Trump wants to buy Greenland. The country

Tip to Greenland: DO NOT hold the mortgage.

Wouldn’t work. The reason Gitmo exists is because it is not on US soil so is (supposedly) not covered by our constitution. On the other hand, when the ice melts we will discover an entire ancient civilization of little people who have been there since the dawn of time, and we can create an alliance with Queen Morgana.

Maybe this is his grand scheme to get more white immigrants—annex them.

After denying that climate change is happening, the fallback of these idiots is to think that warming up the arctic will suddenly turn it into a fertile paradise.

Reality, my ass!

If he were interested in adding a state to the union to bolster his legacy, he could recommend Puerto Rico or the District of Columbia. I think we both know he won’t do that.

Yes, this is it! Though it is less about the land and more about the sea: with decreased arctic sea ice, Greenland’s exclusive economic zone will be of greater strategic importance, for shipping, oil, and defense.

I may be missing some sort of tone here, but I don’t think any of these are inflicted by the gov’t. Mostly they are inflicted by random chance and nature. The idea, I think, is that gov’t should be a useful ally in confronting the difficulties, if not the horrors, of life.

Al Czervik is president. It’s the only explanation.

Which is why no other president has proposed this.

My parents are totally like this. My dad pisses and moans about Obamacare all the time, even though he’s on Obamacare himself and seems rather happy with his insurance :confused:

Does he realize that only 7000 white people live in Greenland, and the other 48000 are Inuit?

Of course he doesn’t.

Calling the arctic sea an “ocean” is giving in to the distortions of the Mercator Projection, isn’t it?

If you picked a random American off the street, I doubt one in fifty could tell you who was president for any state’s admission to the union (including the original 13, since that would be a trick question). I am pretty sure I know exactly what history will remember Turmp for, and adding a state wouldn’t change that. Of course, even if he did buy Greenland, it would take longer than his fat ass has left to become a state anyway, but you know what I mean.

As a North Atlantic island-dweller, the more I think about the prospect, the more violated I feel. I can’t even imagine how Greenland’s utilities are coping with the amount of Silkwood showers people must be taking right now. Does he realise most of its population are non-white non-English speakers? Still… I think I’d enjoy it if he did try, as I’ve always wondered how one says “fuck off, you embarrassingly deluded non-wealthy turd-gurgling half-decomposed reindeer taint” in Danish.

President Trump reportedly referred to Haiti and countries in Africa as “shithole countries” and called for more immigrants from places like Norway at an Oval Office meeting with lawmakers, two people briefed on the meeting told the Washington Post on Thursday night.

Maybe he hopes that Norwegians will emigrate to Greenland Whiteland?

Odds are, this is just another brain-dribble Trump distraction.

Hey, no one said it was a good plan! It’s pretty much on par with most of his ideas.

Last one to propose buying Greenland was Truman. So there’s some precedent – mainly a precedent of Denmark turning down such offers.
