Let say you have a 2 year old that wants candy for dinner, you tell him no, he starts shouting, you tell him no again, he starts shouting louder and bangs his foot, you tell him no and that it's non-negotiable, he lies down on the floor and shouts histerically. Now imagine that that 2 year old is a orange elderly man, with a dictator fetish.

I think it's the democrats trying to ease the tensions back in Washington.

Group leader Senator Chris Coons, a Democrat, said their trip was to listen to the locals and take their views back to Washington "to lower the temperature".

The US Democratic Party knows how to handle the US Republican Party. I’m sure things are well in hand. :/

They'll state that they still plan to seize Greenland, then throw around some insults and threats. It never fails to calm people down.
