Fox News hosts turn on Trump and fume nobody | TV Shows

Fox News made a major Donald Trump U-turn as hosts Brit Hume and Howard Kurtz slammed the president’s bid to take over Greenland.

The 79-year-old needs the U.S. to buy Greenland, which is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark. In order to obtain this, Trump has said he’ll impose tariffs on eight NATO allies who oppose his take over plans.

Trump’s push to take control of Greenland was mentioned on Fox News’ Special Report on Monday, January 19. Host Bret Baier performed a clip of the Dutch finance minister calling for de-escalation before turning to Hume for his ideas.

Baier requested his co-host, “Brit, we talk about it all the time. We talk about what is said, what is tweeted, versus what is happening.

“You know, the iceberg above the water as far as the eye, and the iceberg below the water, as far what the last word purpose and what’s going to occur. Could that be what’s occurring right here?”

Hume replied, “I’d assume so, Bret, and bear in mind this, if you’re making an attempt to perceive Donald Trump, you possibly can look at what he does most of the time as a never-ending quest for leverage in dealing with other people, other politicians, and other nations. And I believe, as Marc suggests, that that’s what’s going on right here.

“I don’t think he’s going to militarily attack Greenland. I think he’d love to buy it if the Danes would sell it to him. But I think the kind of agreement that Marc has just outlined is probably very much in prospect, at least the president would settle for that.”

He added, “What I do think is this, that his efforts on Greenland have baffled a lot of people. It’s not popular in this country. If he gets a good deal, and we get the use of Greenland for our military purposes, that may all work out for him. But at the moment, he’s underwater on Greenland.”

Baier agreed, “And explaining that to the American people is another part of it, Howie.”

Kurtz also shared his opinion on Greenland, fuming, “Bret, nobody wants this! Not the people in Denmark, not the people in Greenland, and nearly nine in ten in a Quinnipiac poll saying they don’t want a military option — that includes 68% of Republicans.”

The Fox host continued, “Now I think the president’s feeling emboldened after the capture of Maduro in Venezuela.

“There’s already a U.S. army base there in Greenland, there might be more. But I don’t assume it’s an exaggeration to say that this may blow up the Atlantic alliance.”
