Thousands and thousands of Danish veterans, their families, and supporters are standing together in Copenhagen, protesting Trump’s deeply disrespectful statements and his mockery of the sacrifices made by Danish men and women who fought in U.S. wars. ❤️

Today, the man behind the satire, German comedian Maxi Schafroth, apologises to the Greenlandic people and to the staff member at the cultural centre who stopped him from raising the U.S. flag. Q: You looked a bit uncomfortable yesterday. Did you underestimate how serious the situation is? “Yes, and I underestimated the significance of the flag to Greenlanders. In Germany, we are not particularly proud of our flag. We don’t raise it in our backyards,” Schafroth says. “I understood that immediately when I saw the reactions,” he adds. “The police officer said yesterday: ‘You are walking a very thin line.’ Yes, I said, that’s the point — and when you cross the line, there is nothing to do but apologise and say that it was not the intention,” the German comedian explains. The comedian was immediately asked to put the flag away. —DR

It was a person from the German satirical programme extra 3 who was behind the incident with the flag - and the individual was fined by the police on the spot. This was stated by the broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk, which airs the programme, in a comment to TV 2. According to the statement, the individual “pretended” to raise the flag as part of filming for a satirical production addressing U.S. actions related to Greenland. It is emphasized that at no point was the intention to make Greenlanders the target of the satire. “The editorial team expresses its regret to the Greenlandic people if such an impression was given,” the statement says. —TV2
