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.So we've outright purchased these lands in our history:
Louisiana Purchase
Florida
Mexican Cession and Gadsden Purchase (SW USA)
Seward's Folly (Alaska)
Philippine Islands (obviously we didn't keep)
US Virgin Islands (from Denmark BTW)
Harry Truman had also approached Denmark about purchasing Greenland in 1946.
But President Trump is absolutely crazy for floating the idea of buying Greenland, again. Greenland has a great potential for mineral resources and could be a very valuable acquisition by the USA. It's no secret that both Russia and China are looking more and more into interests in the Arctic Region.
Because Trump brings up the idea it is laughed at and automatically DOA. I wish people would be more open to actually thinking about things like this rather than automatically opposing the idea just because it came from the "other side". Given our history of land acquisitions, I would say that the President is being forward thinking in considering the idea. Of course, our purchase of Alaska from Russia was laughed at and called a "Folly" and look how that turned out.
As for Denmark and Greenland saying "not for sale". That's fine, you don't know unless you ask.

"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."So we've outright purchased these lands in our history:

I would prefer he buy Sweden.
The other (pointy) part of the Antarctic.The second map? One is Antarctic and not sure what the other one is
Getting Barr to cover up the real reason behind Epstein’s death.What is Trump getting away with while we're all occupied mocking his Greenland nonsense?
Why waste money on Greenland when a totally conquerable Mexico lies to the south?
Its people already invade us seeking a better life. It’s basically a failed state whose law enforcement works for drug dealers. They barely have drinkable water and they throw their poopy TP into the trash and I believe they are now the fattest country in the world since the mothers breastfeed coca-cola directly into the mouth of babes
Tell me more about getting coca cola out of tits, is there a way I can mix some rum in there?
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.

I'd like Budweiser on tap.Tell me more about getting coca cola out of tits, is there a way I can mix some rum in there?
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
We need Greenland to have fresh water for the Mexicans after we annex Mexico.Why waste money on Greenland when a totally conquerable Mexico lies to the south?

I gave them at lot more motion than a second.I second the motion
Denmark has said Trump is insane.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.
Everything is for sale.
Already been tried once. Denmark said, “Ingen!”...
In 6 short years from now.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!
Different times.Yeah, that Harry Truman was a real nut.
Different times.
Trump is a nut.
But, such logic is lost on Trump and his supporters.Indeed. Back when getting real estate closer to the Soviet Union had significant advantages.
Today, not so much.
Yeah, that Harry Truman was a real nut.
That, and the cooperation of Greenland and Denmark, but Trump never worries about details.Time has passed. We need 1950s tax law if we want to do something that ambitious.
I'd be interested to hear a serious take on the positives and negatives, and what a fair price would be.
Different times.
Trump is a nut.
If you don’t understand the difference, there’s no point in trying to explain the details to you.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.
I already said what the positive is: fresh water to bottle and sell as the world burns.I'd be interested to hear a serious take on the positives and negatives, and what a fair price would be.
The colonial era hadn't ended yet. People thought differently.Why so different now, other than the fact that it's Trump vs. Truman?
