[FONT=arial,sans-serif]AHD Synonyms: [/FONT] joke, witticism, quip, crack, wisecrack, gag
These nouns refer to something that is said or done in order to evoke laughter or amusement. Joke especially denotes an amusing story with a punch line at the end: She told jokes at the party. A witticism is a witty, usually cleverly phrased remark: "He said one should treat heavy things lightly and light things with gravity, which became a handy witticism" (Natalie Dykstra).
A quip is a clever, pointed, often sarcastic remark: He responded to the tough questions with quips. Crack and wisecrack refer less formally to flippant or sarcastic retorts: She made a crack about my driving ability; he was punished for making wisecracks in class. Gag is principally applicable to a broadly comic remark or to comic byplay in a theatrical routine: It was one of the most memorable gags in the history of vaudeville.

note:
Trump has threatened to use U.S. military force to acquire Greenland. BUT !!
Greenland may not be a listed NATO member nation, but Denmark is.
And NATO membership obligates by treaty member nations to defend against attack.
Thus, if Trump attempts to fulfill his commitment to use military power to acquire Greenland, it may potentially result in a full NATO defense.
