I just missed spilling a cup of tea over my keyboard when I read this. The man is an idiot and needs locking up in a secure unit!
I have to say I agree with the former PM ........... "It must be an April Fool's Day joke...but totally out of [season]!", tweeted former Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen.

actually it would bring him closer to the motherland (Russia) since Russia has also tried to 'take over' Greenland. He may be thinking about gifting it to Putin

Maybe we could just hold off on making major purchases as a country for now. You know, until we get this giant debt situation figured out.
Or does he mean he wants to buy it for himself?

I could get behind this if that is where we get to exile him and his minions. Nope. Why should he get such a lovely island to fuck up?

Doesn’t the US have some type of military installation buried under Greenland’s ice? Maybe that’s what he wants to get his hands on. 😁

I just read that Denmark offered to purchase the USA. Oh please let that be true!! only according to Borowitz I'm afraid
DENMARK OFFERS TO BUY US By Andy Borowitz11:01 A.M\ COPENHAGEN (The Borowitz Report)—After rebuffing Donald J. Trump’s hypothetical proposal to purchase Greenland, the government of Denmark has announced that it would be interested in buying the United States instead. “As we have stated, Greenland is not for sale,” a spokesperson for the Danish government said on Friday. “We have noted, however, that during the Trump regime, pretty much everything in the United States, including its government, has most definitely been for sale.” “Denmark would be interested in purchasing the United States in its entirety, with the exception of its government,” the spokesperson added. A key provision of the purchase offer, the spokesperson said, would be the relocation of Donald Trump to another country “to be determined,” with Russia and North Korea cited as possible destinations. If Denmark’s bid for the United States is accepted, the Scandinavian nation has ambitious plans for its new acquisition. “We believe that by giving the U.S. an educational system and national health care, it could be transformed from a vast land mass into a great nation,” the spokesperson said. Andy Borowitz is a Times best-selling author and a comedian who has written for The New Yorker since 1998. He writes The Borowitz Report, a satirical column on the news.Read more » More:HumorPolitical SatireSatire Get the Borowitz Report in your in-box. Sign up now!

Perhaps he thinks that Greenland is actually 'green' for his golf course, and that Iceland is actually under ice. and he has the two islands confused.

What's awful,is my first thought is he wants it to use as a place to exile people - specifically people crossing the border illegally.

Aides have acknowledged that Greenland will be on the agenda during the dt visit to Denmark next month!
Where does he think the billions will come from to buy Greenland? I guess another tax cut for the 1% might help... And of course the billions he wants to cut from foreign aid. That is except for Ivanka's and Pence's special foreign projects which dt has protected!

From Greenland Ministry of Foreign affairs on twitter:- Greenland is rich in valuable resources such as minerals, the purest water and ice, fish stocks, seafood, renewable energy and is a new frontier for adventure tourism. We're open for business, not for sale❄️🗻🐳🦐🇬🇱
and some of the replies :- Love you, Greenland 💚 Perhaps - you'd like to buy Washington D.C.- Oh wait - it's already been sold to the Kremlin. Americans are working to repossess in 2020.Yeah, sorry about America’s senile grandpa. We are looking into managed care facilities for him.We're willing to pay you a yearly fee to crown Trump king, build him a palace and pretend to adore him at periodic rallies. You don't have to give him any actual power, just Internet access so he can tweet.America is currently experiencing a severe white power outrage. We have all available personnel working round the clock to resolve this deadly stormfront. Please check back with us in Nov 2020. We’ll reach out sooner if the racist snowflakes are contained and removed.The rest of the replies are just as hilarious Here's the link as I have no idea how to link a twitter feed LINK

I was in stitches reading this article from the Guardian - although I was several sentences in before I realised it was satire! Greenland.
