Yes. Even for non-Catholics it's notable because the Pope has so much influence in Christendom.

1. If Denmark doesn't recognize Greenland's self-determination then they are hypocrites.
2. Maybe maybe not. He could also give them way more. There arent a lot of people there.
3. Being an American means you don't care what the rest of the world thinks about you so this point is moot.

The reality is the seller bears part of the tariff so the consumer doesn't pay the entire increase. That's why tariffs have reciprocal tariffs in response. No one wants to admit it because it means Trump might be half right about something.
Tariffs increase prices but not necessarily by the same percentage as the tariff itself.
