President Donald Trump was confronted with the reality that most Americans don’t support his bizarre crusade to take control of Greenland but immediately shot down the news as “fake.”
Just 17 percent of respondents to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released this week approved of his efforts to annex Greenland, while 47 percent disapproved. Results of the poll, conducted over Monday and Tuesday this week, came out the same day the MAGA president doubled down on his demands after top officials from Denmark and Greenland met with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the White House.
But Trump dismissed the poll’s findings outright when asked about it in an interview with Reuters. He has instead ramped up his threats, insisting that “anything less” than full control of the Danish-owned territory is “unacceptable.” He’s framed the push as a national security matter, while also cryptically telling The New York Times that full acquisition of Greenland is “psychologically needed.”
