    Even if it were a joke, some jokes aren’t appropriate for the leader of a country to make. Multiple countries are taking him seriously and gearing up to defend Greenland. If I called someone’s house repeatedly and threatened to rob them, I’d probably be arrested and the defence “it was just a joke” would do little good.

      Absolutely. I’m not making excuses, by the way. It’s just that every other shitty thing he’s ever said is passed off as some kind of a joke.
