A guest on MSNBC wondered on air if anyone who goes to President Trump’s rallies could “point out Greenland on a map,” during a Friday appearance on MSNBC Live With Craig Melvin.
Tiffany Cross, the managing editor of The Beat, made the remarks in response to the Wall Street Journal’s Thursday report that Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in acquiring Greenland. Despite the president’s reported interest, Greenland’s foreign minister Ane Lone Bagger responded that the country is “not for sale.”
“I wonder, you know, this is something, you know, his supporters are like just blind followers of his, and I just wonder when this becomes a talking point of his on the campaign trail. Can anybody at the MAGA rally point out Greenland on a map?” she asked.
“I would be very interested and curious to see or tell us what kind of government Greenland is or who the indigenous people are — I highly doubt it,” Cross added.
Greenland is self-ruled, but they receive assistance from Copenhagen for economic support, defense and foreign policy.
