This is like that scene in Billy Madison where: 1 - Billy asks a little boy to trade a banana for his snack pack 2 - the boy shakes his head 3 - Billy says 'you know how badly I can beat you right?' 4 - The little boy smiles and nods Eery parallels here

Nice try though. Just putting up a trial balloon to see how it's taken. No harm, no foul.

Hong Kong better than Greenland 😀😃🤠

I am sure for the right price they will change their mind then we will discover oil and gas

Why Greenland? For his Golf Clubs? Department of Interior to lease him for one dollar millions of acres in pristine wilderness lands?

Never say never. He just might pull it off. He is a deal maker. Good strategic move by him if he does it. Apparently they are losing millions of euros in supporting Greenland. Welfare dependent.

Haha I knew it !!! That fucking buffoon in chief is an abomination ... even to think such a thing is ludicrous !!! Howeber I guess coming from the idiot proposing it then It actually isn't so absurd or preposterous after all !!!

SteveKopack greenland is an ice cube and i would think Denmark would want to unload it as Copenhagen is full of their undesirables.

Maybe Trump should try buying the Brooklyn Bridge, instead.

Trump is pretty much hated by all civilized people in the world, I'm sure the good people of Greenland hate him too.

Trading of advanced infrastructure will yield money in Greenland. No temporary budget will go into waste. So more income.. FoxBusiness

If Denmark is broke, Greenland might not have a choice...

Talking to Trump is a waste of time, only the crazy person understands what the crazy person says.

he was quoted as saying we need more green grass in our portfolio!

Why the F would we want to buy Greenland for..........🤨🧐 wait a minute.... yes ! It will be where we send trump for his retirement!

Invasion?

Dear Greenland, He will rape and pillage your beautiful country. Please don’t let him anywhere near you.

Next he'll call Greenland fat.

Massive rare earth mineral deposits. More than likely partly from the impact that killed off North American Mega fauna

Good Grief Folks it's just Smoke & Mirrors 😖
