Truly not so funny anymore.
Ted Cruz Predicted in 2016 That Donald Trump Would Nuke Denmark If the 'Twitterer in Chief' Became PresidentPresident Donald Trump announced last night that he’s postponing a trip to Denmark next month because the Prime Minister of that country wasn’t interested in selling him Greenland. The president’s decision is bizarre, to say the least, but someone did warn us this might happen. Republican Senator Ted Cruz made some comments back in 2016 that are looking pretty prescient from the perspective of 2019. Cruz warned Americans that if Trump was elected president, he might nuke Denmark. Seriously.
Cruz’s old comments, which were made during the New Hampshire primaries in February of 2016, were recently highlighted by Craig Caplan, a producer for CSPAN. And Cruz’s words are kind of chilling, given the absolutely bonkers behavior we’re witnessing by the current “leader†of the free world.................
...................Cruz’s comment was clearly intended as a joke, but can anyone honestly say that it feels like a joke anymore?
President Trump does very much have his finger on the button here in the year 2019. The president has the ability to launch a unilateral nuclear strike anytime he likes, and even though Cruz has become a lapdog for Trump, the Texas senator was absolutely correct that we should all be concerned.
Politicians in Denmark are beside themself with Trump’s decision to cancel his meeting with the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen. Even conservative politicians are pointing out just how insulting it is for someone to ask if they can buy a part of your country. One Danish politician compared it to asking if Alaska was for sale............
