The suit stuff aside, what's with his weird grammar? "You have not done a good job by the people in Greenland." In this sort of sentence, "for" sounds much more natural than "by". And I think the common phrase that "Person A hasn't done right by Person B," is more of an exception.
But assuming he did mean it that way, then he's speaking as if the people of Greenland feel wronged by Denmark, but they don't.
In fact, Americans are much more disappointed with Trump and Vance than Greenlanders are disappointed with Denmark. If disapproval rating was the important thing, then Denmark would be acquiring the United States.
I am not a native English speaker but: "do right by" is a construction meaning to treat fairly. I assume that's what he wanted to say.
Also he is talking out of his ass. They couldn't find a single person willing to vouch for him and his wife when they wanted to visit. From tens of thousands of people living there they couldn't find a single person. Greenlanders don't like them.
Yes, I specifically mentioned that "do right by" was an exception, and was likely what confused his grammar.
He speaks like someone trying to sound more important than his ideas are.
Nah, shitty grammar works wonders with his voter base. They feel the kinship...
