MGGA: Trump has asked aides about possibility of US acquiring Greenland: report

[Ibanez]

We could not muster the $50 trillion required to make the purchase

The Danes will pay for it.

[Skjellyfetti]

“If he is truly contemplating this, then this is final proof, that he has gone mad,” foreign affairs spokesman for the Danish People’s Party, Soren Espersen, told broadcaster DR.

“The thought of Denmark selling 50,000 citizens to the United States is completely ridiculous,” he said.

I'm not hip to all this new terminology so excuse my ignorance. But what is "MGGA?"

[dbackjon]

Unemployed in Greenland. Not a good place...

This would really stick it to PR!

I was waiting for Flaggy to comment on this thread to use this:

Two things:

Make Greenland Great Again

Or with Climate Change:

Make Greenland Green Again

[dbackjon]

Of course they're not that fond of Denmark. What island thousands of miles away from their overlords would be? But, you think they're chomping at the bit to become a territory of the US?


If Denmark does want to sell (no indication they do), Canada would be far more likely.

Hell yes they would be. Who WOULDN'T want to get a seat on that gravy train?

The Greenland New Deal!




Actually, they are already heavily subsidized by Denmark. If they were truly independent, the economy would collapse in about 10 seconds.

Nice.

Nobody is buying or selling Greenland...
and the fact that this is somehow a "serious conversation" because 80 years ago Nations were still shuffling pieces around on the board pre-WWII is irrelevant...

Jeezus Titty Fucking Christ

Each U.S. Tax payer is $220,000. in debt
We could not muster the $50 trillion required to make the purchase

This is a discussion about buying something. Let’s keep the debt out of this, ok?

Debt is good. Besides, Trump said the debt would be eliminated in 8 years. We're halfway there.

Aren't we?

^^^ that is a fair assessment

And it is the main reason why we should not be admitting Puerto Rico as a state, as well

I haven’t read why a trump wants to buy Greenland. So I’ll withhold judgement. On the face - why would we?

You are making an argument for dropping ten states, actually

And the moment PR comes under the full umbrella if statehood their draw will quadruple and the regulatory jump alone will drop PR’s GDP by a fraction

Doesn't matter. What's important is will they vote Democrat or do they just have a bunch of Bubbas and Jim Bobs who will vote GOP?
