Besides, taking over Denmark didn't automatically give the Nazis control of Greenland in 1940, but nowadays it might work as a way to distract from the Epstein files for a day or two.

Governor General has 'reserve powers' such as refusing to grant Royal Assent to a Bill, dissolving or proroguing parliament and dismissing the Prime Minister.
The Governor General also appoints judges and senators.
Senators are not elected in Canada? What is their function?

Canada’s senators are appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister. They represent Canada’s provinces and territories in Parliament. Senators participate in debates in the Senate Chamber, work with other senators in committees and, when applicable, participate in discussions with their parties or parliamentary groups.

Since Confederation in 1867, Canadian Senators have always been appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister, a process that remains the case today. However, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau now makes his own recommendations following an open, arm’s length and merit-based nomination process.

Trump's Fixation With Greenland Has Ended Denmark's Love Affair With the U.S. (Wall Street Journal, July 23, 2025)
Many Danes never shared the infatuation of the Danish government with the USA.
I don't think it's true that Trump has destroyed your (!) relationship with Denmark, unfortunately, but it might not be wise to wear a MAGA hat (or a Make-Greenland-Red-White-and-Blue Land hat) if you go to Denmark or Greenland. And even though "a majority of them [Danes and Greenlanders] now hold unfavorable views of America," a majority of Danes and Greenlanders are still able to distinguish between Americans who support Trump and Americans who don't.
In fact, judging by the YouTube comments I think that Trump has managed to create unity in the world (especially among Europeans and Canadians) - against MAGA and everything it represents.

Denmark and Greenland are now enemy countries to be destabilized by the U.S.
From a long article:
Central sources: Men with tis to Trump are trying to infiltrate Greenland
Greenland is the target of influence campaigns meant to create rifts in the relations with Denmark, according to the Intelligence Organization of the Police.
The streets are covered with snow when an American man with close ties to the President of the USA and the White House lands in Nuuk.
The man is on a mission: During his visit, he will make a list of names of citizens of Greenland who support president Donald Trump's plans to take over Greenland.
The list is to consist of Greenlanders whom the American will try to recruit for a seperatist movemen in both Greenland and Denmark.
The man is one of at least three Americans with ties to Donald Trump who carry out secret influence campaigns in Greenland.
(...)
DR knows the names of the American men but has decided not to make them public to protect DR's sources.
(...)
According to one source,, he got Greenlanders in Nuuk to point out issues that can be used to cast a bad light on Denmark in American media.
(...)
- What we see is the use of soft power, influence and attempts to create internal rifts, according to a source.
I can't imagine that one of those three men isn't Tom Dans. Another one might be his twin brother, Paul Dans (see post 914).
It sounds much like the start of what the USA has been doing in Cuba for the past 65 years.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs summons American chargé d'affaires for a conversation about attempts of influence.
Orla Joelsen hasn't tweeted about it yet. I guess it's still night in Greenland.

BBC article on the same...

Greenland: Denmark summons top US diplomat over alleged influence operation
The aim was reportedly to infiltrate Greenland's society and promote its secession from Denmark.

– Looking forward, there is anxiety that that Facebook algorithms etc will be be rigged to promote criticism of the relation to Denmark and favor US stories and narratives.
– This sounds like pretty flagrant behavior. It doesn't sound like spy craft that billionaires are walking around, making lists and giving out money.
This is either clumsy, or the United States doesn't care what people think.

In that case there's not much to worry about: 65 years on and Cuba's still not part of the US. The only effect of all that is a large Cuban population in the nearest part of the US. So, I guess we can expect Greenlander refugees to head to Maine?

And be deported to El Salvador, or maybe Uganda?

The Florida Cubans are notoriously reactionary voters, due to the massive chip on their shoulder about communist Cuba and wanting to do the opposite of anything Castro-approved. I wonder what weird swerve Maine politics would take if it filled up with a large* number of anti-Greenland Greenlanders.
* Possibly dozens.
With a short video (1:28 min.) from the interview.Orla Joelsen on X, Sep 5, 2025
In an interview with DR News, Denmark’s national broadcasting corporation, former U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton suggested that Greenland could become a U.S. territory like Puerto Rico—under American control but not a full state.
A message to you, John Bolton:
Greenlandwill never be subjected to the United States – and Greenland will not become a “Puerto Rico 2.”
Greenland is our home. We do not wish to be Americans. We are Greenlanders – Kalaallit.
We welcome cooperation and dialogue, but only on our own terms – with full respect for our culture, our people, and our right to self-determination.
#StandwithGreenland
The full interview (in English with subtitles in Danish):
I don't know if the interview can be accessed outside of Denmark.
A loud minority of revanchists demanding that the USA 'liberate' a country whose government the USA doesn't like has its uses.
One thing is Trump claiming that Greenlanders are victims of a tyrannical European regime. It looks so much better on TV if it's an actual Greenlander like:

When Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump Jr. visited Nuuk, Jørgen Boassen was the host. Now he responds to the news.
And an old one:
Jørgen Boassen was told to pick up a couple of Trump followers and meet Donald Trump Jr. at the airport.
Three days ago, Jørgen Boassen - a die-hard Trump supporter from Nuuk - got a message from the MAGA celebrity Charlie Kirk.
»He asked me if I could help him arrange something,« Jørgen Boassen says.
