    I sure hope I am not coming off as serious.....
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    No guarantee Denmark will go for it but you cant hit the ball if you dont swing the bat.

    Given the high international prestige the socialist countries of Scandinavia have, I am pretty sure Danish citizenship confers more appeal and allure that does being the subject of noted belligerent pig Donald Trump.
    I am just an obscure message board poster with no professional training or experience in foreign policy.

    But unlike the porcine President of the United States, not to mention his sychophant message board fan boys, I was aware that Greenland was an autonomous dominion under the Danish crown and you could not just bypass the citizens of Greenland and unilaterally ask the the Danish government to sell it.

    More importantly, I would have been acutely aware that this stupidity would be viewed as highly insulting by both Greenlanders and Danes. It should be noted that Trump fan boys thought this was a great idea.

    Heaven help us if I am more astute about geopolitics than our dim witted President.

    Greenland tells Trump it is open for business but not for sale
    "
    The thought of Denmark selling 50,000 citizens to the United States is completely ridiculous"


    COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Greenland on Friday dismissed the notion that it might be up for sale after reports that U.S. President Donald Trump had privately discussed with his advisers the idea of buying the world's biggest island.

    "We are open for business, but we're not for sale," Greenland's foreign minister Ane Lone Bagger told Reuters.

    Talk of a Greenland purchase was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Two sources familiar with the situation told Reuters that the notion had been laughed off by some advisers as a joke but was taken more seriously by others in the White House.

    Danish politicians on Friday poured scorn on the idea.

    "It has to be an April Fool's joke. Totally out of season," former prime minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said on Twitter.

    "If he is truly contemplating this, then this is final proof, that he has gone mad," foreign affairs spokesman for the Danish People's Party, Soren Espersen, told broadcaster DR.

    "The thought of Denmark selling 50,000 citizens to the United States is completely ridiculous," he said.

    Greenland, a self-ruling part of Denmark located between the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, is dependant on Danish economic support. It handles its own domestic affairs while Copenhagen looks after defence and foreign policy.

    It seems DJT is interested in buying resource rich Green li and from Denmark.

    Its been pitched twice before but they may be looking for cash.

    Sounds fun !
    Even if Greenland was for sale, Trump does not have the funds to buy it?!! Hell Trump does not even have the funds for our decaying infrastructure?!!

    Strategically, it would be a home run. Not going to happen but it does give the loons on the left more to cry about.

    Trump makes you shit your diapers doesn't he? I can't imagine your lunatic rants when he wins re-election. Will you self deport to some Socialist utopia like Venezuela or Cuba? Perhaps kill yourself?

    Exactly. Which is what this is about. Never let twitter or Democrats get in the way of fact.

    What is more bizarre are leftists glaring lack of history or attempts to research. Instead all we get is the knee jerk from you fools whenever MSNBC shrieks out about Trump.

    In 1946, this Arctic island looked like red-hot real estate to Pentagon strategists. From her shores, spies could safely monitor Atlantic-bound Soviet vessels. Plus, stationed troops would likely spot any incoming missiles and warn the mainland from afar. Clearly, America needed to set up a few bases there.

    But one minor problem presented itself: At the time, Greenland was a colony of Denmark and home to roughly 600 Danish citizens. Would the Danes mind parting with it?
