MAGA Lawmakers Pull ‘Pathetic’ Cake Stunt To Applaud Trump’s Greenland Threats | EUROtoday

Some MAGA House Republicans gathered on the Kennedy Center this week to slice up a cake of Greenland coated by an American flag to rejoice President Donald Trump’s threats to annex the Arctic island ― even by drive.

The president backed down from his menacing tone on Wednesday in Davos, Switzerland, however the distasteful stunt lingered on social media.

In one clip, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), alongside Rep. Andy Ogles (Tenn.), plunges the knife into the cake for the ceremonial first slice. “We cut it!” she mentioned.

The half-baked antics drew the ire of Antoine Bondaz, who works on an advisory service for the European Commission, in response to LinkedIn.

“This is how some in the US view Greenland and its people—as a cake to be cut up and shared with smiles and laughter,” he wrote on X. “Sorry, but this is deeply disrespectful and frankly pathetic.”

George Simion, a hard-right nationalist who modeled his marketing campaign after Trump in dropping the Romanian election for president in May, was additionally readily available to chop the cake.

“We will be there for all the free people in the world,” Simion mentioned. As the clip cuts out, he is also heard commenting about having to “get rid of” French President Emmanuel Macron, who has been important of Trump’s aggression.

Trump had threatened to punish European nations that didn’t get in keeping with his Greenland quest by implementing 10% tariffs on them. But he backed off on Wednesday amid an obvious answer. The president mentioned he had arrived on the “framework of a future deal” for the United States’ position in Greenland.

Trump’s announcement prompted Luna to suggest one other Greenland cake occasion.

“In light of recent developments I will be ordering a Greenland cake and inviting members of the press to come cut it with me to have a slice in celebration,” she wrote.
