http://www.thelocal.dk/20160302/danish-fm-trump-changes-opinions-like-underwearDanish FM: Trump changes opinions like underwear
Published: 02 Mar 2016 10:22 GMT+01:00
One of the many Danes to weigh in on the results was Foreign Minister Kristian Jensen, who painted Tuesdays big winner on the Republican side, brash businessman Donald Trump, as a unpredictable wild card who could be difficult to work with should be become president.
Trump is really like pulling a raffle ticket and wed pull a new one every morning. It would be an amazing roller coaster ride if Trump wins, Jensen told broadcaster DR.
Several Danish politicians have previously slammed Trump for some of his more outrageous statements and even warned that if he were to assume the White House, Denmark would have to reconsider its relationship with the United States.

In his analysis of the Super Tuesday results, in which Trump won seven of 11 states, Jensen said that if Trump is sworn in as the 45th president, it would definitely impact the two nations relationship.
It would have a major impact on the USs stability and cooperation. Because Trump is completely unpredictable. It would be much, much more difficult to work with the US. Because youd never know what he will believe tomorrow, the foreign minister said.
He changes opinions like the rest of us change underwear, Jensen added.
Jensen said that Denmark would be much more comfortable if Tuesdays winner on the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton, is the Americans choice come November.
There is no doubt that it would be much easier with Hillary in the White House than Donald Trump, he said.
We know Hillary. Weve known her as secretary of state and as a politician for many years. We know what she stood for when she was in the White House with her husband, Jensen said.

As long as the Danish nuts stay out of power, who would blame them for "reconsidering their relationship" with the US?
OTOH, if their nuts and our nut all take power they can jointly "reconsider their relationship" with each other in a totally different sense (Germany and Italy from 80 years ago).
