He is a moron....the rest of the world is laughing at us!!!!
Donnie should just buy the Brooklyn Bridge and get it over with.
Good to see he understands the meaning of the word 'no'.
I cannot imagine buying Greenland until we have brought Puerto Rico back from the horrible devastation from recent storms! PR needs dependable power service, safe and clean housing, schools up and running, resources to feed those who have lost their jobs.
ROTFL
Yeah with all that glacier melt he wants to mine the shit out of it and throw some military bases on it. Go figure.
Why?🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
I will say again; we cant afford cheeper college or medicare for all, but we can buy greenland? Hey, he probably figures at least it would be white territory. Douch bag of a president
NPR I enjoy your content, but why is this still getting airtime or attention? I mean sure, it makes for an interesting mention but unless there has been real progress seems like a fluff piece at best or a distraction from more serious controversy
That would of been a big boon for this country if it would of happened.
Of course, he would rename it Trumpland.
I vote NO!! Idiot
POTUS is clueless. His handlers should get him out of there. He is making himself seem even more stupid than before. Maybe he heard about the ice melt and thought he could get it for a 'really good deal'?....
They called the US purchase of Alaska 'Seward's Folly'… But they aren't laughing now, are they? YellowJournalism TheDemocrats
Good grief.
Denmark straight said this confirms trump has lost his ish
distraction
What a jackass, doesn't even have money to pay the federal workers he wants to buy Greenland? Is this serious? Or am I in a circus
I think they said no.
No joke. He is a moron of biblical proportions.
Joke! Anything to take the focus off of a degrading economy; rectify the downward economic trend and stop BSing the American public with absurdities like buying Greenland... Where is trump’s brain hiding?
I’d compare it to a red herring.
Illegal safe haven for child molester and Rapers and pedophiles
Welp, I guess WeThePeople will have to hand back all that tax cut money DonnyT made us rich with so we can pay for the damn land.
A ”Trumps Folly”? Greenland might sell for about a trillion dollars give or take a billion or so. Trump will obtain loan from German banks along with silent Russian investors to buy the Island. Once owned he will inaugurate himself as King.
No, the joke is on us
Lord.
I bet the plan includes printing $$ to buy it. 🙄
So he can build some cheesy casinos to bankrupt?
Alaska was such a bad deal, right?
BassRck4 No joke. As long as this pathetic individual is pretending to be our 'President'? I'd much prefer Denmark bought us. Seriously.
Denmark_UN denmarkdotdk DanishMFA WATCH OUT DANES
Actually, I'm very anti-Trump, and this idea does sound like a joke, but if the deal was made and the people of Greenland supported it I would be completely on board.
This is not like buying Alaska. Not at all. Not even a little bit. 🤦🏻♀️
With what more debt?
A bit incongruent too representing the 33rd degree of the Scottish Rite. Greenland is not for sale....the rightful owners should be more exactly qualified.
Why? So he can bankrupt another country!
absolutely f ridiculous
It’s not for sale.
Greenland Repeating the absurdity of past presidents has reached height of absurdity in Trump's presidency since he can't even pay for the health of Americans, also letting Americans bleed to death on streets by gun violence
He knows he wouldn't get to keep it after he's out of office... Right?
Go ahead, add another trillion to the deficit. What the hell.
On this issue I think Trump might be right. Even a blind and dumb squirrel sometimes finds a nut.
distraction
🤪😂
Perhaps we should buy the whole world and rename planet Earth ... planet Donnie?
Imagine if we just started ignoring the stupid shit Trump says and focus on the things that matter, rather than letting him control our attention like a we're a bunch of cats and he's got a laser pointer.
What part of the NO response he got does he not understand? Just trying to cause more distractions?
I hope not. Under his management, the ice sheets will be gone by the time he's defeated for reelection.
So, he and all the Magats can live their and America will be saved?
Sure, Bankrupt America just like you've done so many times.
According to my map.
Idiot!
It’s roughly the same size as North America.
He wants to suck it dry and then pretend it doesnt exist like PR
America is 22 trillion dollars in debt, growing by over 1.2 trillion each year, as the budget deficit and economic mismanagement explodes. Trump will bankrupt America, making it default on its loans, as he always has with his own businesses. He thinks it’s how business is done.
He wants to turn Greenland into a shithole country like he's done to the U.S. - NO THANKS! realdonaldtrump Everything he touches goes bankrupt or fails, why would the world want to add Greenland to his long list of failures?
Strategy is moot when your tactics are ruining the nation.
What was it that the buying of Alaska was called? Oh yeah Seward's folly, except that it was far from it. I love having a President who thinks outside of the box and always in the country's best interest.
I guess no one has told him it’s not for sale?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes Covfefe Anybody told him it is not the Bahamas?
be a great deal better deal eternal life thru Jesus
I heard that if they don’t want to sell he’ll use the super awesome military that he rebuilt to take Greenland by force.
It is a strategic piece of real estate. I just wouldn’t trust that guy to handle it well.
No it's a joke
He was born in the wrong century apparently 🤷🏼♀️🤦♀️😑
God forbid he think ahead and see what would be good for our country. We all may need to move to Greenland once the continental US becomes overcrowded.
Strategic value to the Trump empire for a summer golf course. It may be melting but it’s still cool enough to ride out climate change... for a little while. No place is really safe.
Delusional
I'm sure the ppl of Greenland are appalled at the thought, considering how we run our own country
The USA is not in the real estate business.
Auburngirlx Pray for it.
Then he can lease it personally to Russia, for military bases. Nope and noper.
Stand strong Greenland, a con man is knocking on the door.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Of all the shit ideas to not deny
The joke is Trump — but he’s not very funny.
Trump is broke
You misspelled 'distraction,' as well as 'bloviating' and 'folly.'
“Just grab them by the ... even if they’re married.” Trump’s brain processes “no” as a challenge to just take what he wants.
Now that all the ice is melted it needs to be raped of its resources in pure ‘merica fashion.
Just a diversion from important issues. His game is so old and easy now to spot.
He will do ANYTHING to control the media conversation! DONT BITE!
Give this person a stack of comic books to read.
How long before Trump advisers float the idea of a merger of the U.S. and Russia? Think of the profitable opportunities. It would be a very corporate thing to do. The amount of money we could save by combining our militaries. it could start as a series of business arrangements.
What’s our budget deficit?
We could take the big chunks of iceberg to the Southwest, I.e. Mono Lake, to solve their drought and limit sea rise from iceberg melt.
is that where he wants to dump off all immigrants?
Good he can buy it and stay there ...
Awww, poor Trump, he wants his own country, to rename as Trumpland.
He compares everything to a large real estate deal and that’s the whole problem, even if he wasn’t terrible at large real estate deals, even if he wasn’t forced to use his real estate to launder money for the Russian mob, that’s not how you run a country.
So did Truman and Ike—
Manifest Destiny meets Manifest Insanity
No, no! Greenland does not need a Trump hotel.
Does he realize it’s not green?
Jeffrey Epstein had his own private island. So why not Trump? It's called island envy.
Not with my tax money.
Of course he would! It would bring him trillions, but some things are not for sale.
Maybe realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse should worry more about reducing the extremely high deficit as opposed to spending $$$ on Greenland..I mean why should anyone trust him and real estate hasn’t he had four or five bankruptcies?
Yeah... 'Let's Make a Deal!' Where is Greenland at? Behind Door 1, 2, or 3? Or... you can keep all that $$$ from govt program budget cuts. What to do Wow, he's going for Door 3! It's an original copy of Wilson Picket's 'Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You' released in 1970!!!
🤦♀️🤦🤦♂️ what a colossal embarrassing ass that BillionDollarLoser is. He has FAILED at every single thing he has touched.
Because as we all know, the geopolitical landscape is no different than a real estate deal. GodHelpUs
Actually NPR it is a joke. Because it’s like saying he wants to buy the sun.
It's all a distraction! Anyone else notice how we're talking about this nonsense and not assault weapons?
Higher ground you see...Mar-a-Lago has about a decade of viability left.
Real Estate Math: 535,251,200 acres. $2,000/acre that's $1,070,502,400,000 - let me convert that to rubles - 71,178,668,028,160
CornbreadWisdom He's right.
How about just picking up the tab on wasted travel.
Is he going to make them an offer they can't refuse?
Great. Another bankrupt business. Can’t we just send him there instead? I’m sure he’d be very happy. Lots of white people. TrumpIsAWhiteSupremacist
Oh, and BTW, Denmark has made it clear Greenland isn’t on the market-and it has made a counteroffer to buy the US. Might be a good idea. People in Denmark are reportedly very happy!
Yes. Well. realDonaldTrump many distractions and diversions away from his blatant corruption, criminality, and lack of knowlege is no joke.
Great idea. Unfortunately the USA failed in 1947 to purchase it.
Greenland isn’t for sale. Just as the US shouldn’t be.
so they can ruin that, too?
just what looser trump needs, another golf course
Unrelated question: How much oil does it have?
Has anybody told this jackass that Greenland isn’t actually green?😃
Uh...even if he could what funds would their be appropriated for it by Congress? My guess....$0.0
Sigh
Please consider the source and move on. We all know the CiC has dementia and has no flipping clue what he’s talking about most of the time. 🤦🏻♀️
Ugh. I hope this whole Greenland thing flits in and out of his brain quickly, as his whims tend to do, and we're on to his next headline...
Wait til he finds out it’s mostly covered in ice
Baller move
He's crazy or even more stupid than I thought.
Borrowing money from China to buy Greenland makes tons of sense especially when you deni science and believe windmills cause cancer
Smh 🤦🏾♂️
Cue 🎵Bad Boys🎵 Can-a-da, Ca-na-da Whatcha gonna do Whatcha gonna do When Trump comes for you.
Says the imbecile who bankrupted his real estate holdings
I am going to call B.S. I say he secures funding, changes his mind, and uses the money he allocated for the BorderWall.
I have a better idea. Sell the US to Denmark. 🇩🇰 They are the happiest people in the world. I would like to be among them.
The guy is a public embarrassment
We have a couple of Bridges in CT we need to sell
He probably wants to build a trump golf course on all that “green land”
Malignant, delusional narcissistic grandiosity.
Better idea: We sell Trump to Denmark. For $1. Or we can even pay to get rid of him.
hell...we can't even handle puerto rico...
Not happening, stop reporting this nonsense and concentrate on actual news please!
so if they wont sell.......w.w.hitler do ?
You can’t make this stuff up. No wonder the rest of the world is laughing at us.
lucky for him all the news media outlets are hammering on this story and have conveniently forgotten that we are in the midst of a gun violence epidemic and desperately need gun control legislation but ok run with the Greenland distraction
They need our help
Greenland is not Manhattan.
It’ll make a great golf course after we get a bit more climate change.
