COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Widespread anger over the Trump administration’s push for U.S. ownership of Greenland is prompting shoppers in Denmark to boycott American products and services such as Tesla, Netflix and Coca-Cola.

Supermarkets are making homegrown products more visible, cellphone apps are helping consumers work out where their purchases originate from, and Facebook groups have been set up offering tips on how to avoid American goods and services.

Among them, “Boykot Varer Fra USA” or “Boycott goods from the USA,” which has gained almost 93,000 members since it was set last month to protest President Donald Trump’s repeated suggestions that the United States should take over the Arctic territory.

“We love the U.S. and the culture, but we just dislike the president,” one of the group’s co-administrators, Bo Albertus, told NBC News in a telephone interview Saturday. He added that the Trump’s treatment of Greenland, which is part of Denmark, and has “a set of values that we do not share with Trump” was inspiring people to join the group, which has a crushed Coca-Cola can as its main image.

[Faux pas]

1. Kicking

our businesses in their wallets and who can blame them? Not me!

[Wingus Dingus]

2. I think it's sweet and sad that they draw a distinction between Americans and Trump in their fear and anger--

I hope Greenland and Denmark prevail.

3. It proves that most Danish people are smarter than the majority of Americans

I think it's also true of most Europeans in general, they ALL know what's happening here in the US as well as other areas of the world.

4. If Trump goes to war with Denmark...

...then what happens to a company like Danfoss, who owns land and factories in the United States?

Do the US fascists take over the Danfoss' land and factories? Do they round up Danish people in the USA and send them to foreign jails? No trials, because that isn't what fascists do.

Donald Trump is a convicted felon and is Putin's puppet. He is also a rapist.

5. Distinguishing between North American people and US Foreign policy

When I worked in South America in the last century, the local folks I met there liked North Americans (always said 'norteamericanos' as they are Americans, too) and the values set forth in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence. The "Yankee go home" was a direct result of our foreign policies which belied our stated values.

8. Dump represents the worst Americans

The racists, the self-hating incels, the "proudly uneducated".

9. Trump denies Greenland's right to exist

10. Read an article today

In the Economist, a chart showed that Denmark spent the highest percentages of GNP on Ukrainian aid of any European nation.
Of course, that is no reason for Trump to appreciate them.
