Washington The Danish Prime Minister called Donald Trump's interest in buying Greenland"absurd" the same day the President confirmed he had discussed the possibility of the US purchasing the country -- albeit, Trump said, it wasn't a high priority for America.

I wouldn’t take Greenland if you gave it to me.

Think it's just Trump trying to divert attention from all the negative talk about him. But this actually makes him look more delusional. The Danes are not going to sell.

Polluting Trump wants to turn Greenland into a mine site.

in fact, the land is not traded for gold

and he will buy UK as well after the brexit

That’s what we’re saying too! Lol

The USA has proven itself to be a poor steward of the land, Greenland is best left in the hands of its current holder.

Absurd is everything that has to do with Trump and the Republicans.

Is 'absurd' Danish for idiotic or is he just being nice?

Soon China can buy the USA...

I need to issue APB out on jim acosta , he was last seen crying because he got his press pulled. If you see him tell him Americans say DROP DEAD.

When you want to hide the fact that you have NO IDEA how to do the job that people elected you to do - ABSURD DISCUSSIONS - are a good cover! And golf helps to keep your mind from worrying! uspoli Greenland

They don't want an urban sanctuary shit hole transformation?

Plus nonsense, plus idiotic, plus ridiculous, altogether it’s a joke.

scratching label 'US ally' you are always in risk to find behind a label 'US slave'.

Bah. She’s just anchoring the negotiation.

US absurd? Same

Would Denmark consider buying the US?

Thousands of Danish *eye rolls* in Denmark today

Denmark should buy Trump and dump him under thick ice layer.

Seems like the Danish are smarter than the Americans

You are dealing with an absurd individual so why surprised

Købe Greenland. Dear President... 🤯

same feeling

John Delaney's got 5 on it. JuggernautJohn

As absurd as Trump...

This sounds like trump F-ing with the bias media and they are up like cake at wedding.

Well its news from the other side

7 sky

Did Trump sit down with their govt to discuss the sale, or is all this stemming from leftist news overhyping a side comment?

Trump is a total businessman. Accidentally he has become President of US. He wants to buy& sell anything.

The Orange One is an absurd human being so why be surprised?

It seems that Trump in his usual manner is trying to take a little Denmark to fright

The only reason realDonaldTrump wants to buy Greenland so he can find more ways to deny global warming.

Trump is reminding me more and more of that Austin Powers movie, maybe if he looses 2020 he’ll give Hollywood another chance

That's because he never said so!! But if he wanted to Ok it would be a good retirement for him and who knows he just might make it very profitable that is if it has the resources worth buying? Mongering again CNN

I know the Danes are amused, with our media (USA) over reacting to anything Trump, but if you could possible, deploy one of your carrier, battle, groups, in the Persian Gulf. Many of us (Citizens USA) are tired of being your ARMY. Thank you, & God bless.

Well, it was also said that the former host of the Apprentice running for President to prove a point and winning was very unlikely, but here we are...

Now explain how China comes into play...full truth, not partial!

Trump Confirms Interest in Greenland'Greenland is a strategic place up there.' The White House's top economic adviser confirmed Trump's interest in buying the autonomous Danish territory, which has already said it's not up for sale. Can you say distraction Why the fuck is this even a thing? If it's some random thing like buying Greenland then the only thing this could mean is trump is perpetrating his next abuse of power, and assault on our democracy, hoping to keep it out of sight until it's too late to challenge. First of all, the place is called Kalaallit Nunaat. They speak Kalaallisut. They are 90 percent Indigenous. They want autonomy from Denmark and have little incentive to be American. It would be ethnic cleansing. THEY ARE NOT FOR SALE.
