Greenlanders reject Trump with 85% majority against joining US
Greenland’s population is overwhelmingly against leaving the Danish realm in favor of the US, dealing a blow to President Donald Trump’s insistence the island is keen to join.
Summary
A poll commissioned by Danish and Greenlandic newspapers revealed that 85% of Greenlanders oppose joining the U.S., contradicting Trump’s claims that the territory prefers American rule over Denmark.
Only 6% supported U.S. affiliation, with 9% undecided.
Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute B. Egede reaffirmed the push for Greenlandic independence, rejecting both U.S. and Danish governance.
Trump has argued Greenland is vital for U.S. security and suggested force as an option.
Meanwhile, Denmark seeks to maintain unity with allies while opposing Trump’s ambitions.

15% in support or undecided of being part of the US is pretty high, surprising
-
Not really, on virtually any poll with enough people, something like 10-20% of people will always be contrarian, no matter the question. You could ask if kicking puppies is evil and 15% would answer “it’s okay sometimes, as a treat”.
-
Could also be trolls, considering that the idea of a left leaning nation randomly joining a copy of 1930 Germany is pretty bizare
-
Lol. Do you not know what "contrarian" means?
-
Yes, but with trolls I meant people going "What bullshit is that? Hell's gonna freeze before that happens, and this poll doesn't have a real impact anyway, would be funny to vote yes."
-
I would have thought people worldwide had learned after Brexit that a vote on national sovereignty is not a proper avenue for trolling, but alas.
-
It's a poll by a newspaper, not an official referendum. Of course people will take it less seriously

When I've been a good boy mama let's me kick puppies.

President Musk hasn't paid the other 85% yet.
