I don't know if Americans realize what happened between the US and Denmark.
No matter whom I listen to, the feeling is the same: Our bilateral relationship is dead.
I grew up in a country filled with gratitude towards The US, because of The Normandy Landings. The US was loved.
The feeling now is anger. Our Kingdom has been threatened twice in 100 years: Hitler's occupation and Trump's attempted annexation of Greenland.
It saddens me, but I sense this will not easily be forgotten.
@randahl and it just gets worse.
In Australia we wake up every morning wondering what stupidity has erupted from the mouth of that poisonous moron. Todays it is this:
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/23/frankly-appalling-uks-starmer-slams-trump-over-afghanistan-commentsThe parallels with Hitler are clear. The world must unite against that manipulative, malevolent, ignorant narcissist. Your views are shared by all nations that once looked at the US as a friend.

It stuns me however that it had to come to this, before sentiment flipped, when there's been so many previous examples of the same kind of disrespect.To be fair, it's not so much the US as a whole (the majority do not agree with the administration), but Trump and his fascist pack.
@jgivoni respectfully, you must accept that the rot within the US runs far deeper than "Trump and his fascist pack" from our point of view.
Understand that we don't hate the American PEOPLE (well, not the two thirds of them that are not fascists at least), we feel sorry for them...watching their country as they have known it disintegrate is unimaginable! But also understand this: the US has suffered a broad, systemic sociopolitical breakdown, and "voting the bums out" will not be the end of the problems, it is merely the first step in a healing process that could take many years, decades even, to fully sort out.

@randahl the trouble is most people in America won't know or care & don't have a passport.
They are very insular in and care little for world news.
I don't know if things have changed but their news focus used to be this order;
My local big city
My State
Federal

That is not just the case in Denmark, I can accept Americans citizens, always have done.
The government has been evil for too many years to count, now Europe, at least most of it, is waking up to the fact.
GET US TROOPS OUT OF EUROPE
They are a danger to our safety not an asset. -

General Bone Spurs is consistent with his idiocy if nothing else.@feather1952 @randahl he has two now: his board of peas [sorry] and the lack of gratitude by Canada. But yes, the next one is in the making: he will never be satisfied.

@randahl Too right. Most of the people I currently speak to in Britain want the country to cut ties with America completely, which is so sad after Normandy and WW2 but totally understandable. American voters have been unbelievably stupid falling for Trump’s old school far right rhetoric. The lessons of history are clearly fading with a new generation, and a new world order’s arising. I have a very uneasy feeling it’ll all end in tears…

@randahl This wasn’t a misunderstanding — it was a break in trust. For decades, Denmark’s relationship with the U.S. was rooted in gratitude, shared history, and respect. When sovereignty is spoken of lightly, it reopens old wounds and turns admiration into anger.
Trust between nations, like between people, depends on respect. Once that is publicly questioned, the damage doesn’t fade quickly — and it isn’t easily forgotten -

Democracies in the West should work as 'universal healthcare' works. Back in the 40's Germany got sick and all chipped in to cure it from the disease. This time it's the US that needs help.

@AGT But the Europe isn't much better. UK left the EU because of similar lies. The right wing extremists are growing everywhere. Not even Germany is excempt. We are all being influenced by russian troll factories as seen in several leaks and accidental doxing by twitter.

@randahl There are a few people in Denmark who still believe USA is our closest ally, those people are all found on Christiansborg.

It's the same in Canada and I fear the only way for the US to recover is with extreme measures.
Mass executions.
Trump and his entire administration have to go. The leadership in both houses have to go. State level Republicans who let him on the ballot have to go.
So many people have to go that the next Trump-like person to rise will be killed by their own party to protect they own lives.
It's the only way I will trust the US again and I've talk to many who agree.
Not extreme measures, no executions, it's something simpler: Courage. Courage from the Senate, the house, and judges. Courage also from the people in peaceful protests.

@randahl I appreciate the comments in this thread. It solidifies, even if only anecdotally, the on-the-ground anger that I wasn't sure that Europeans were feeling. As they should. I just wish the leaders would act and isolate the disease following Mark Carney's sober assessment.
Some of us knew everything was over the night of the election (and before it, if this unthinkable present came true). European leaders should have known it too. I hope for the world they're at that point now.

Conviction cannot just stop it Donald Trump. The billionaires who put him in power and who push this agenda of annexation, so they can have the spoils distributed amongst themselves, they too have to be dealt with.. the way to deal with them is to make billionaires not possible. No one should have that much wealth. The companies that make that level of wealth possible should not be also be possible.

It's not just Denmark — it's all of Western Europe!
Trump has torn the USA out of modern Western societies(a fact that's been clear since March 2025).
The USA _was_ the heart of modern Western societies.This vacuum has yet to be filled; I have absolutely no idea where we are heading.
Even if Trump dies within the next year and if Vance blows up the rest and MAGA implodes, everything that happened last year — and is still ongoing — will shape the next decades.
This is a fact I am fully aware of, and it will shape the rest of my life...

@randahl They've lost the majority of Americans as well. The only things the junta have going for them at this point is control over instruments of violence and money conduits.
It's bigger than that. America has turned its ugly side towards Europe, and we cannot help but see it. You could compare America to Harvey Weinstein—harassing everyone for decades, but while we have been disgusted in private we kept diplomatic ties because of power relations. Well, now that it became targeted at us the facade is broken, we cannot pretend not to see it any more, and we are embarassed to ever have been associated. It goes deeper than your current leadership.

General Bone Spurs is consistent with his idiocy if nothing else.The orange one is just the puppet for the Republican Party/Project 2025.
Yes, his mental decline and overall madness adds to it, but it will only get worse when he's gone...
To get this shit-show fixed you have to get rid of the Republicans (party and those who voted for them). -
@notsoloud @randahl And now that you mention it
@martinvermeer
Yeah, I thought about that, but this was also part of clearing the Germans out, so not a completely obvious threat to the country. But people were relieved when they left, it wasn't a given thing.The Soviet invasion plans for Denmark, complete with gas attacks, amphibious landings and nuclear attack were very different.

@randahl Russia delivered Europe and the nazi camps, not the USA. USA wanted to administrate France after the D-Day. De Gaulle took them by surprise re organising the territory into departments. Since, USA lies about WW2. It's time to remember the true history. I'm french and i'm soooo sad to consider it that way.
