If I were a citizen of Greenland?

I would tell Trump go take a hike! I’m being nice there!

He says that he will pay the citizens to provoke a secession from the Denmark government.

Umm! He probably doesn’t plan on paying them for anything?

Ain’t we waiting for our $2,000 checks form all the tariffs?

Ain’t Wounded Soldiers still waiting for his paychecks from 10 years ago?

Oh so many “ain’t” that he has in his pockets!

Never mind most Americans are losing their healthcare insurance & he and his goons are cutting programs to help our own citizens!

Plus many other things that he is doing to cost everyone citizen money in every way possible!

I hope they don’t fall for his lies and scams!

Their assets and property are no longer safe.
And they could be killed or imprisoned.

decided to just take over Saipan and Guam?

What would he do?


The stupidity is astounding, but that's not saying much.

Besides, we already have a base in Greenland.

$10,000 or even $100,000 one-time payment is not going to fundamentally change very many Grenlanders' lives. A survey from earlier in the year showed I think only 3% in favor of being part of the US. The vast majority of the population are smart enough to know becoming part of the US would be a disaster. I suspect a very large majority of the population would say you couldn't pay them enough money to agree to be part of the US.
