CNN’s Harry Enten reported that President Donald Trump’s Greenland takeover obsession is polling even worse than his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. While public interest in the Epstein files has waned, Trump’s push to acquire the Arctic territory has spiked attention—but in a politically disastrous way. Enten noted Greenland is now “40 points below water” in approval, surpassing even Epstein-related controversies in unpopularity. Though no direct link exists between the two issues, the data suggests Trump’s Greenland gambit may be one of the most unpopular moves of his political career, generating massive attention but little public support.
