I guess the US ambassador to Denmark counts as a lib - she apparently learned of the cancellation via Twitter. So Waldo, you're better off than her: She spent $350,000 setting up for humiliation - you only had to give up what pride you have.
Well, several million Danes are kinda PO'd right now. As is the case with most right-thinking people, they've been sort of entertained by the adults gently explaining that Greenland isn't for sale.
However, finagling an invite from Her Majesty and then "postponing"? That's not how it works - it's a head of state inviting another head of state to be the guest of honor, it's not a voucher. It's pretty much a given that the court will not issue another invitation.
If he shows up later, he can meet with the PM at the airport or the US embassy. As one Danish politician put it (and a right-wing politician, too):"Why not just cancel? We are so busy here with other things."
The Danes need to understand Trump's maturity level and how extremely insecure he is.
Obama planned to be in Denmark at the end of September.
No way Trump would show up and be greeted by protests and the baby blimp and then watch Obama receive an extremely warm welcome.
Everything that the president of the US does is about the president of the US' very fragile ego. It is that simple. Putin and Kim understand this.

Yeah, that's not how Scandinavians roll, though. Serious matters are taken seriously, and egos should be checked at the door. We like to deal with facts and numbers, bluster and posturing indicates someone who can't back his/her position - be it due to lack of homework (tut-tut) or simply that the numbers aren't in his/her favor. No need to waste time on either one, is there?
I don't think America is anymore respected than before.
They can kiss our royal American [@sses].
