Fox News Sends Reporter to Find MAGA in Greenland and It Majorly Backfires

There was one die-hard Donald Trump fan who made his way to the Fox News cameras, however.

Summary

Fox News’s attempt to find support for Donald Trump in Greenland backfired, as most residents expressed disinterest in his proposals.

While one Trump supporter was found, the majority of Greenlanders interviewed criticized Trump’s comments and expressed a preference for remaining under Danish rule.

Despite these setbacks, Trump continues to advocate for acquiring Greenland, citing economic security concerns.

    It’s simpler than that.

    The two options on the ballot were telling citizens two basically opposite stories.

    1. “It’s not that bad, solutions are hard and complex”. With wages stagnating for decades and costs continuously going up, and nearly half the population living effectively paycheck to paycheck. Factually correct in context, but a hard pill to swallow.
    2. “It’s bad and we will fix it”. No actual plan, probably not even the intention of a real plan to fix anything, but acknowledging what the average person felt instead of seemingly brushing it off.

    Once we get through those simple messages, then we get to the fact that the media since the Cold War has completely fucked actual education of what socialism, fascism, and every other ism other than Capitalism is. It is no wonder a ton of people either decided to not vote or at least vote for the side acknowledging there are issues that need fixing.
