Screw these little whiners. I’ve spent decades in an Arizona controlled by the kind of morons executing the fraudit. Now that Arizona is becoming somewhat purple, particularly Maricopa county, I expect those asshats to try the same thing.

Poor little spoiled baby! Trump deeply insults a nation by stating flat out in public that he wishes to purchase part of it, without any prior discussion, to say nothing of diplomacy, which was and is beyond his childish comprehension, and they’re the “bad guys” for telling him that the idea is absurd. I guess that must have hurt his feelings. Astonishing that such a weak, limited, impaired individual could have reached the Oval Office, and deeply disturbing that between a quarter and a third of voters remain devoted supporters. P T Barnum said, “There’s a fool born every minute”. Never a truer statement.

The Wall Street Journal first reported in 2018 that Trump was eyeing Greenland as a potential new addition to the U.S. The then-President reportedly wanted both Greenland’s natural resources and the legacy of adding a new state to the union.
Just one more reason why I’m a DC statehood fan.

That estimate is way low. At that rate, it would take well over 150 years to generate Trump’s 74 million votes in 2020. No, Barnum was an optimist.

It would be perfectly constitutional to carve D.C. into 50 separate states of about 15,000 people each. Do it and be legends.
(Then, after a few years, enter into negotiations to pass a constitutional amendment to make the Senate proportional representation too.)

How about a deal that lets them do that in return for admitting DC and Puerto Rico as states?
I mean, what’s the difference between choosing which state you want to be in and choosing to be a state? Fair’s fair…

Per Article IV, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, that would require approval of both state legislatures and Congress:
New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.

I have serious doubts that Greenland would want them: they wouldn’t accept the master’s offer, so it seems unlikely they’d want anything but distance from his minions.
Besides which, there are expenses that go with the tragic mishaps that befall those who don’t exercise proper care in an unfamiliar and dangerous environment.

I have a plan, an Infrastucture Plan!
Every rural voter in USA gets a free allotment of legal weed. Can’t sell it, only consume it. Include a bag of Doritos or Cheetos, their choice.

Hey, I’m just glad Trump didn’t get around to selling Alaska back to the Russians. Probably on the to-do list for that second term that thankfully didn’t come around, insurrect as he might.

It’s as if the nation was living in a comedy skit for four years. I can actually hear misters Idle and Jones delivering the words you wrote.

The Pack the Union plan was more ambitious:
To create a system where every vote counts equally, the Constitution must be amended. To do this, Congress should pass legislation reducing the size of Washington, D.C., to an area encompassing only a few core federal buildings and then admit the rest of the District’s 127 neighborhoods as states.
I’m prepared to salute the 177 state flag if it will save the country.

50 seems more equitable than 127.

This issue was outlined in several of the articles associated with this. But what I find even more puzzling is why join Idaho rather than becoming an new state? They don’t gain any new Senators and probably wouldn’t gain all that many House members given the total population.
Of course, secession, like term limits and balanced budget amendments is, more often than not, the province of losers.

Then how about Australia? Can we buy that?
