Mike Luckovich for August 22, 2019

Turns out Greenland was not for sale.

Coming from New York, I’m sure Trump can find a willing, nay eager, seller of the Brooklyn Bridge.

When Trump criticized the prime minister of Denmark, apparently ignorant of the fact that she does not have the authority to sell the autonomous, self-governing affiliate of the Kingdom of Denmark, for calling his absurd, ignorant, uninformed request what it was, ABSURD, crybaby Dirty Donald whined and cried and pouted that she was “nasty” and, whine, whine, whine, canceled a long-planned visit to Denmark.

We know that Donald is terrified of “nasty” women who turn out to be stronger and smarter than he is.

Hillary Clinton. Nancy Pelosi. Elizabeth Warren. Kamala Harris. Meghan Markle. Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono. San Juan (Puerto Rico) Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz. All “nasty” women, as labelled by pathetic, insecure little Trump. Nasty and proud of it.

And pathetic little Trump is terrified of them. Men of QUALITY are not threatened by women of EQUALITY. Trump is no man of quality.

In response, the prime minister of Iceland, formerly under the Kingdom of Denmark but completely independent since 1944, canceled a meeting with Mike Pence in his scheduled visit to Iceland, citing “prior commitments” that apparently had higher priority than visiting with Trump losers.

But … there may be more to the story… continues …

But he’s got SIX deeds to it.

Someone needs to sell him some real estate in a Federal or State prison.

………..trump is no man of ANY quality!

It’s the same bridge he has sold before, then declared as a loss for the tax break.

And Mike got the flag right, too!!

“Hey Johnnie, can you come out and play?”

“OK Donnie!”

“By the way Johnnie, I really like your tin soldier. Can I have it?”

“Sorry, I don’t think so. I like it too!”

“Then forget it, I’ll go play with someone else! You stink! MOMMY!!!!!"

He wants something to buy? The 62,984,828 souls he bought in the 2016 election weren’t enough?

…next he gives Alaska back to Russia, Happy Birthday Vlad…

We keep falling for the resident’s hand-waving diversions. I’m reminded of this comment from Tony Campolo, an actual evangelical pastor addressing his congregants: “I have three things I’d like to say today. First, while you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition. Second, most of you don’t give a shit. What’s worse is that you’re more upset with the fact that I said shit than the fact that 30,000 kids died last night.”

He can file that along with his “deed” to Greenland.

There was always the same chance that America could buy Greenland as there was for Denmark to buy New Jersey. I don’t agree that Trump was trying to distract people, in this instance. He simply isn’t very intelligent, couldn’t find Greenland on a map (or the planet Earth on a globe!), but, like many small men, he has big delusional dreams. More to be pitied than condemned—but I’d sure as hell like to pity him while he’s sitting in a prison cell!

I think the entire issue boils down to one thing, and one thing only. He was told “No.” Not nastily, not angrily, just a firm, flat “No.” The “Chosen One” may have been telling the truth when he said purchasing Greenland was “just an idea,” but as soon as heard that “N-Word,” it became an obsession. Tyrants don’t like hearing that “N-Word.”

Good ‘toon Mike; maybe that would satisfy him for 30 seconds or so … he’s gotta be in withdrawal

Do you want me to send you back to where you were? Unemployed, in Greenland?
