>> President Trump: I LOOK

FORWARD TO GOING TO DENMARK BUT

I THOUGHT THE PRIME MINISTER'S

STATEMENT THAT IT WAS ABSURD,

THAT IT WAS AN ABSURD IDEA, WAS

NASTY.

I THOUGHT IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE.

ALL SHE HAD TO DO WAS SAY, "NO,

WE WOULDN'T BE INTERESTED."

BUT WE CAN'T TREAT THE

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE WAY

THEY TREATED US UNDER

PRESIDENT OBAMA.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A VERY NOT NICE

WAY OF SAYING SOMETHING.

THEY COULD HAVE TOLD ME "NO."

THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED FOR MANY

YEARS.

HARRY TRUMAN HAD THE IDEA OF

GREENLAND.

I HAD THE IDEA, OTHER PEOPLE

HAVE HAD THE IDEA.

IT GOES BACK AND TRULY EARLY

1900s.

BUT HARRY TRUMAN VERY STRONGLY

THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA.

I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA,

BECAUSE DENMARK IS LOSING

$700 MILLION A YEAR WITH IT.

IT DOESN'T DO THEM ANY GOOD.

ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS SAY, "NO,

WE'D RATHER NOT DO THAT."

OR, "WE'D RATHER NOT TALK ABOUT

IT."

DON'T SAY, "WHAT AN ABSURD IDEA

THAT IS."

EXCUSE ME.

SHE'S NOT TALKING TO ME.

SHE'S TALKING TO THE

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

YOU DON'T TALK TO THE

UNITED STATES THAT WAY.

AT LEAST UNDER ME.

NOW, PRESIDENT OBAMA, WHEN THEY

WOULDN'T LAND AND LAND IN THE

PHILIPPINES, WHEN THEY TREATED

HIM SO BADLY THAT SO MANY PLACE,

THE PHILIPPINES IS THE ONE

THAT COMES TO MIND.

THAT'S DIFFERENT.

THEY CAN TREAT HIM ANY WAY THEY
