Trump wants to buy Greenland

[Salvador]

Trump's brand and Ivanka's are manufactured in China.

My Red colored "Make America Great Again" baseball cap was made in California.

I do my patriotic duty of only buying American made products. ....

"The Trump campaign's officially licensed "Make America Great Again," or "MAGA" hats, are made here, at the Cali-Fame headwear factory in Carson, California, just outside of Los Angeles."

Well, that's a first for Trump.

I know full well. I expect him to go after markets which he isn't dependent upon. I will settle for the limited attacks he is willing to do. Beside China could go after his own companies if they wanted. They don't. Both are talking big, the media is spinning as usual but under it all it is just shallow pandering moves of low risk from both sides. Hence why people sudden care about soy beans... No one cares about soy beans until they were told to care.

Soybean farmers in SC lost 137 million dollars this year thanks to Trump. May not matter to you, but it sure matters to South Carolina.

I wonder if the Greenlanders have a culture that believes in free speech or do they just tell people to buzz off?

Even racists can be exercising free speech in voicing their opinion. That is a legal response based on their personal views and their right to voice them. The problem arises when those mentally disturbed bigots decide to take action based on their opinions. And many of those responses are outside of reason, the evidence and the law. Instead, telling those that disagree with them to "buzz off" would be a reasonable and lawful response that is within the bounds of free speech.

I do not know the laws and customs of the native people of Greenland or the founding principles on which it is based. Since they are a territory of Denmark, presumably, there overarching legal structure is Danish.

But given the general principles of free speech, telling someone to buzz off is free speech.

Of course, this is all contingent on the definition of "buzz off".

Trump has fixed that by throwing money at the problem and bailing the farmers that are being hurt by his suicidal stupidity. A very socialistic response to the problem from a "real" Merican.

I wonder how his Duh Heads feel about that or if they even noticed.

I prefer people being told to buzz off rather than being silenced by force of law.

How can being told to buzz off be silenced by law? In the US, we have freedom of speech, but that does not guarantee an audience. Nor does it prevent words from not being heard once they have been uttered.

In this PC world, people are far too easily offended. That would not be a problem if the law did not get involved but in the UK it does.

Yes, you get it. ,, and the $16 billion he's giving to farmers to mitigate his suicidal stupidity isn't his money... It taxpayer money.

Again no one cared until the media told them to.

SC farmers banked on one partner sales; China. Their problem as they limit their market. Find another market or different crop.

US farmers have been subsidized since the 30s. A lot of US farmers have been using failing business models for decades.

Mostly wealthy Republican landowners who collect money not to plant at all. NOT working farmers who are not allowed to take their production to market..

You might want to read up on Federal Farm Subsidies by state and county. The names will be familiar.

I have followed this story for over a year. China bought MOST US soybeans.

How do you think people find out? Farmers haven't been doing well for a while, and it keeps getting worse. Their latest struggles are bankruptcies and suicides. Small farms going under and selling the family farm is yesterday's news of "what those who produce are food are struggling with." We have a functioning nothing without them, so they do tend to pop up in the news every once in awhile.

Ergo a failed business model

They are struggling due to importing competing supplies from nations with no comparable costs.

You still don't understand who gets Federal Farm Subsidies. You're Canadian, aren't you?

Maybe the issue is that the issue of feeding a nation shouldn't be considered a business. Whether or not they make money from a harvest, they are feeding us. Everyone has to make money, but ultimately food is a need. Money isn't.

Centralized government farming failed in the USSR leading to famine. It was abolished in Poland when attempted by the Communists as harvest yields dropped compared to private farming.

Are you a socialist? China is the biggest soybean market in the world.
