During a banquet at the Alfalfa Club, an exclusive organization that brings together CEOs, politicians, and other prominent figures in Washington, US President Donald Trump joked about his political opponents and the annexation of Greenland. Some of the jokes fell flat, and the room fell silent several times.

This was the first time Trump had spoken to members of the Alfalfa Club, which included opponents such as Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, David Rubenstein (whom he fired as chairman of the Kennedy Center) and Jerome Powell (the outgoing chairman of the Federal Reserve), according to The Washington Post.

“I hate so many people in this room. I like most of you. Who the hell would have thought that would happen?” Trump said.

He said he might cut his speech short because he needed to consider invading Greenland, then admitted it was a joke.

“We are not going to invade Greenland. We are going to buy it. I never intended to make Greenland the 51st state. I want to make Canada the 51st state. Greenland will be the 52nd state. Venezuela could be the 53rd,” he said.
