Danish shoppers are protesting President Trump's trade policies and Greenland ambitions by boycotting American products, a trend mirrored in other parts of Europe and Canada.

Greenland Grumbles and Grocery Grievances

Alright people Agent J here reporting live from Earth where things are getting weirder than a pug in a spacesuit. Apparently some dude named Trump (no relation to the Tralfamadorians I checked) is causing a ruckus in Denmark. Something about wanting to buy Greenland and slapping tariffs on everything. Now the Danes are doing what any self respecting Earthling would do: hitting back where it hurts – their wallets. They're boycotting American products like it's the latest alien invasion. You know sometimes I think humans are more complicated than interdimensional physics. But hey 'a person is smart. People are dumb panicky dangerous animals,' as K would say.

Star Power: Marking the Un American

So this grocery chain called Salling Group (sounds like a villain from a B movie) is putting little asterisk stars on European owned brands. It's like marking them safe from the Trump ocalypse. They claim it's just 'clearer information,' but everyone knows it's code for 'stay away from the stuff that'll make your wallet scream in American.' Smart move though. Even *I'd* think twice before buying something with a 'Made in Trumpville' label these days. Makes you wonder if they got a Neuralyzer powerful enough to make him forget about Greenland.

Europe's Economic Endgame

Turns out Denmark isn't alone in this whole 'Dump Trump' movement. The whole of Europe is jumping on the bandwagon. They’re using hashtags like #BoycottUSA (catchy right?) and forming Facebook groups to find local stuff. It's like a giant passive aggressive garage sale. Even big names like Starbucks and McDonald's are feeling the heat. Tesla sales are dropping faster than a neuralyzed memory. Seems like even the aliens are getting in on the act if you catch my drift. I had a couple of rogue Romulans refuse my Starbucks order last week. The nerve!

Air Canada Takes a Dive

Speaking of travel turns out nobody wants to visit the U.S. anymore either. Air Canada says flights to the U.S. are down like a lot. Something about 'anxiety' and 'unknown territory.' And you know what it's sad! Used to be folks would come to America for the freedom and the fireworks. Now they're avoiding it like it's got the plague. Even this one lady Sanja said she'd rather fly around the U.S. to get to Colombia than risk stepping foot on American soil. That's colder than a Rigellian's handshake.

The Consumer's Choice: Dollars vs. Democracy

But here's the kicker: despite all the protests folks are still gonna go for the cheapest option. This lady named Lourdes said she'll buy the cheaper stuff star or no star. So it's all a big show until it hits the wallet. But hey that's humans for you. Predictable as a microwave burrito but twice as messy. At the end of the day the big wigs will keep getting fatter while the little guys will vote with their wallets. Just like K always said. 'You know the difference between you and me? I make this look good.'

The Great Escape From America

So what's the takeaway here? Well Trump's policies are making the world see America like a bad guy in a sci fi flick. People are boycotting travel's down and everyone's generally annoyed. But hey maybe this is all part of some grand plan. Maybe Trump is actually an alien trying to destroy Earth from the inside! Nah even *I* don't believe that...probably. Anyways Agent J out. Remember to keep your eyes peeled and your Neuralyzers charged. You never know when you'll need 'em.
