Greenland Official Reveals Finger-Flipping Welcome For Donald Trump Jr. (HuffPost)A member of Greenlands parliament has slammed Donald Trump Jr.s recent private visit to the autonomous Danish territory, which took place while his father, Donald Trump, heightened his rhetoric about the United States taking control of the island.
In an interview with Politico published Thursday, Pipaluk Lynge claimed the optics of the Trump scions trip two days earlier during which he was pictured with multiple residents wearing his dads red Make America Great Again hat were staged.
Local media reported that the MAGA caps were handed out just before the photos were taken.
No journalists were allowed to interview him, Lynge, a member of the ruling Inuit Ataqatigiit party (which wants independence for Greenland) told Politico. It was all staged to make it seem like we the Greenlandic people were MAGA and love to be a part of the USA.

They are not capable of doing the right thing.

have an Air Force base there. I wonder if the people of Greenland have the same healthcare
and other programs as the people in Denmark or does Denmark treat its territory like the USA does
ours?

The Gleiwitz Case reconstructs in detail the 1939 surprise attack by a Nazi unit on the radio station in Gleiwitz, a German town on the Polish border. This attack was blamed on Polish forces, thus served as Hitler's justification for marching into Poland and starting WWII. It shows how facts and opinions can be manipulated and how people are made to accept lies, murder and war.
