Americans Really, Really Hate Trump’s Greenland Plan, CNN Data Chief Says
HuffPost
Harry Enten turned to a historic example showing just how much Americans aren't in line with the president's annexation push.
CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten recently broke down why President Donald Trump’s push to take over Greenland has got to be “one of the most unpopular ideas” he’s ever heard.
Enten, who appeared on “Anderson Cooper 360°” on Tuesday, turned to a recent Fox News poll that showed 70% of Americans who don’t agree that the U.S. should take control of Greenland compared to 26% of others who do.
“That is more Americans who were for the impeachment and removal of Richard Nixon by the end of his presidency. This is uniformly unpopular, even only half of Republicans support it,” Enten stressed.
Trump and Vice President JD Vance have emphasized this week that people living in the semi-autonomous Danish territory would be better off with America.
Trump, during Vance’s visit to Greenland on Friday, claimed that the U.S. needs the arctic territory for the sake of “international security” and “world peace.”
