Your the one who seems to thing a polite message was offensive somehow.
You've never heard of black propaganda (hint: it's not a racial thing) or misinformation have you?
Meh anyone can cancel at anytime for any reason.
Same difference.
Go ahead. I'll wait.
Your racism is seriously out of hand lately. You should be ashamed. But you need a sense of shame to be ashamed.I fail seeing anything wrong with picturing a Trump tower hotel and casino shawdowing over beautiful little Eskimo shacks in Greenland. ....

Anybody, who really does want to work, has a job; the problem here is illegal immigrants have driven down American wages. I'm all in favor of hard working legal immigrants.

Not what I've said. I've said it portrays a petulant attitude and is rude.
Once again, not propaganda. Unless you want to claim Trump is an anti-Trump propagandist. Again (emphasis mine):
"Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time,"
But the reason given in this case is that Denmark refused to sell Greenland to America, as stated by Trump above.
No, it isn't. Equating the logic used to defend one even to the same logic being used to defend a different event, thus demonstrating the fallacy inherent in the logic, is not the same as comparing one event to another event wholesale.
To use an analogy (which I am loathe to do, considering that they seem to confuse you a lot):
EVENT: A politician sends an unsolicited picture of themselves naked to a teenager.
LOGIC USED IN DEFENSE: "What is wrong with sending an email?"
EVENT ANALOGY: A teenager goes to a school with dozens of guns and shoots several students.
LOGIC USED IN ANALOGY DEFENSE: "What is wrong with going to school?"
See? It's how you demonstrate the fallaciousness (fallicicity?) of a particular argument - by showing that the same argument can be applied to the defense of an obviously indefensible proposition.
Note the second paragraph:

Blame the companies that illegally hire them as slave labor. That includes Trump's companies. Yes, your bloated orange hero is a massive hypocrite on this issue, as with so many others.
Guess he needs a spanking then.
He does love to troll.
The public reason given.
Now that some mental gymnastics!
I did and I will even repost them specifically.
"Point is, judge someone by their actions - "
Ok,- he politely rescheduled
"not their diplomatic use of language."
But his actions and his words match soo.
"In this instance, Trump is essentially postponing a diplomatic visit in response to not getting what he wants."
Denmark will survive. Stout folk they are!
"The fact that he wrote a verbose Tweet about it doesn't change that action into something non-petulant."
And we circle back around to rescheduling is a crime again!
If you are looking to secret hidden rational to explain this behaviour I can only assume that you agree that on the surface this appears to be the behaviour of a mad man.
Do you do this with all political leaders when they do something you find strange or just wrong? Did you apply this logic when Obama did something you disagreed with?
As for myself, with the pattern of behaviour we have seen with this President, his ignorance and impulsive irrational behaviour I see no reason to assume this apparently insane behaviour is anything other than just that.

If you cancel because of security threats you don't say "I'm cancelling cos you won't sell Greenland. Thanks for telling me though so I didn't waste my time going there".
You say you're cancelling for security reasons or if you wish to conceal it make up some generic excuse like 'important domestic issues' rather than saying something odd that annoys the country you were going to visit and paints you in a bad light to most of the world.
The reality where obsequiously stanning for Trump reflects unbiased objectivism and anyone who doesn't obsequiously stan for Trump is hideously biased and blinded by irrational hatred.
If you asked "the rest of us" the following question: if a country's leader pulled out of a state visit to your nation at short notice because you wouldn't sell him a significant part of your country, would you find it:
a) A bit odd, perhaps even disrespectful
b) Absolutely normal par for the course everyday diplomacy that is beyond reproach
Outside of the Trump stans and their 'objective reality', I wonder what the more common answer would be right across the world and right across the political spectrum...
That's not really analogous, since California's status is that of a State, not an outlying territory. This is probably something more akin to selling Guam or the Marianas Islands. Although they still have strategic value to the US and the West, so that would be the only reason for the US maintaining control of those islands.
Greenland also has strategic value, particularly at a time when there appears to be rising tensions with the Russians. Of course, Denmark is part of NATO and the US has a base on Greenland, so we can still benefit from its strategic location without actually controlling the island or its government.
But you missed the other point - this is how America acquired most of its territory anyway - by purchasing it from other countries. Florida was purchased from Spain. The Louisiana Territory was purchased from France. Technically, we even paid Mexico for the territories we acquired after the Mexican War. Alaska was purchased from the Russians.
You ask "Why does any country want to keep any of it's sovereign territories?" But there are numerous examples of countries doing exactly the opposite. Why did they do it? And if they did it before, why not now?

Again with the disgusting perversion!
Keep going, daddy.
So the comment that you earlier described as:
"Politley saying "thank you but since we are not doing business right now I will push the meeting back a few weeks""
Is now a troll.
Which is it? Was it a polite rescheduling of a meeting or a troll?
Are you suggesting that there is another reason? What is it?
Also, please note that you are defending the fact that president claimed to be postponing the meeting for petulant reasons by isinuating that there is a more acceptable reason that they're just not telling us for... Reasons.
So, this has now gone from a "polite rescheduling" to a "troll" to a "lie".
You really don't understand how logical analogies work?
Or trolled, or lied, according to you.
Refusing an invitation to diplomatic meeting because they won't sell you land isn't polite. Soo.
See that one flew over your head.
The point isn't that Denmark are upset. It's that you have a petulant, stroppy child for a leader.
The fact that you can't actually acknowledge this event for what it is and have to keep re-framing it this way just proves that you are not debating honestly.
Seriously, just admit that Trump is a idiot already.

The before orange Trump and admittedly I myself had hired undocumented workers, but that's not what we are now all about.

Nah it just means you don't understand how intelligence agencies work.
Yes, and to other countries as well. Had Denmark rescheduled at the last second because we decided to not buy Greenland. I wouldn't have thought twice about it.
So you think rescheduling a meeting is insane behavior.
I gotta say. I think that is quite insane.
You want to make a mountain out of a mole hill here.
It's a mystery!
Possibly, I can't know that reason though, because I am not in U.S. Intelligence.
You just can't seem to keep up can ya.
Not with that many mental gymnastics.
Trolling does not equate to lying.
Oh so we've gone grom rescheduling to refusing now.
Gotta say that's some odd behavior there.
When's the last time you saw a therapist?
Nope but obviously over yours.
Nope we have petulant far left that cry about a polite tweet as being a temper tantrum.
Hilarious considering the OP reframed a polite tweet as a temper tantrum.
What does that mean about you?
Oh he is a brutish oaf.
But he is also hilarious.
I love the way he makes yall squirm!

The Chinese are actually the world's biggest perpetrators of global warming, but please let us not tell the Danes global warming is real; if we are going to get a great deal for Greenland, we wouldn't want the Danes to realize global warming is going to make Greenland green.
