Did Greenland's parliament introduce legislation to ban Donald Trump and all his descendants for 100 generations?

No real news outlet reported such a ban, which would have been international news while Trump was publicly saying he would annex, buy or conquer Greenland.
The story arose in a Jan. 14, 2026 X post (archived here) on the@HalfwayPost account with text that read:
