    Denmark spends $661million a year on Greenland that includes healthcare, infrastructure, education etc.

    That’s almost $12000 a year per citizen a year.

    Getting $100k for losing what Greenland gets for being part of Denmark sounds like a selloff and considering what life in the US is, it would be a terrible deal to take

    He is basically offering to pay the same amount that Denmark spends in Greenland in one year, to buy it.

      OK fine but if America buys Greenland they could import school shootings.

              The point was that being a Scandinavian style prison he could use it as Mar-a-Lago style Greenlandic Presidential residence if he added some gold paint, exemplary and sarcastically pointing out what Greenlanders would lose if they joined the US.

      I wish they would handle this like a grift. Have Denmark sell Greenland to the U.S. Then the people of Greenland either vote to be independent or rejoin Denmark/EU.

      Then Greenland has a “civil war.” The rebels want to join the U.S. They get a lot of weapons and training, but somehow lose the war and surrender before a shot is fired.

      See how many time and ways they can sell Trump Greenland without really selling it.
