance's wife Usha wanted to go to Greenland and see the sights, catch a dog sled race, etc.
One small fly in the ointment, she wanted to have a meet and greet with a Greenlander household, and no one wanted to talk to her.
Not a single person.
Though there are not many people in Greenland, about 56,000, it is stunning just how uninterested anyone was to hang out with her:
It’s a good thing that the second lady’s trip to Greenland was canceled, because apparently nobody wanted her there.
U.S. representatives were reportedly seen knocking door-to-door in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, to ascertain just how Vance’s visit to the Nordic island would be received. The answer? Not well.
“The Americans’ charm offensive mission has failed,” reported TV 2 correspondent Jesper Steinmetz, adding that locals have completely cold-shouldered the Vance family’s prospective visit.
American representatives were seen walking around the city, canvassing residents to see if people would be interested in a visit from the vice president’s wife.
“They’ve gotten no, no, no, no, no, every single time,” Steinmetz said.
………
The Vance family’s travel plans to Greenland were, however, dropped. Instead, they will visit a U.S. space base on the island’s northwest coast later this week.
………
Greenland’s government said in a statement posted on Facebook Monday that it had “not extended any invitations for any visits, neither private nor official.”
They do not take kindly to Donald Trump's threats to annex (or perhaps invade) them.
All this because Trump doesn't understand how a Mercator Map works. (A Mercator projection grossly enlarges areas near the poles)
