I'm sorry, are we discussing Donald Trump still?

Yeah, yeah.

But exactly, but he cannot do this because in a certain way, this is a very interesting story.

I always believed that if he was in a movie production, he was never going to produce films, just trailers.

Listen, this is, I believe, his major mistake.

Because, of course, there is, particularly in the eastern part of Europe, people who like his anti-immigration policy.

As you know, Eastern Europe is not particularly the place where sexual minorities are adored.

But...

Greenland is different.

Listen, it's about land.

It's about territory.

And here's the problem.

Most of these people on the far, on European far right, they're nationalists, which means they know their history and they believe that land is sacred.

And he has a real estate view of land.

They're not like this.

One of the paradoxes that if it was about any type of a work or if it was about migration, he was going to have an allies.

Now, his allies are silent.

He's allowing, by the way, I don't know how interested and to certain extent how skillful the liberal leaders are going to be, but it is the moment to have a new consensus on Europe.

And do you know what happened in the European Parliament when basically they decided not to ratify the trade deal that was reached six months ago?

And then when the president of the parliament said, we are standing behind Denmark and Greenland, so the mainstream parties, the members of the European Parliament from the mainstream parties went up.
