Buy Greenland!!!!
- Thread starter Joes Place
- Start date
Let's focus on the US first instead of purchasing a territory that in the long run will likely cost in the trillions of dollars before it's all said and done.
Trump would do this strictly to satisfy his ego, not for any potential good for the USA.

Only if the ice melts.........something he says is a hoax, but if that actually happens then that money would be better spent elsewhere in moving our population away from the coasts.
"If he is truly contemplating this, then this is final proof that he has gone mad," Soren Espersen, foreign affairs spokesman for the Danish People's Party, told local broadcaster DR. "The thought of Denmark selling 50,000 citizens to the United States is completely ridiculous."
I would prefer he buy Sweden.
Ugh....I'm sure our resident Conservatives are puking all over themselves, thinking of these commie Swedes with:
- Free college education
- Free, state sponsored healthcare
- Limited gun ownership rights
- Liberal abortion rights, solely decided by the pregnant women until the 3rd trimester
I'll give him credit for not just tweeting out the idea. At least it sounds like the considerations were internal, for awhile.
What is Trump getting away with while we're all occupied mocking his Greenland nonsense?
Getting Barr to cover up the real reason behind Epstein’s death.
"Greenland of 2019 may be very much like the Amazon of 2016, with limitless potential ahead, justifying a price-to-earnings ratio of 847. That would give the island a price tag of $1.7 trillion, a steep price for sure, but on the other hand just a little bit more than the cost of the Trump administration’s 2017 tax cuts."
"To recap, the estimated range is $200 million to $1.7 trillion, which as suspected comes with cartoonishly large error bars. And it’s a moot discussion anyway, as Greenland has made clear there’s no deal to be made here."

Tell me more about getting coca cola out of tits, is there a way I can mix some rum in there?
Oooh....a little genetic engineering, and we might have thousands of white people pushing for more immigration across the southern borders....
You guys talking about buying Greenland. We’re broke. We don’t have the money to buy anything. We can’t even afford health care for our people.
Pshhhh...we ain't 'broke'.........."Hey, Mnuchin!!!! Print us up s'more money!!!!"
We don’t need Mexico. We already have Texas.
Yep, in my cartography class we went over map projections and how none will show an accurate size, shape, and direction.......projections will only represent one of those accurately.
Till now
This is how they got it:
Finally, a World Map That Doesn’t Lie
Thanks for saving me the trouble of finding that. Although all these geniuses COULD have just opened up google earth...
I was simply pointing out that the USA has a long history of purchasing territories. Greenland has popped up on the radar as a potential territory we might like to buy at several points in our history. From what I have read it came up in the 1940's and 1970's.
It's the reaction that people have that Trump has now officially "lost it" that is incredible here. The WH discussing an idea that has been discussed a few times over the last century by other administrations, but now it is absolutely insane.

We need Greenland to have fresh water for the Mexicans after we annex Mexico.
I mean why let all that great fresh water just run off into the Atlantic? Bottle it and sell it.
Denmark has said Trump is insane.
It’s insane to discuss buying Greenland in today’s culture. The fiscal and physical logistics would potentially cost trillions. This is not something a person with all his/her mental faculties would entertain.
So, you think it is possible Greenland is for sale. Do you really want to go on record as saying you think Greenland is for sale? You would risk your reputation and credibility? The Orange Turd is such a buffoon he doesn't have the brains or sense to consider the consequences of making statements like this.
Worse, he doesn't have handlers to tell him to shut his mouth. A walking, talking embarrassment generating machine. JFC, when will this be over!
Indeed. Back when getting real estate closer to the Soviet Union had significant advantages.
Today, not so much.
But, such logic is lost on Trump and his supporters.
Time has passed. We need 1950s tax law if we want to do something that ambitious. Of course Trump is blowing up our deficit in good economic times. Just another spend and spend Conservative.
That, and the cooperation of Greenland and Denmark, but Trump never worries about details.
Why so different now, other than the fact that it's Trump vs. Truman?
Never mind. I answered my own question.
If you don’t understand the difference, there’s no point in trying to explain the details to you.
This is why/how a moron was elected, albeit it compromised, to the office of presidency.
I already said what the positive is: fresh water to bottle and sell as the world burns.
As for price, we saved Denmark from Hitler, so I say we just take Greenland and call it even.
The colonial era hadn't ended yet. People thought differently.
