(129,329 posts)where those brown people, who would probably be mostly Democrats, can't vote in federal elections. The indigenous Greenland Inuits are accustomed to Denmark's universal health care and other social programs, so they'd probably want to be Democrats too. If Greenland were a state they'd get one representative and two senators like Wyoming, and they'd be Democrats. Trump doesn't want two more Democratic senators.
It's not going to happen, though.

among investors with a keen eye for opportunity. At the heart of this narrative is Howard Lutnick, a key figure in President Trumps administration, who has emerged as a potential player in the unfolding saga of mining investments in this strategically located territory.

(1,840 posts)The thing they billionaires running Trump policy keep pushing is the creation of a tax free haven where billionaires are a law unto themselves, a la Curtis Yarvin. The whole reason Trump pardoned the former Honduran president is because he's helping them set one up in Honduras. Now they're looking at the the same thing for Greenland, where a handful of unaccountable billionaires can completely take over and run it as a feudal fiefdom free from taxes for themselves and civil rights, labor laws, and environmental regulations for their serfs.
Honestly I think this whole Greenland thing is a feint. No billionaire wants to live in a mostly barren frigid wasteland in even if they get to basically be an absolute monarch. What they're really planning is to implement this same strategy in Cuba. It has a much nicer climate, is much more conveniently located so it's much easier to pillage all its resources. The main inconvenience is the 11 million Cubans who are in the way. Not that that will stop them.

And they have... they get it.

He'd build a gulag there, too, to deport people seized at court immigration hearings to.

He's totally neglected the U.S. states that were damaged during the 2024 hurricanes. He has a home in Fla., but still hasn't bothered to reimburse the state for restoring damaged public facilities (electric companies, roads, bridges, etc.). That's caused electric bills to double and local taxes to rise.
