Vance to accompany wife to Greenland amid backlash

[Tennessee Hillbilly]

Vice President Vance said he’s traveling to Greenland on Friday, a move that comes after the Trump administration provoked backlash from officials in Greenland and Denmark when it was announced that second lady Usha Vance would be heading there.

“There was so much excitement around Usha’s visit to Greenland this Friday, that I decided that I didn’t want her to have all that fun by herself, and so I’m going to join her,” Vance said in a video released Tuesday afternoon on the social platform X.

Officials in Denmark and Greenland have denounced the visits. Greenland Prime Minister Múte Bourup Egede called Waltz’s visit in particular “highly aggressive.” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called the U.S. delegation an “unacceptable pressure” and vowed resistance.

1. If I were Greenland, I would refuse to grant a visa.

Except, unfortunately, no visa is required for US citizens to visit Greenland.

4. Time for Greenland to pass a new law imo

[DENVERPOPS]

25. Greenland's

airport can refuse to allow a plane to land..............Much like the U.S. has done with planes from other countries.......

[raccoon]

54. I hope they do that. It would serve Trump and his minions right.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

53. Or how about no one is there to greet them when their airplane lands...

and then double bill them for fuel/tariff.

[Aviation Pro]

2. Who invited you, fuckstick?

I think nobody, couch fucker.

[CanonRay]

5. Greenland should arrest and deport them, after some time in lockup, of course.

[DENVERPOPS]

27. Lock them up

until they can provide proof of U.S. Citizenship......And even if they have a Birth Certificate, reject its legitimacy like Trump did with Obama.......

[Sneederbunk]

6. Enjoy the dogsled race and then git.

[displacedvermoter]

7. They think the entire world are as stupid as they are

trying to sell this bullshit. So much excitement, Jeezus..

[tulipsandroses]

8. So let me get this straight. trump is calling for the arrest of anyone that he says is " hostile" to the USA

Using that to go after protesters. But the " president' has been threatening to take over a nation, the VP and his wife are going there promoting his threats of takeover. Officials don't want them there. The Prime Minister says US officials have been aggressive... - Yeah I think this admin is the poster child of hostility.

[Diamond_Dog]

9. He doesn't understand what "excitement " means.

[sinkingfeeling]

10. Greenland should deny them entry based on their prior comments on the taking of Greenland by force.

[OrlandoDem2]

11. They will create a false flag situation. Do not be surprised if it happens.

[mountain grammy]

43. Yes, I'm worried about that.

[FirefighterJo]

51. My thoughts exactly

When I heard the news about the visit, 'Franz Ferdinand ' immediately popped up in my mind : the killed prince during a visit that sparked WW1.

[bluestarone]

12. None of Greenlands Gov. officials should even

Talk with them.

[AmericaUnderSiege]

13. Maybe an impromptu NATO summit where certain people aren't informed would be in order.

One where the theoretical topic of invoking Article 5 against the Russian-backed Trump regime is discussed openly.

[RainCaster]

14. He wants to hide from the Signal cluster fuck

He hopes that this shit will blow over if he goes and does something else that is quite stupid.

[Buddyzbuddy]

15. I guess he was worried she might defect.

[Rebl2]

17. Probably afraid

they would not let her back in the country.

[Rebl2]

16. Greenland

should not allow the plane to land.

[Chi67]

20. Yep

I was just gonna say the same thing.

[maxsolomon]

24. They'll be landing at our Pittufik "spacebase", more than likely.

I don't think Greenland can stop that.

It's just fucking weird to send a delegation without an invite. "Aggressive" is spot on.

[thomski64]

29. Putz-u-fuk spaceforce base??

[maxsolomon]

36. It's VERY far away from the capital, Nuuk.

Pittufik is across from Ellesmere Island, north of Baffin Bay. 900 miles north by air.

It's clowning.

[Skittles]

18. THIS IS WHAT A WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY LOOKS LIKE

FUCK THESE HYPOCRITES

[kacekwl]

19. They don't wsnt you

either dumb ass.

[Karasu]

21. Why the fuck is this still happening? The government made it clear they won't meet with them, so what exactly is the

point now, outside of a couple of fascists getting a taxpayer-subsidized Greenlandic vacation?

[niyad]

23. A show of force, intimidation, and "fuck your feelings".

[oysterpoint]

30. Praxis. That is why this is happening.

Vance, and his backer Thiel, along with several other tech-bros, want uninhabited, unused territory for the development of a "network state". It is fascist. They will not stop there. They will want something more independent, like a privatized charter state, and eventually, they will claim all of Greenland as theirs. Canada is obviously next, as they build their "technate". I wouldn't give them a square foot of land!

[Marthe48]

39. Welcome to DU

[Karasu]

41. While I think you nailed their actual goals, I have no idea why this trip is going ahead when the government

Last edited Wed Mar 26, 2025, 05:11 PM - Edit history (1)

has explicitly said they won't meet with them if they come. I don't know what they intend to gain by still going through with it under those circumstances.

[ShazzieB]

48. Does he maybe think he can make them look bad by acting all butthurt over the snub?

If so, go right ahead, JD. We'll all be here, laughing our asses off at you!

[BadgerKid]

56. Maybe looking for a weak link? n/t

[PortTack]

22. Hey maga...Greenland has a new red hat: Make America Go Away!

Greenland officials have already said they will NOT meet with these goons! Stay strong Greenland…the ppl of the free world, including most ppl in America are with you!

[kimbutgar]

26. I hope he is denied entry and the protesters keep him at the airport. !

[Blue Owl]

28. I hope there's lots of footage of him getting loudly "boooooooed"

[greatauntoftriplets]

31. He probably thinks they'll be greeted as conquering heroes.

[Diamond_Dog]

32. If there's "backlash" over her trip

Then him accompanying her makes it worse! They should all stay out!

[Paladin]

33. Vance is a worse liar than even I imagined him to be.

"...I didn't want her to have all that fun by herself..." Puh-leeeze...

[Zackzzzz]

34. I have a Request, When it's over

Could someone please give an expense total for the trip to Greenland and back.
I would like to know how much CASH we are "saving" in this horrible assault.
If someone can remember, would you give the total for Jr's surprise visit, as well. TY.

[Mysterian]

35. I predict Trump will pay actors to greet them and portray govt. officials

because Greenland ain't sending a dog catcher to meet those assholes.

[Botany]

37. How fast does spit freeze?

Shameful actions by Shameful people.

[Blue Full Moon]

38. Greenland needs to arrest them.

Keep them in detention for 2 weeks then send them back to the USA in chains.

[Polybius]

44. That's probably what Trump wants

Last edited Wed Mar 26, 2025, 01:10 AM - Edit history (1)

In his mind, that's the perfect excuse to attack.

[ShazzieB]

49. I agree, that would be a mistake.

Greenland should just ignore them. Let them land at that US military base, but don't allow them to go anywhere else. Don't even acknowledge them, just let them sit there till they get bored enough to fly back home with their tails between their legs!

[Marthe48]

40. Shades of Nixon

In 1958, v.p. Nixon went on a goodwill tour of South America. His motorcade was attacked by a mob in Caracas, Venezuela.

I think I'd laugh if shady and isha got pelted by snowballs.

[Gimpyknee]

42. There goes his chance for some quiet time with his sofa.

[Retrograde]

45. Another vacation?

Greenland doesn't want him in an official capacity - is he going to pay for his and his wife's expenses, as this appears to be a personal touristing visit? Unless he wants to claim that watching sled dog races is an official duty.

[EarnestPutz]

46. They should be greeted at the airport, not by the Territitorial Governor, nor.....

.....by the Minister of Tourism, nor even the Mayor of Nuuk. But by the courtesy shuttle from the Hilton Hotel.

[turbinetree]

47. I guess they didn't get the message stay the fuck away.........

you are allowed to land and stay at this Pituffik Space Base formerly Thule Air Base .
You cannot leave the base facilities................

[Figarosmom]

50. Its because the officials in Greenland

Said they would not meet with her. I guess he thinks that if he goes with her then they have to meet with them. Well, we will see. Unless it's an official visit why would they? And any protests or demonstrations planned won't stop just because he's there. In fact there will likely be more.

[HPM]

52. What part of "You're not welcome here" does Vance not understand?

If no one shows up to greet the couch fucker and Usha eventually they’ll leave. I’m surprised he’s still married to her. She’s clearly a DEI hire.

[CentralMass]

55. They should give them a tour of their finest garbage dump.

[Buddyzbuddy]

57. If I had all of this hate bearing down on me, I'd leave the country too.

And, it looks like he's going in defense of his wife. When in fact, she's providing him cover. You know like a beard, over your face.

[Ray Bruns]

58. "that I decided that I didn't want her to have all that fun by herself, and so I'm going to join her,"

It’s a dogsled race. How much fun could it be?
