I saw that on Washington post. I didn't know Greenland was for sale.

Maybe he wants it so he can keep the scientists off of it so we won't know just how much of it is melting.

I’m not sure wether we should be really worried because he can’t negotiate his way out of a paper bag- he’ll begotiate some horrible deal that will bankrupt us.
OR wether we shouldn’t worry, he can’t negotiate his way out of a paper bag Greenland will play with him for eons and nothing will happen.
I mean KJU is leading him around by the nose making demands of Trump publicly he clearly can’t negotiate anything.

I read that this evening. I laughed out loud; I mean, it's just so fucking ridiculous. But you know Fox News is going to talk it up like it's the greatest idea since putting meat between two slices of bread. 
(And, yes, I realize there have allegedly been offers/signs of interest in the past, but this is Trump, so...)

Hahaha, maybe he's just throwing it out there hoping Denmark will gift it to him, oops, I mean the US, when he visits next month.

It’s not the first time a president has tried it. Truman also tried to buy Greenland.
That said, I don’t know why the fuck he wants it other than he wants it. Another distraction from being a criminal all day every day, I guess.

Honestly, just when you think he couldn’t possibly be more ridiculous, he now wants to buy Greenland. His idiocy knows no bounds.

Maybe he wants it so he can keep the scientists off of it so we won't know just how much of it is melting. That was my thought. Al Roker had a segment on this morning that highlighted how much climate change is affecting Greenland. Seems a little suspicious that the same day trump decides he wants to buy it. |

He also reportedly asked his White House counsel to look into the idea. Some of his advisers were supportive of the move, the two sources told the Journal, saying it could be a good economic play. Others dismissed it as just a fascination.As the Journal noted, it is unclear how the U.S. would go about purchasing Greenland, the largest island in the world.
Roughly 56,000 people live on the mostly self-governing island. (Bet they're thrilled!) Foreign and security policy is handled by Copenhagen. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the Journal's report. ** thehill.com/homenews/administration/457637-trump-has-asked-aides-about-possibility-of-us-acquiring-greenland |

Seriously his stupidity knows no bounds but who I hold accountable are the GOP Congress members. They have allowed the toddler to wander off without adult supervision.

I am open to a swap. I am sure we can round up enough family members and corrupt associates to make an even trade.

It’s like April Fools Day when someone put a For Sale sign on the high school lawn. He must have saw a For Sale sign on Greenland. Please put a For Sale sign in front on the White House.

Does he know they aren't native English speakers? Oh wait, they're not brown so that's OK.

Don't worry, Greenland.
Assuming you were for sale and trump made the deal, the repo man would not be far behind.
