Donald Trump Jr. handed free food to homeless Greenlanders: “He bribes them to join in favor of MAGA? “

The son of the newly elected president of the United States, Jr. handed out to homeless, free lunch in Nuk’s . Donald Trump Jr. visited Greenland’s capital, Nuk, last week, shortly after his father stated that it was a “absolute necessity” for the US to take control of the semi-autonomous Danish territory. The visit created strong reactions, since many attendees seemed to wear hats with the MAGA logo (Make America Great Again – Make America Great Again). CORVERSE MAGA is a chronic slogan by Donald Trump and Republicans who seem to have expansionist aspirations for the US. The fact that homeless Greenlanders agreed to wear these hats left open the possibility that the kitchen would be a kind of bribe. Jørgen Bay-Kastrup, CEO of Hotel Hans Egede, where the event took place, speaking in The Guardian revealed that most of the attendees were homeless who had been invited out of the streets. “They didn’t know who Donald Trump Jr. was. They were offered lunch and accepted. It was very unusual for us, as we usually do not see these visitors in our hotel,” noted Bay-Kastrup, adding that the team enjoyed a traditional Greenlandese meal with fish and caribou. CORVERSE During lunch, Trump Jr. put his father on speaker and the elected president assured the team: “We will treat you well”. However, Bay-Kastrup clarified: “They were not Trump’s supporters. They were just happy to have been invited to lunch. I think they later understood who they ate with.” In response, a Trump Junior spokesman rejected them by calling them “more than ridiculous”, arguing that such proposals had no credibility. The Republicans of Parliament even drafted the law “Make Greenland Great Again”, proposing exploratory talks on the purchase of the largest island in the world. However, Greenland’s leadership has repeatedly confirmed that the area is not for sale, although it remains open in collaboration with the US, particularly in mining operations. According to the Guardian, Bay-Kastrup observed the scenes unfolding from his office and noted mixed reactions. While some found the trick amusing, others were less impressed, with one person allegedly trampling a MAGA cap in protest. Despite disputes, Greenland’s leaders maintained their stand. “We are not trade, nor for sale. Cooperation is welcome, but our sovereignty is not negotiated,” Bay-Kastrup stressed, echoing feelings shared by the Prime Minister of the island.
