Trump envoy hands out MAGA hats to Greenland kids — and gets middle fingers in return

Donald Trump's latest attempt to win over the people of Greenland crashed and burned after the president dispatched Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry to the Danish territory as a goodwill ambassador — only to have locals greet him with middle fingers and rejections of his giveaway MAGA merchandise.

According to the New York Times, Landry arrived in Nuuk, Greenland's capital, on Sunday claiming he was on a mission to "make a bunch of friends." Within hours, the Times reported, he got nothing but cold shoulders and dismissals.

Landry toured the town in cold drizzle, offering free MAGA hats to Greenlandic children, only to be greeted with refusals. He then attempted to sweeten his pitch by telling some kids that if they visited his Louisiana mansion, they could have "all the chocolate chip cookies you can eat."

Landry's delegation carried "cardboard boxes stuffed with MAGA hats," but few residents wanted them, the report said.

As Landry traveled about on Sunday, he was the recipient of "scowls," with local Hanne Hansen bluntly stating, "They should fix their own country first," and her friend Vivi Nielsen adding, "They need to get out," the Times added.
