Buy Greenland!!!!

[Joes Place]

Though it has vast natural resources across its 811,000 square miles, Greenland relies on $591 million of subsidies from Denmark annually, which makes up about 60% of its annual budget, according to U.S. and Danish government statistics.​

That'll help shore up the deficit, won't it?

Jesus, this man is a joke.

Hey, the elite need a new private island to have their pagan orgies on now since the uh...Epstein unpleasantness. Wait! I mean an island to host many executive planning sessions. And with the global warming, Greenland will be prime tropical paradise soon! Best to buy low now!!!!

 

[NDallasRuss]

Sure, makes sense. He buys it for $2B, then flips it to Russia for $2.2B. He gets to brag about YUGE profits, and Russia gets a place to put their big, new military base.

The Onion’s going to have to close up shop at this rate.

And he can use a military bankrolled national emergency to pay for it. Go troops!

He probably thinks it is heavily forested.

He probably thinks it is heavily forested.

Sure. After all, it is GREENland!

 

[JohnBasedow]

It might be a coveted piece of real estate in 50 years due to climate change.

Poor Greenlanders

Trump's folly.

Csb alert:

We flew over Greenland on the way home last week. It was stunning and a bit freaky.

 

[seminole97]

I saw this the other day and thought it was cool. Using Greenland’s actual tiny size as an excuse to post it.

 

[naturalmwa]

I wonder if Trump would want Greenland for the US or for himself? He’s going to need some place to hide after he’s done being President after all.

How is the action? Are there chicks there?

I’m sure Putin could fly some in to piss on him.

Wait until the GOP finds out they will all vote for Democrats.

[Nat Algren]

It has to be cheaper than going to war with Greenland...no? Hell! We bought Alaska...didn't we? Russia has a head start in the Arctic in collaboration with China and India. Gots some catchin' up to do.

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

Already been tried once. Denmark said, “Ingen!”...

 

[hooper56]

If he could get this done it would be the deal of the century.

 

[SIXERS24]

What are the natural resources there? This could be a great deal.

 

[SIXERS24]

Harry Truman offered $100m to buy the island from Denmark in 1946, an offer that was rejected.

That is wild...

Lots of white people

I found the link to that. It is based on the work of one scientist. The explanation for the shrinkage of countries was based on distance from the equator. I clicked the animation. Countries with the same latitude shrink at different rates. We shrink a lot while at the border with Mexico, they hardly shrink. I think his model needs some tuning. For better perspective I would look at satellite imagery of earth.

Naturally, small minded folks don't understand the great and powerful Trump.

First, you buy Greenland and put up Hotels. You collect Rent on those Hotels when people visit. Then you buy Iceland and you have a Monopoly. Then the Rent on your Hotels doubles, and it will be difficult for people to Pass Go and collect $200 without paying Rent.

When Hitler played, he tried a similar strategy.

 

[SoFla-Hawkeye]

How is the action? Are there chicks there?

 

[hawk-i bob]

this is about one thing and one thing only....Trump's brain thinking about one thing...his legacy.
It's all about one thing....HIM.

Donald J. Trump...a man of one person....him.

 

[hawkedoff]

So not one person can think of a bad reason to do this other than Trump is the one doing it.
.seems like a good idea if the price is right

Jesus, this man is a joke.

How did that Alaska purchase turn out?

Except Hitler over ran countries with tanks and was exterminating people in gas chambers. Other than that yes exactly like Hitler.

I flew over Greenland last summer. Perfectly clear day. Enjoyed having a clear view.

I'd be interested to hear a serious take on the positives and negatives, and what a fair price would be.

We can’t afford healthcare but we can buy Greenland?

It would be a good place for his presidential library.

 

[SoMplsHawkI]

Trump's folly.

His plan is to make Denmark pay for it...
