The replies to that tweet are hilarious.

This would be amazing for the USA if we could ever do it. Puerto Rico is a dead weight shithole. We need to grant them independence.

It's not unprecedented, the last time the U.S. did something similar was in 1947.

Are you familiar with the Louisiana Purchase?


Edit- something similar was proposed in the 1940s.

Denmark wouldn’t give it up, makes them bigger than everyone in Europe but Russia I think.

Trump also threw out the idea of buying Greenland. Denmark's current Prime Minister (and previous PMs) was complaining, publicly, about how much tax revenue goes to subsidizing Greenland, like it was a massive burden. So Trump threw out the idea of buying it. IMO, a very interesting idea, considering the mineral wealth and tourism potential Greenland has. Also, Greenland is part of the North American continent, not Europe. People who impune the idea keep their brain in a box

Greenland could also have some substantial strategic importance...

I figure that a frozen wasteland with virtually no people living in it should be worth far more than a piece of shite island full of people and corruption but no resources.

Last time we made a deal like this we got Alaska out of it and that turned out good.

Would give us a great location in Arctic shipping lanes, access to more natural resources, and would allow us to potentially close a military base in Europe since those ungrateful fricks don't want us there.

Also, we would get rid of the corrupt money pit that is Puerto Rico. Sounds like a win win.

That's a great trade.


When global warming hits full bore, Greenland is going to be like Hawaii.

It would be an ideal place to launch long range planes as well as ICBMs...

Greenland is stacked with rare earth metals.

Never happen.
