I have nothing against showing emotion, but this isn't about me...

I believe that Donald Trump is a bully and strength is the only thing that will dissuade him. He's not a person of empathy who will be moved by a show of human emotions. He's a wanna-be strongman piece of shit who needs to know that Europe is not going to simple sit back and cry in their pillow while he walks all over them.

Trump is laughing at this response from Greenland. It shows that they are prepared to lose.
