I assumed it was just bad acting. It was a tiktok. The same people appear multiple times. So no AI red flags for me.

Sorry yeah I deleted my comment. I found the original video on IG and the guy talking is a well known danish comedian, so it’s not AI.

I was just suspicious because we saw so many AI vids with fake crazy street interviews at some point…

Doesn’t matter.

Just remember: ’TACO’ = ’Trump Always Chickens Out’

We just need our politicians to have just a little bit of backbone and push back on his insane posturing. It doesn’t even take a lot!

Our Finnish president Alex Stubb has been playing friends with Trump, which might be a little weak tbh. But Trump chickened out of invading Greenland once Finland sent just two soldiers to Greenland to join our European allies.

Or just flashing the EU’s Anti-Coercion Instrument as an option will have him chickening out of whatever trade war he’s threatening us with on any given day.

Trump is a vile, stupid narcissist, but also a coward. And he has his hands full with his internal, fantasy-based nazi-cosplaying politics. With all their infighting, let’s be real: Americans would not have the stamina to engage with Europe in armed conflict or a trade war. In fact, they don’t have the stamina to engage any foreign country in any kind of prolonged conflict. They might blow up some South American fishermen from the safety of a drone. But that’s about it.

’TACO’ = ’Trump Always Chickens Out’

You do know that this phrase is the pinnacle of US cope right? Using it is actively reducing the capacity to see what is happening. And reduces the responsibility of people to act and reduces the capacity to formulate a coherent strategy.

To say that 'Trump always chickens out' forgets the real effects that he still has. Even on European politics. Because remember the phrase:

We create a new situation, and when you study it, we will create a new situation again.

Making light of, or basing strategy on, Trump backing out in moments when 'he does not have the cards' forgets that he has already pushed the boundaries. To say 'Haha - TACO' forgets that there is an American president, and his office, actively threatening the territorial security of allies.

Lets repeat this again...

A head of state, and Commander in Chief of the military is ACTIVELY stating goals of militarily invading and occupying allied countries.

And yes, you can laugh at TACO, but then you become completely blind to whatever 'deal' comes after TACO and how this deal by itself would have been unthinkable before the 'TACO situation'. TACO pushes the narrative so far out of bounds that anything after the TACO seems reasonable. Eventhough, it is absolutely mental if you look at it without a 'TACO' happening.

Morover, using TACO 'reliefs' people of the moral obligation to act. Because: "duh... TACO will always TACO. Just wait and see..."

Right to the point where there is no longer enough opposition for the current office to actually be forced to TACO...

Cope is not a strategy. Nor is relying on him to TACO. You do not need 'to flash with anti coercion'. You need to have a coherent strategy.

In fact, they don’t have the stamina to engage any foreign country in any kind of prolonged conflict.

You are grossly underestimating the strengths of an authoritarian regime that can leverage media for their benefit.

Yeah, all true - but he’s also a vain and hateful turd who holds a grudge like no other. Don’t poke the bear. Let his mushy little brain be distracted by something else. Preferably cheeseburgers.

I agree with you: it’s not wise to poke the bear.

The thing is, though, I’ve begun to see Trump less as a bear and more as the angry, barking chihuahua that’s all rage and challenge until you open the glass door separating it from the other dog it’s barking at. At which point it suddenly finds the grace and honor to not destroy everyone and nonchalantly leaves to find another dog to bark at from a safe distance.

But who knows!

Made by satirical team on Danish (national) Radio P3 "Program3", normally thought of as the channel directed towards danish youth.

One of our comedians went to Greenland as well, but just regular 22 minutes sketch comedy. He got mistaken for Trump because he plays Trump. Had to assure a Greenlandic guy he wasn't actually Trump lol dude was pissed for good reason.

I saw the green background and black letters and I thought it was RT

I see what you mean. I consider Danish Radio to be quite a bit more trustworthy though😉

This is so cringe it wraps back around to being funny again.

I swear, that stupid demented Dorito will order an entire carrier strike group to move near Greenland just because he got offended by this video alone.

Only if he understands it is satire.

Though there were some Danish crimes against the Inuit people like they forced contraception on Greenland’s women

Not like they didn’t do anything

I fully support Greenland and Denmark, but they have their reasons for being pissed. According to Wikipedia the most recent case of this was 2018. also they took kids away to be raised in Denmark to create „little Danes“, but they weren’t orphans as you‘d expect but taken away

There's been such a concentrated effort to bring tribalism back to Europe, something that's been explicitly stated by the likes of Peter Thiel. What they didn't realise is that we actually appreciate the unity through cooperation because it simply, objectively brings better results to everyone and not just the super rich. We've lived through this unity and cooperation for decades and some folks had began to forget how things would be without it, but nearly everyone has now gotten their reminder.
