Trump ranted for 35 minutes in 89-degree heat, calling the prime minister of Denmark ‘nasty,’ repeating his claim that Jewish voters are ‘disloyal,’ and saying it ‘isn’t my trade war’

President Donald Trump ranted about trade with China, the prime minister of Denmark, and Jewish voters being “disloyal” in a freewheeling 35-minute session with reporters.

Trump harshly criticized Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen for calling his interest in buying Greenland “absurd,” which caused Trump to cancel his scheduled visit to the country, calling her remarks “nasty” and “inappropriate.”

He repeated his claim that Jewish Americans voting for Democrats are disloyal, saying, “In my opinion, you vote for Democrats, you’re being very disloyal to Jewish people, and you are being very disloyal to Israel.”

Trump further said he was “chosen” to fight a trade war with China while looking up at the sky, saying, “Somebody had to do it. I am the chosen one.”
