Some of you are clicking this thread thinking it’s a gotcha or a joke but I’m serious.

Of the many brainstorming riffs that Trump has I feel like this was something that was forgotten. This was a solid idea that was ridiculously mocked. Some of his riffs are winners and some are losers but this was a winner of an idea.

I’d like to revisit it.

We could have even bought Greenland and most of Denmark from the Danes for the price of what we sent there.

I think the idea was brought up, perhaps feelers were put out, and Denmark and Greenland said no thanks, we prefer not to be part of America.

Shows how retarded people are to mock something just because Trump suggested it. It would be vital North Atlantic ports and provide some real strategic advantages.

Why do people think Hawaii is a state? It’s certainly not because those assholes like us. It’s because it’s the most important port in the Pacific. Same with Alaska except they’re cool.

No.

We test drove it through the mud and paid rent but will never get the title.

Then it's time to take it to the second step of negotiations.

Next time we need to have some scheduled naval exercises in the North Sea going on at the same time.

Unfortunately for TPTB, they don’t stay bought.

The Biden Administration spent so much money that we are now officially broke.

It's a fantastic idea. Trump should revisit it. Then a bunch of MAGAs can move there in sufficient numbers to turn it from a territory to a state.

Buy Greenland just so we can transform that beautiful land into a diverse, third world shithole?

The next time a foreign invader starts in on Europe proper (not Ukraine), including Denmark, we should set some terms and conditions before again dropping our blood and treasure into that forever-warring continent.

Greenland
Maybe Iceland, too

It's not like the Danes/Europeans don't owe us a favor or two.

We have Air Force bases and space bases and radar stations and nuclear ICBM silos in Greenland already. We kind of already own it practically.
