It doesn't make sense at all, we've passed the age of colonialism where you just go through the world and buy whatever land you saw.
And there's no money for a proper health insurance, but to build useless walls and to buy a peace of land in the size of the US?
Let me guess, Trumps enterprises would be getting the monopole for all the oil and gas under Greenland? That is why Russia tries to shift their border to Greenland since two decades.
Greenland is rife with natural resources and is in a strategically valuable position.
Also, it was an offhanded comment that got everyone freaking out, and this is nothing to do with colonialism as it was in the 18th century, so much as it's a single remark getting blown way out of proportion. Why are you turning it into a personal attack against my country?
Now sure how you would expect a sitting president to legally acquire federal resources for personal gain. Do you have any idea how many federal and governmental bodies for BOTH countries would actually need to be involved with this if it became serious? Also, by your own admission Russia has already attempted to do the same thing, rather forcefully, to meet the same end because of how rich in natural resources this country is. I'm not even a big fan of Trump but people like you get so caught up with just hating the guy that people cant even see past the orange hair to any logical move competed by the administration. Of course all of this is a moot point since the original suggestion of purchasing the country was a joke.
Considering Greenland already contracts the US for military and security operations upwards of several million dollars a year to protect their interest and resources, their nighter than thou attitude is a bit hypocritical.
