OT Trump Wants To Buy Greenland

[ABM]

Global warming threats are over, baby!!

Greenland is not for sale

 

[Chris Craig]

If the USA somehow did buy Greenland, would the people there become automatic citizens or would they all be considered illegal aliens and be deported to Denmark?

LOL. That's a good question!

BTW, Trump is considering gathering up around 100,000 of our homeless and placing them on the border of Greenland to see if they'll take them in.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Greenland is not for sale

Everyone has a price.

Trump just likes the name....reminds him of money....Trump sparkling Greenland water! We'll sell it to that shithole country Puerto Rico! I gave them paper towels once...they were great paper towels...the crowd was immense...everybody loved me...I shook the Puerto Rican presidents hand!

The ones who immigrated from Norway to Greenland would be allowed U.S. citizenship.

Greenland is:

88% Inuit
12% Danes and other Europeans.

 

[MARIS61]

A mere 56,000 citizens. Of course it's for sale.

Offer $10,000,000 to each citizen, done deal.

Well we know how things worked out for Natives here

$560 Billion? Why, I've got that in my back pocket.
Hey, we spent more than that on the last tax cut for the wealthy.

 

[MARIS61]

The U.S. proposed buying Greenland in 1946 for $100 million after toying with the idea of swapping land in Alaska for strategic parts of the island.

It's working out great for every Native American like myself who believes in personal responsibility, personal freedom, and personal growth.

Same goes for legal immigrants. America is the greatest country in the universe.

This is not 1946.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

More like 1936

This is good planning. He is already planning his own Elba.

Of course, this is also bad planning. Greenland is not green (golf) nor warm. He would be better off buying Elba.

But, I think gold colored glaciers are the shiz, so there's that.

 

[barfo]

He could rename it Goldland, although Trumpland is more probable.

I, for one, am tired of all this winning.

I haven't looked into this really at all, but I trust you, so what is the deal with this?

Is there any particular reason why to buy Greenland? Do they want to be bought?

I have really no opinion whatsoever on if this is "bad" or "good".

I was just (ironically) referencing the below quote from the debates after I read that his idea of buying Greenland was immediately met with a response from Denmark, something like, and I'm paraphrasing: "Lol. Gtfo."

“We’re going to win. We’re going to win so much. We’re going to win at trade, we’re going to win at the border. We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of winning, you’re going to come to me and go ‘Please, please, we can’t win anymore.’ You’ve heard this one. You’ll say ‘Please, Mr. President, we beg you sir, we don’t want to win anymore. It’s too much. It’s not fair to everybody else.’ And I’m going to say ‘I’m sorry, but we’re going to keep winning, winning, winning, We’re going to make America great again.”

Which is a lovely historical anecdote but does not dispute the claim it is just a distraction gambit one bit...

Good answer.
Hey. wasn't that when Hitler was consolidating his power? Nah, you couldn't mean that.

“Based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting,” President Trump wrote in a tweet Tuesday night.

LMAO Trump is mad he can't buy Greenland. Called off trip to Denmark. So much winning

We already have a military base in Greenland. Thule Air Base.. But is more than just an air base.

The U.S. must take Greenland by force

On Sunday, Trump confirmed that he would be interested in buying the territory from Denmark and that “we’ll talk to them” about it. “Essentially, it’s a large real estate deal,” Trump explained, reasoning that Denmark might be willing to part with the huge land mass because “they carry it at a great loss.”

The great Danes reacted indignantly. “Greenland is not for sale,” Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen proclaimed on a defensive visit to the island Sunday, calling the idea “an absurd discussion” and saying “I strongly hope that this is not meant seriously.”

Fighting words! There is only one proper response to such intransigence: The United States must take Greenland by force.
