I don't know if Americans realize what happened between the US and Denmark.
No matter whom I listen to, the feeling is the same: Our bilateral relationship is dead.
I grew up in a country filled with gratitude towards The US, because of The Normandy Landings. The US was loved.
The feeling now is anger. Our Kingdom has been threatened twice in 100 years: Hitler's occupation and Trump's attempted annexation of Greenland.
It saddens me, but I sense this will not easily be forgotten.

It's not just Denmark — it's all of Western Europe!
Trump has torn the USA out of modern Western societies(a fact that's been clear since March 2025).
The USA _was_ the heart of modern Western societies.This vacuum has yet to be filled; I have absolutely no idea where we are heading.
Even if Trump dies within the next year and if Vance blows up the rest and MAGA implodes, everything that happened last year — and is still ongoing — will shape the next decades.
This is a fact I am fully aware of, and it will shape the rest of my life...

@randahl They've lost the majority of Americans as well. The only things the junta have going for them at this point is control over instruments of violence and money conduits.
It's bigger than that. America has turned its ugly side towards Europe, and we cannot help but see it. You could compare America to Harvey Weinstein—harassing everyone for decades, but while we have been disgusted in private we kept diplomatic ties because of power relations. Well, now that it became targeted at us the facade is broken, we cannot pretend not to see it any more, and we are embarassed to ever have been associated. It goes deeper than your current leadership.

The orange one is just the puppet for the Republican Party/Project 2025.
Yes, his mental decline and overall madness adds to it, but it will only get worse when he's gone...
To get this shit-show fixed you have to get rid of the Republicans (party and those who voted for them). -
@notsoloud @randahl And now that you mention it
@martinvermeer
Yeah, I thought about that, but this was also part of clearing the Germans out, so not a completely obvious threat to the country. But people were relieved when they left, it wasn't a given thing.The Soviet invasion plans for Denmark, complete with gas attacks, amphibious landings and nuclear attack were very different.

@randahl Russia delivered Europe and the nazi camps, not the USA. USA wanted to administrate France after the D-Day. De Gaulle took them by surprise re organising the territory into departments. Since, USA lies about WW2. It's time to remember the true history. I'm french and i'm soooo sad to consider it that way.

@randahl You can’t trust Trump- EVER- no one should

Not extreme measures, no executions, it's something simpler: Courage. Courage from the Senate, the house, and judges. Courage also from the people in peaceful protests.
Newsom was right on what he said at Davos. -

Conviction cannot just stop it Donald Trump. The billionaires who put him in power and who push this agenda of annexation, so they can have the spoils distributed amongst themselves, they too have to be dealt with.. the way to deal with them is to make billionaires not possible. No one should have that much wealth. The companies that make that level of wealth possible should not be also be possible.
Taxation and antitrust are a necessity
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @Rii_cck @randahl
For the billionaires it isn't about the cash value of money, it's about the race to be the most wealthy it's just a number (not caring about the rest of us). Trump has seen that being the US president allows him many opportunities to increase his (personal) "nett worth". Remember Elon has moved the goal post with his Trillion target... expect the billionaires to work (us) harder to aim for the Elon target... -
For sure, and that's of course what you should be focusing on. It's uplifting to see Minneapolis taking a stance—clearly you're not alone.
I think the Danish/European sentiment @randahl points to is however that something fundamental has been broken between the US and Europe, and for the first time Trump has done enough damage that it will not just return to normal once America gets rid of trumpism. We are not only fed up with Trump and his regime, but with the whole American hegemony.

@randahl I don't think the relation is dead... I think it will be a difficult one while Mr Drumpf is in office, but while EU is formed around institutions, the US is more individualistic... meaning that just as he aims to destroy what the previous built, the next one might very well undo much of what he built. While that is not nearly as good for the US, it might mean that the relations between the two countries survive Drumpf.
On the other hand... this depends on who will be the next POTUS. -

@hpod16 It definitely changes your relationship to music by far. I agree.
Well thank you! Both my wife and I are fans of purple so it works out, lol.
