We are learning about a disastrous phone call that took place recently between Donald Trump and Matt Frederiksen, the Prime Minister of Denmark.

Donald Trump re-emphasized that he wanted to conquer Greenland, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. He said he was serious, hand it over right now, to which the Prime Minister of Denmark said, no, it belongs to us, to which Donald Trump said, we'll see about that. Multiple people who were familiar with this phone call said it was an utter disaster, that Donald Trump was rude, that he was yelling, that he was trying to bully the prime minister of Denmark, that she stood her ground. But anybody who was on that phone call that thought, oh, this is some negotiation ploy by Donald Trump, they left that call saying, no, Donald Trump intends to try to use military force against Denmark. And Denmark and the European Union need to now prepare their military to try to counter whatever the hell Donald Trump thinks he's going to do this as Donald Trump has continued to reiterate that he wants to annex Canada, turn it into the 51st state, or else he will impose severe punishment on Canada.

Donald Trump has turned the entire world in just one quick week against the United States of America. America finds itself literally right now with zero friends. If you take a look at the World Health Organization map showing all of the nations that are part of the WHO, you'll see that the United States is the only nation. Maybe there's two others, Iran and one other, that are not part of the World Health Organization. And that basically sums up where America is in the world right now, alone, detested, despised as the entire world stands in unity, different alliances against the United States, whether you have a Russian-China alliance against

the U.S., whether you now have Canada, European Union, and other countries against the United States, whether you have South American unity against the United States, Latino immunity against the United States. What a disaster this is. Let's just take a look at this article. This one's, for example, from the Financial Times. Donald Trump in fiery call with Denmark's prime minister over Greenland, U.S. president insists he wants to take over the Arctic island. It said that Donald Trump insisted that this was serious. He wants to conquer Greenland. He had this phone call with Denmark's prime minister, Met Fredriksen. She's the Danish premier for the call lasted about 45 minutes. The White House has not commented on the call, but other people who were familiar with the call have described what went down.

Donald Trump said, I want it. She goes, okay, it's not for sale. And said, we understand that that's what you're interested in, but we're not giving it to you. It belongs to us. It's part of our kingdom. Five current and former senior European officials who have been briefed on the call said the conversation went awfully. They added that Trump had been aggressive, confrontational, and just outright rude following the Danish prime minister's comments that the island was not for sale despite her offer

of more cooperation on military bases and mineral exploitation. So the prime minister met Fredericks and she was trying to be nice. He said, look, we're always down to improve our alliances and to strengthen our relationships. But this is how people described it went after she said that, quote, it was horrendous, said one of the people. Another added, he was very firm. It was a cold shower before. It was hard to take it seriously, but I do think it's serious. I do think he is serious and potentially very dangerous. The details of the call are likely to deepen European concerns that Trump's return to power

will strain transatlantic ties more than ever as the U.S. president heaps pressure on allies to give up territory. I mean, do you realize even as I read that sentence, as he heaps pressure on allies to give up territory, who the hell does he think he is, this freaking treasonous? I mean, as I talk about it, Trump has asserted in his second term musing about potentially taking over Greenland, Panama and Canada. Great job, everybody in America who voted for this guy. You got your own Vladimir Putin, who is absolutely despised and hated by the world.

And by the way, we now have zero allies in the United States of America in one quick week. As our neighbors up north in Canada said, it feels like we're living above a meth lab is what they've told me. Many European officials had hoped his comments about seeking control of Greenland for national security reasons was a negotiating ploy to gain more influence over the NATO territory. Russia and China are both jostling for a position in the Arctic, but the call with Frederiksen had crushed hopes, deepening the foreign policy crisis between NATO allies.

The intent was very clear. They want it. The Danes are now in crisis mode, said one person briefed on the call. Another said the Danes are utterly freaked out by this. A former Danish official said, it was a very tough conversation. He threatened specific measures against Denmark, such as targeted tariffs. The Danish prime minister's office said it did not recognize the interpretation of the conversation given by anonymous sources. Greenland, home to just 57,000 people, is an entry point to new shipping routes gradually opening up through the Arctic. It also boasts abundant but hard to access minerals. Why are these ship routes now opening up around the Arctic? I don't know, maybe because of something called global warming as well.

Then it goes and says that Trump is demanding that he conquers it. He's threatening to take it over. Now, I want to share this with you. You've seen this clip but it's I think appropriate in this context right now here's how the people of Denmark are feeling this is uh Anders vitsian a Danish member of the European Parliament offering this blunt message to Donald Trump about his obsession to take over Greenland let's play it. Dear President Trump, listen very carefully. Greenland has been part of the Danish kingdom for 800 years.

And there was this moment where Fox visited Greenland and was shocked to discover that contrary to what they were told by Trump, most people on the island don't want to become part of the United States. Let's play it. And the hot topic here has been President-elect Trump's comments about buying this Danish territory. Take a listen.

A lot about Trump and also their opinion about Trump. I hate it. And basically, I don't know what he's aiming at. Me personally, I want to stick with Danish government. Well, most of the people that we talked with said that they did not support Trump's comments and found them offensive. But the MAGA Republicans in the House of Representatives and the Senate continued to say that this is our manifest destiny. America, we are predators is what they say.

I'm not making this up. This is, for example, Andy Ogles, MAGA Republican. He's the one who introduced the resolution or introduced a proposal to make Donald Trump a dictator for life within the first week and to amend the Constitution. He and other MAGA Republicans are out there saying this. America, they go, we are the dominant predator, so we need to impose ourselves over others. Just watch it. You recently introduced a bill. It gives President Trump the congressional authority to acquire Greenland. Tell us more about this. Well, you know, for some,

that may sound a little bit crazy, but actually the United States has been eyeing Greenland for over a hundred years. Strategically, when you look at it, it's wealthy in resources. I THINK THAT'S THE BIGGEST PROBLEM. I THINK THAT'S THE BIGGEST PROBLEM. WE'VE BEEN HANGING GREENLAND FOR OVER 100 YEARS. STRATEGICALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, IT'S WEALTHY IN RESOURCES AND WHEN YOU SEE INCREASED ACTIVITY WITH RUSSIA AND CHINA AND ARCTIC CIRCLE AND THE

INCREASED ACTIVITY WITH THE SHIPPING LANES, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE UNITED STATES TO INSERT ITSELF AND SAY, LOOK, THIS IS OUR DOORSTEP. THIS IS OUR AREA OF OPERATION AND WE ARE QUITE FRANKLY THE DOMINANT PREDATOR, COP IF YOU we are, quite frankly, the dominant predator, cop, if you will. But it's important that we fight back against China and send them back their own hemisphere. And just so you go, oh, well,

that's just, you're just showing me ogles, Ben. Show me someone else. Okay. Well, here is MAGA Republican Brandon Gill. And he says that the golden age of America means that it is our manifest destiny. We need to take over these nations. We need to acquire them. We need to own them. Here, play this clip. Yesterday, Trump was asked if he'd rule out using military force to get control of Greenland and the Panama Canal, and Trump would not rule that out. How would acquiring that land help everyday Americans better afford their day-to-day expenses? Well, first of all, Brianna, thanks for having me.

Really appreciate it. Listen, President Trump is bringing us into a golden age of America. This is the new manifest destiny, reacquiring the Panama Canal, acquiring Greenland, renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. This is the light of America expanding. You know, we have a very clear strategic interest geopolitically, both in Greenland and in the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal, as you know, was created with the blood, toil, tears and sweat of American citizens. We put an enormous amount of money into it.

I don't think we ever should have relinquished control of the Panama Canal. So President Trump- And by the way, while all of this is going on, America is already in a crisis domestically, massive labor shortages called by Donald Trump's mass deportation threats. Our egg supply right now is severely strained as a result of Donald Trump. Although Fox wants to say, oh, it's because of the bird flu. It's because of the bird flu. No, Donald Trump's in power now.

The same way you blamed everything on Biden when Biden actually improved the economy and got us out of the trash bin that Donald Trump created. You blamed every single thing on him. This is Trump's fault. All of this chaos is Trump's fault. Now we are alone, isolated, mocked by the world, laughed at by our enemies, looked on with horror and disgust by our allies.
