Summary
Donald Trump Jr., Charlie Kirk, and Sergio Gor's visit to Greenland, framed as a pro-Trump tourism trip, has been criticized as a staged political stunt.
Greenlandic politicians denounced the effort as misleading.
Reports reveal that the group allegedly recruited homeless individuals in Nuuk to wear MAGA hats for photo ops, promising them meals in return.
Local residents condemned the move as exploitative and deceptive, with critics accusing the group of manipulating vulnerable individuals to push a pro-U.S. narrative.

Out of a cannon? The only Cannons I know of take forever and put people on pedestals instead of where they belong.

Sure. Why not? It would be fun and cathartic for everyone, especially if it were televised, especially with high speed cameras.

The grift just in plain sight, and Americans are so fucken stupid they'll gobble whatever the clique says instead of listening to the residents who were actually there.

The like 3 black dudes that were prominently in the stands right behind Trump at every rally?
Natanael@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 1y
Those 3, and the dozens of white people with "blacks for Trump" shirts around them
alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 1y
I don't remember ever seeing white people with “blacks for Trump” shirts behind Trump during a rally, surely his team isn't so tone-deaf they'd do that?

They also hired people to wear MAGA hats in the US early in the Trump campaign. This shouldn't surprise anyone.

Staged AND exploitative. My oh my I don't even have to do ANYTHING to be a better person than a trump excuser. Literal neutrality is better than your party's morals holy hell.

Wait till people find out that everything about Trump is staged and this presidency is a farce.

It's wild that threatening a close military ally with invasion is less divisive.

They offered an extra meal to participate in a MAGA Bum Fights tournament afterward, which was live-streamed to wealthy donors.

And what meal were those homeless people given as payment? Probably a cold, weeks-old McDonald's burger. Because hey, that's how Donnie (t)rolls.

Cue the avalanche of FB and Xitter posts that will deny any wrong doing and that it was all genuine.
It's going to be a long ride but the next few years will be endless fiascos like this ... while the real changes to our world is happening in the background.
It will take us decades to recover from this stupidity ... if we ever do.
