What is this we hear Trump wants to buy Greenland from the Danes? Why? Oh, it's the oil, stupid.

Will Denmark cave? Will money speak? But with an ever increasing deficit thanks to his tax cuts to the big corporations and the rich like himself, where will the money come from?

So how many times do people have to sit through a repeated lie, before the speaker gets the point that it's not a reality?

Somebody in a meeting pointed out that Denmark was having trouble assisting Greenland and that Trump should buy it. I think it was meant more as joke, but apparently Trump seems to have taken to the idea. I don't think it'll happen but the idea is kind of intriguing.
 
Where would the US get the money? The last offer in 1946 was 100 million which is about 1.3 billion today. Considering the ressources there, the price would be more like 500+ billion now.

That is you could get around the PR nightmare of explaining how the US is buying 55k people.

Good place to send all those brown people!

Wow. Way to pollute an already stupid thread by unnecessarily injecting race.

Ok, in the interests of balance how about we send all the idiot white supremacists there. I suspect the Danes would happily tell Trump to **** off.

Ummmmmmmm, it was a lot of the people on the left who claimed they were going to move with Trump being president. They can all go there.
 
All the global warming loons should be all for the purchase. A place to go that will be cooler and useful in the future.
 
I love how everyone is seemingly treating Greenland as if it is does not have its own population with a right to self-determination.

That there is some vast number of white supremacists roaming the streets of America is yet another liberal lie that you have swallowed whole. At least make an effort to educate yourself. This site really doesnt need another unthinking leftist repeating what he hears on tv.

Denmark wouldn't cave, but we have tried to buy it twice before.

Really?

Portland’s Feared Far-Right Rally Hit by Multiple Setbacks

In repeated social media posts promoting the rally, Biggs called for blood. “Get a gun. Bu[y] ammo. Get your gun license. Get training. Practice as much as you can and be ready because the left isn’t playing anymore and neither should we,” he wrote in one of many similarly violent posts, among which was a picture of a person being suffocated with a plastic bag with the caption “death to antifa.” He repeated the sentiments in a video while holding a pro-Trump baseball bat.

Biggs has not withdrawn from the rally, but began vanishing from social media platforms this week, extremism researcher JJ McNabb noted.

Other, more local far-right brawlers also encountered law enforcement ahead of the rally. Portland police reportedly arrested six affiliates of extremist groups this week, over their alleged involvement in a May attack on a left-leaning Portland bar where they allegedly beat a woman unconscious and broke her vertebrae. Among those arrested Thursday was Joey Gibson, the leader of the far-right group Patriot Prayer. Gibson has previously stoked violence ahead of other rallies.

Two Proud Boys who frequently fight in Portland were charged in spring with felony assault stemming from other fights.
 
This whole thing is completely idiotic.

Did anyone even stop to consider wondering of Denmark, or Greenland was even interested in the proposition???

Or for that matter, the jingoistic chauvinism that we Americans (and Trump in particular) display when this sort of flagrantly imperialistic notion gets floated publicly, and the White House doesn’t even bother to deny it.

It’s time we all looked in the mirror and imagine how we would react if China or Russia openly speculated about buying Oklahoma or Alaska.
 
I don't know, it's been 3 years and thousands of lies and neither you nor Trump show any sign of stopping.

Trump has expressed serious interest in buying Greenland: report | Fox News

Another list of he said, she said reported by anonymous sources.

But, if you want us to use the linked article as some sort of validation I like these two parts:

Trump floated the idea of buying Greenland at a dinner earlier this year after he was told that Denmark was having "financial trouble" with the ice-covered country, but a source suggested the president meant it as a joke.

And the same article points out this:

The president's reported interest in Greenland is not unprecedented. In 1946, the U.S. offered to buy Greenland from Denmark for $100 million, but the Danish government refused to sell. The Journal also reported that the State Department inquired about purchasing Greenland and Iceland from Denmark in 1867.

So there were two real previous attempts to do so versus one joke at it. The biggest problem here is the media hyping it as real, at least to those who do not read beyond headlines and they have people in Greenland worked up about nothing.

Hey, they're the ones who often fancy themselves to be some kind of Vikings, am I wrong?
Not saying that all followers of Odin are automatically white supremacists, I'm saying that a lot of white supremacists want people to know that THEY ARE followers of Odin.

So I guess we have tolerant Vikings and the less tolerant Vikings, or else we have wannabes and the Vikings are telling them to **** right off.
But that doesn't change the popular visual imagery of white sups pretending to be Vikings.
So now here's their chance. Twumpy buys Greenland, gifts it to the W. Supremos and we gather at the dock to bid them all
good-bye as they set off on their journey to their new home, where they will be beaten savagely and speared by the Inuit, and quite possibly fed to orcas.

I like it!

Did I say anything about "vast numbers" or imply that there are? No, so quit making things up, there's a good lad.

In other words, normal anti-Trump nonsense from the multimedia echo chamber.
