The difference between a bunch of kids on a playground and the US president is, that he commands the US military.
(It is weird, having to state such facts now)

So there was an invasion? I missed it.

You can't say the threat isn't there.
I personally think it's about time we get a nuclear program in Denmark.
We don't need launchers, we'll just nuke whatever island anyone invades.

How about you first get a real Danish navy and tell us how many Russian subs are parked off the coast of Greenland at any given time?

There was threats of an invasion.
If somebody threatened you with murder, would you avoid hanging out with them or would you be like "it's just empty talk"? Stop justifying the unjustifiable.

Yes it is exactly that. Childish.

Saying "nothing's happened yet" and "it's dumb" is not making this any better, neither the threat, nor the question of trust, which I think we were discussing here.
Also, while I don't share your assessment that anyone involved is (the equivalent of) a kindergartner: a child with a gun making threats is not a great image. I don't know what your point actually is, but it's not going in the direction of: just normal business between two states, there's nothing to worry about. Not at all.
If you want to criticize the highest ranking member of the US executive for saying dumb things, then get in line, we all agree.
