Usha Vance's Greenland Trip Somehow Gets More Embarrassing for Trump

U.S. representatives were reportedly seen knocking door-to-door in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, to ascertain just how Vance’s visit to the Nordic island would be received. The answer? Not well.

“The Americans’ charm offensive mission has failed,” reported TV 2 correspondent Jesper Steinmetz, adding that locals have completely cold-shouldered the Vance family’s prospective visit.

American representatives were seen walking around the city, canvassing residents to see if people would be interested in a visit from the vice president’s wife.

“They’ve gotten no, no, no, no, no, every single time,” Steinmetz said.

Threatening Greenlanders and then expecting them to welcome you with open arms.

A fellow blood sucker.

[tanyev]

3. Hard to conduct a charm offensive when you have absolutely no charm.

😒

[NH Ethylene]

25. Love it.

[Linda ladeewolf]

6. The Second Lady doesn't appear to have any more charm than the VP.

[RazorbackExpat]

7. She actually seemed to enjoy getting booed at the Kennedy Center

Maybe she wants to enjoy getting booed in Greenland as well

[Linda ladeewolf]

10. Well, bad attention is better than no attention. So far no one pays any attention to her.

[Attilatheblond]

36. Possibly, she likes being booed as it gives her an excuse to hate people

[calimary]

37. Maybe Usha Vance is a masochist.

A reasonable assumption. Look who she married.

[poozwah]

39. anagram

but she, like her peter’s tool husband, will MARCH to the tune of the dipshit drummer in the white’s house.

[central scrutinizer]

8. Nuuk says " nyuk, nyuk, nyuk"

To the visiting stooges

[patphil]

9. I guess they thought that, being an Asian woman, she'd be given a favorable welcome.

They forgot that her husband is a flaming Republican piece of shit, who has about as much empathy as a steaming turd. Apparently she's no better than he is.

[ShazzieB]

17. Like attracts like.

[Wounded Bear]

11. trump has turned the US into pariahs with any respectable nations...

[thought crime]

24. If he takes Greenland then the next Democratic president should return it.

Without asking for a refund.

[KPN]

12. Awesome! Works well for me. Thank you Greenlanders!

[live love laugh]

13. Nothing embarrasses these POS 💩

[msongs]

14. sending a DEI hire is no better just cuz she's a woman nt

[Gordcanuck]

15. Open srms

[ReRe]

16. Her mission was to kill them with kindness,

but they were wise and fought her off with a "cold" shoulder.

[LuvLoogie]

18. I wonder how she feels about her husband

trying to make her this scatocracy's beard

[mitch96]

19. Are Foreign countries allowed to just "canvas" a city and interrogate it's citizens ?...

Yes, Boris the herring is good here...

[SunSeeker]

20. Good God, so her mission was to find Greenlanders to do a "we want to be part of the US" photo op with her?!

Usha is as evil and delusional as her husband.

[IcyPeas]

21. Greenland (not Iceland)

I dont think he's trying to buy Iceland..... yet.

[SunSeeker]

22. Sorry, I meant Greenland.

Yes, Iceland is tiny and I hope for their sake they have nothing Trump wants.

[dem4decades]

26. She should cut her losses in Greenland and head to Canada.

Might I suggest she attend a hockey game?

[John1956PA]

27. And be recognized by the P.A. announcer and be asked to take a bow. n/t

[dem4decades]

28. Announced as the future second lady of the state of Canada.

It would be such an honor for her.

I'd pay to see the video.

[Aussie105]

29. Americans aren't good at a 'charms offensive' in general.

Bluff and bluster, yes.

But on the list of Americans who could reasonably be expected to have some chance of pulling a charms offensive off, you'd put any Republican Trump butt kisser politician's wife near the bottom of the list.

These people are not who they think they are.

Why are they so blind to what a large part of the American population thinks of them? And the rest of the world?
I guess being full of self-importance tends to blind you to reality.

[Deminpenn]

30. Last report I heard was the Vances are now

going to whatever US military base is in Greenland where, I'm sure, the military will be ordered to meet and greet them with appropriate joy and enthusiasm and civilians who work at the base will be highly encouraged to do the same.

[Aussie105]

31. The need for spontaneous enthusiastic cheering at appropriate times

will be indicated by a man with a flag.

10 days in the brig for those who can't muster some spontaneous and enthusiastic cheering.

[GreenWave]

32. They've gotten no, no, no, no, no, every single time," Steinmetz said.

[raccoon]

33. That would be like Georgians and South Carolinians welcoming a visit from Sherman.

[fargone]

34. Some Greenlander should have said yes

And then been ready with a rant about her husband. I

[AmericaUnderSiege]

35. Do these idiots actually not know they're the villains?

Literally on the side of Nazis and Putin Kremlinistas, and they believe they have the option of being Americans?

Good lord we need a better mental health system.

[GopherGal]

38. Self-Awareness Level: Negative 100

The famous self-awareness quote from Bull Durham is The world is made for people who aren't cursed with self-awareness," spoken by Annie Savoy. [1, 2, 3]

• Character: Annie Savoy (played by Susan Sarandon) [2, 3]
• Context: Annie says this quote during a voiceover near the end of the movie, as she reflects on Nuke LaLoosh (the young, talented but somewhat immature player). [1, 3]
• Full quote: "The world is made for people who aren't cursed with self-awareness." [1, 2, 3, 4]

[louis-t]

40. They are so full of themselves, they thought

they would be welcomed as heroes. The audacity. The nerve. The absolute insanity.

[Aristus]

41. I didn't think it was possible for Trump to be embarrassed by anything.

He's had so many encounters and life failures that I would consider fatally humiliating, to the point where I wouldn't want to show my face in public anymore. But he keeps seeking the spot light, and with his curious talent for self-promotion, usually finds it. It may not be possible for him to be embarrassed by anything.

[orleans]

42. tell her no!

[Skittles]

43. so they won't hold Townhalls here

but will go door-knocking in Greenland

[marble falls]

44. Now she's only going to visit the Space Corps (or whatever they're called) ...

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! The VP was going to join her, he heard they had some hottie couches and sofas their.

[Sneederbunk]

45. Looks like the Vances are going to be confined to the air base.

Maybe they can see some Greenlanders using binoculars.

[LaMouffette]

46. No worries! They'll just ship in some Russian actors to play Greenlanders and pay them to pretend to welcome Usha and

her beaver-faced husband. Seriously, how could anyone kiss that face in such need of manscaping . . . or punching?

[LiberalLovinLug]

47. Greenland should announce that the US air base must pack up
