President Donald Trump’s seeing green…land.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Trump is eyeing Greenland as a potential new addition to the U.S.
He does know it’s not really green, right?
Hell, let’s welcome Puerto Rico into the Union then, we already own that.
meg·a·lo·ma·ni·a
/ˌmeɡələˈmānēə/
noun
obsession with the exercise of power, especially in the domination of others.
delusion about one’s own power or importance (typically as a symptom of manic or paranoid disorder).
Greenland has vast mineral resources, but it is also a vast repository of fresh water, with glaciers that used to be up to 3 km thick. If the US committed to managing its carbon emissions and protecting that massive island from development, I’m all for it. I’m assuming Greenlanders get something out of the deal beyond what they already get from the Danes.
He might let them stay considering they’re mostly white.
He is fucking insane.
Puerto Rico is … you know … too brown skinned for his tastes.
But I’ll bet he doesn’t realize that the actual population of Greenland, even though they’re part of Denmark, is not primarily ethnically predisposed to blonde hair and blue eyes.
Why would Denmark give up such a treasure of resources? Total idiocy. Statehood for Puerto Rico is way overdue.
I don’t think it’s for sale…
Also I get the feeling Greenland’s response to any offer will be something along the lines of “Not no, but Fuck No! ”
Typical Trump, wanting to buy something huuuuge with other people’s money.
Donnie thinks everything is for sale, especially since the money’s not coming from his pockets.
Or Guam or any of the other territories, like that nasty foreign District of Columbia.
Taxation without representation, baby.
There are many people out there that actually think Trump is not a nutcase. Seriously, I have heard.
So now we’re going to learn that melting Greenland’s ice cap is good because it will make mining easier?
i have always thought that someone pitched him with the idea that controlling the polar real estate + climate change = $$.
Lifetime supply of paper towels? Nuclear powered kayaks? No health care for any of the 56,000 residents, I’ll bet.
Might have to rewrite this as *How Can You Buy Sermersooq", but I’m not sure yet how to make that scan in a way that won’t hurt @castor_troy’s inner music critic.
Did he just learn that the US tried to by Greenland in the 1940s and he can do better? That’s my only guess where this idea came from.
Jesus fucking christ, when do the men in the white coats come and take this fucker away once and for all?
I mean, how much more of this ranting, raving lunatic moron must be endure?
Since climate crisis is nothing more than a librul hoax, how about we just put this pig-eyed sack of shit and his racist klansmen on an ice floe and set them adrift? I mean, all that white!
SMDH…
“Two unnamed sources told the Journal that the President has gone as far as asking his White House counsel about buying the island (an autonomous nation belonging to Denmark), though it’s unknown how seriously he plans on pursuing the idea.”
The Trump Business Model: Negotiate a Trump Tower Nuuk Casino and Resort (“Ask about our exciting, new Whale-Blubber Weekend Getaway™ packages, starting at only $499 per night, double occupancy”), and immediately breach the contract, whereupon Marc Kasowitz files suit for misrepresentation (“It’s not actually ‘green,’ Your Honor”), followed by an ugly campaign to publicly discredit Denmark, at which point John Baron and John Miller begin harassing telephone calls, with threats of bankruptcy, additional litigation, and centuries of legal costs, eventually leading the exhausted and financially-depleted Danes to negotiate a settlement, release the island to the Trump Foundation, pay an undisclosed amount (plus attorney fees), and sign a non-disclosure agreement.
(Either that, or invade with Space Force.)
Nuttier and nuttier
