Why was JD Vance’s wife initially chosen to go to Greenland instead of an actual government official?

What is she going to do there? She doesn’t have any rights to conduct international diplomacy.

    She’s fully expendable.

    Granted, so is JD.

    JD is a sensitive man. He likely had his team make up fake memes of him looking badass to address the JD face edit memes. Sending his wife is in character for this kind of guy. Trump is even more sensitive because he attempted to overturn an election and incited a violent insurrection because his feelings were hurt over Biden’s win. So of course it wouldn’t be him either.

    She does have the right to do what they had planned on her doing. She was going to visit a US military base, take in some local culture, and try to get some photo ops to make it look like Greenlanders want to join the US.

    That’s the point. She has no rights, responsibilities or controlling legal authority.

    She can act as a diplomat and just claim to be a citizen.

    When anyone points this out, they will yell and scream about people attacking a brown woman was just trrying to help.

    (the rule of law no longer exists in the USA.)

    I mean the first and second partners have historically done stuff like this right? It’s like they are nobodies.

    It’s just a better look having an Indian woman make first contact when they’re trying to not make this look too aggressive and imperialistic.

    False premise. She’s not there to conduct international diplomacy.

    I hate what Trump is saying and doing with Greenland as much as anyone but this isn’t the avenue of attack.

    Her boyfriend made the final decision.
