Trump Eyes a New Real-Estate Purchase: Greenland
In conversations with aides, the president has—with varying degrees of seriousness—floated the idea of buying the autonomous Danish territory

WASHINGTON—President Trump made his name on the world’s most famous island. Now he wants to buy the world’s biggest.

The idea of the U.S. purchasing Greenland has captured the former real-estate developer’s imagination, according to people familiar with the deliberations, who said Mr. Trump has, with varying degrees of seriousness, repeatedly expressed interest in buying the ice-covered autonomous Danish territory between the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans.

In meetings, at dinners and in passing conversations, Mr. Trump has asked advisers whether the U.S. can acquire Greenland, listened with interest when they discuss its abundant resources and geopolitical importance, and, according to two of the people, has asked his White House counsel to look into the idea.

No a 51st state. He loses 3-5 billion a year. He has no money except what he is self enriching off the presidency.

How in the hell is Trump going to pay for his tax cuts, get money for the wall, and buy Greenland? Where in the hell is the money going to come from?

Don't forget his healthcare plan that he's going to announce any day now.

If Mexico pays for Greenland, that means that they own it, not us.

Then we could declare war on California and invade. Martial law will follow.

So Mexico would have owned our wall?

Or we could go old school and just claim it. What's Denmark going to do, throw used hypodermic needles at us?

 

[ABikerSailor]

If he can't get money for the wall he promised, how in the hell is he gonna get enough to buy Greenland?

Is he looking at this as his Louisiana Purchase?

 

[whitehall]

The operative phrase is of course "varying degrees of seriousness". Unfortunately the WSJ seems to no sense of seriousness.

Denmark is part of NATO, and if we invaded, there would be a lot of countries allied against us.

Greenland has minerals like crazy under the ice cap.

We would have to pay for it before we could start mining it. Where is the money for the purchase going to come from?

Smart man, as the planet warms more Greenland will be less and less ice covered and all those resources will be there for the taking.
