Fox found the truth about Greenland

A Fox News reporter dispatched to Greenland’s capital city found that “most” of the residents it spoke to were not so keen on Donald Trump.

The network aired a live report Tuesday afternoon from Nuuk, where its London-based correspondent Alex Hogan made the revelation while standing outside in the frigid weather.

Hogan tracked down one MAGA superfan—who has also made his rounds in interviews with Danish media—who showed off his Trump merch like a t-shirt and pins. That man, Jørgen Boassen, called Greenland the “front door” to America and said it needs protecting from China and Russia.

Other residents of the Danish territory did not share his sentiment, it seems.

“Most other Greenlanders we spoke with quickly bashed Trump’s comments, calling them offensive,” Hogan reported.

After Don Jr and Charlie Kirk having gone there and claimed it MAGAland, I'm surprised they published the report.
Donald Trump Jr. traveled to Nuuk for a day trip with the right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk earlier this month to scout out the city and meet with residents. They left the territory with scores of photos where they posed with Greenlanders donning the signature red MAGA hat.

[...]

Pipaluk Lynge, from Greenland’s largest party and chair of the parliamentary foreign and security policy committee, told Politico that the younger Trump had pulled off a “stunt.” Local reports said most of the red MAGA hats included in photos were handed out by the Trump traveling party, and Denmark’s national radio station, DR, reported that some of those included in photos were homeless.

“No journalists were allowed to interview him,” said Lynge, referring to Don Jr. “It was all staged to make it seem like we—the Greenlandic people—were MAGA and love to be a part of the USA.”

The president-elect raved about his son’s trip on Truth Social, going as far as sharing a video of a Greenlander who praised him. That man, Timmy Zeeb, is a convicted smuggler who was sentenced to four years in prison after a 2019 drug bust, DR reported.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
