Trump wants to buy Greenland

I’ll pitch in. Do they have a hog hunting season?

 

That sounds crazy, but... why not?

The Louisiana Purchase... Alaska... Greenland. I like it.

 

Expansion of freedom and liberty is always a great thing. Start the go fund me now baby! #greenlandforfreedomandlibertyNOW.

 

What's another 56,311 more people.... We can handle that.

 

I'm okay with this as long as Trump moves there as soon as we purchase it.

 

Well, I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away too fast.

 

Now let’s say this is for real, and the President thinks this is a good idea for whatever reason. Should he take it to the Senate for advice and consent, or should he just, like, call it an “agreement” vice a “treaty” and do whatever he wants?

 

He's going to buy it and then rename it Orangeland. WINNING!

 

It is a giant hoax

 

If he needs an appraisal, I have some referrals for him.

 

Seward’s Folly didn’t turn out too bad.

I met a pilot one time who said the irony of Greenland is that it is covered with ice and the irony of Iceland is that it is green.

 

I'd say....
Go for Kamachaka!
Kamachaka!
That way, the Bering Strait is secured and we can keep the Ruskies outta Alaska!
Whaddaya say?!!

 

He better visit this website if he thinks Greenland is as big as it looks on maps. It looks as big as the US but it really is about Alaska size.

Not having read the article, I think the idea sounds great. No real colonization, and new territory. I always thought James Polk should have stuck with 54 40 or bust, but he was just posturing.

Greenland is, like Antarctica, probably just an archipelago, but so what? I like the idea. I think Mike Pompeo does too, since he acknowledges that melting ice caps represent better trade routes through the arctic. It's strange that he's part of an administration that doesn't believe in anthropogenic climate change, but he definitely believes that climate change will be beneficial for trade. Meh.

Greenland is the place many climate scientists visit for a variety of reasons. We could get that resulting money, rather than Denmark.

 

Could be our Australia. Send all our criminals there. So much potential. What’s the prison system cost a year? $182 billion.

I thought this idea sounded like another one of his insane side thoughts that he says out loud and everyone has to pretend it makes sense before ultimately denying he ever said it.

However, thinking more about it, it might not be that crazy. As dang points out, it’s a very important location for global warming. And it could become a strategic spot once the artic melts. Also could represent a decent tourist destination for Americans, ala Alaska.

Maybe?
