Greenland’s foreign minister Ane Lone Bagger tersely dismissed President Donald Trump’s reported desire to buy Greenland on Friday, saying “we are open for business, but we’re not for sale.”
Trump will forget this idea when someone points out to him that there are no Vikings in Greenland any more. At least not to speak of. Most Greenlanders are non-white–they are Inuit.
But why isn’t their flag green?
“If he is truly contemplating this, then this is final proof, that he has gone mad,” said foreign affairs spokesman for the Danish People’s Party Soren Espersen.
From the mouths of Danes…
Trump probably thinks that if you buy Greenland that you also acquire the Minnesota Vikings as part of the deal.
Sorry Trump, there are no Vikings there - of any kind.
Maybe China can lend us the money to buy China and solve all our problems.
Tell trump that floating pile of plastic and other garbage in the ocean is a new land, teeming with items that could be on the trump family crest (fast food wrappers, plus crap.)
Tell him its his own new state and Suggest he would be welcome there. Even better than Elba.
One of the worst things about this is when foreign officials have to respond to the craziness. It’s like you’re fighting with your wife about all the time she’s spending with her new beefcake masseuse because it’s gone from just daily massages to lunches together and long phone calls and the windows are open and somebody yells in from the sidewalk, “Aw, let 'em be together, the heart wants what it wants” and the whole thing is just nightmarishly humiliating.
I’ve sold high end assets my entire life. Everything has a price. Everything is for sale. Add a zero to your offer, look the guy in the eye, and ask “Now, does this work?” You keep adding zeros, you’ll get to a number that works.
Don’t worry, Greenland it was one of his never-ending momentary thoughts about how he could enrich himself. Someone mentioned Greenland to him, he asked where it was located and had visions of golf courses dancing in his head.
“And please inform President Trump that he cannot bring his grandchildren to Greenland to see the ‘bigly penguins’, since there are no ‘bigly penguins’ in Greenland. There are no penguins in Greenland at all, actually. How did you ever elect someone this stupid, People of America?”
Good for Greenland/Foreign minister Ane Lone Bagger!
Trump does NOT need another new sycophantic B***h/Puppet!
It’s telling Trump is rumored to muse about a 51st state being part of his legacy. Predominately black DC can go to hell on statehood. Same goes for those suspiciously Mexican-like Puerto Ricans. But Greenland? Hell, that’s practically Norway! Welcome aboard!
Rather than Green-land, Trump should set his sights on buying Sand Trap-land or Water Hazard-land - they’re more fitting for the way he conducts his ‘presidency,’ businesses, and life.
I’m sure he would not be at all interested in Fair Way-land.
OT: I’m heartened the fevered, committed, almost desperate climate for comprehensive gun control legislation is still front and center in the eyes of Congress and the public. Near total domination of everyone’s thoughts and attention.
In my humble opinion, this should have been the quote with which @discobot began this discussion thread.
Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.
Still shamelessly trying to connive and chisel his way into the NFL. 
Every day the man says stuff that demonstrates he needs help.
Instead of writing articles on much of this, maybe just devote a small corner of the TPM home page titled “Yes, He’s Deranged: mm/dd/yyyy Edition” and have the writers focus on more substantial material.
Nobody takes seriously the idea that Trump would actually buy Greenland.
Everybody knows he’d take possession with a promise of payment to be made later, then fail to pay the debt.
