Don Jr.

MeidasTouch has discovered that Danish news outlet DR News is reporting that the so-called supporters wearing fresh MAGA hats during a visit from Trump’s representatives, Don Jr. and Charlie Kirk, were actually homeless and socially disadvantaged people who were bribed with hotel dinners:

“Several sources now tell DR that a portion of the people who appear in the video from Trump's campaign people …are homeless and socially disadvantaged, who often find themselves outside the Brugsen in Nuuk …which is located directly opposite Hotel Hans Egede.”

Don Jr. and Charlie Kirk had boasted about the warm reception from what was portrayed as a group of Greenlandic Trump supporters. MAGA accounts on social media used the footage of Trump speaking to the group on speakerphone as evidence supporting his proposal to annex Greenland as part of the United States.

Now, we learn the group’s support was likely transactional. DR reported:

“It's homeless and old people who can't make ends meet who can suddenly eat at a restaurant they've never been to before,” says Tom Amtoft, who has lived in Nuuk for 28 years. He recognizes several of the faces in the photos from the visit to Hotel Hans Egede.”

Amtoft added:

“All they have to do is put on a cap and be in the Trump staff's videos. They are being bribed, and it is deeply distasteful.”

DR News also reported on others who were able to identify individuals who traded their supposed "support" for a nice meal at the hotel. One of the men was reportedly found living under a bridge.

In a moment captured by MeidasTouch’s research team, Sean Hannity accidentally called out one of the flaws in Trump’s scheme during an interview with Donald Trump Jr. on his primetime show on Tuesday evening. Hannity asked Don Jr., “How did they get a MAGA hat in Greenland? I’m just curious. I guess you get it on Amazon, they drop it off? Not exactly the easiest place to get to in the world.”

Don Jr. seemed thrown off by the question. “These days you can order anything,” he responded, before telling Hannity he was having trouble hearing him in his earpiece. It appears Hannity accidentally blew a major hole in his story on live television. Paired with the new reporting from Danish outlets, Don Jr.’s reaction takes on new meaning.

This isn’t the first time Trump has staged events.

MeidasTouch has exposed many staged events during Trump’s campaigns: fake pizza deliveries, fake union workers, fake construction workers, staged customers at fast-food restaurants. Why would Trump’s staged events stop just because he won?
