outlets were there at the same time we were there. People were nice, but people were pretty over it at times. I'll give you just one superficial example.

And we went to a place called Nuke Center, which is like the biggest mall in Greenland. And we're standing there at the doors and we're just like sitting there asking people, hey, do you want to talk to us? Hey, can I ask you a question about President Trump?
