Trump likens buying Greenland to 'a large real estate deal'

President Donald Trump said Sunday the idea of buying Greenland from Denmark has been discussed within his administration because of the strategic benefits for the U.S. and suggested that the semi-autonomous territory is a financial burden to Denmark.

"It's just something we've talked about," Trump told reporters when asked about the idea."Denmark essentially owns it. We're very good allies with Denmark. We've protected Denmark like we protect large portions of the world, so the concept came up." "Strategically it's interesting and we'd be interested, but we'll talk to them a little bit. It's not No. 1 on the burner, I can tell you that," the president said.

it would give us another base for security against an attack form the Arctic.

President Trump works FOR WE THE PEOPLE. He will do the same for Greenland. Trump2020 Greenland

That's because the government won't ask the people.

Everything is for sale

Hey Denmark, maybe offer a few buck's to buy America ?

Good for Denmark!

Why should we ruin their economy?

To the wonderful people of Greenland, on behalf of more than half of the American people, I‘d like to thank you for your raw, blunt, ass-kicking honesty You all are just f*cking hardcore awesome Also- and I speak for the majority of us- we are so sorry about trump. So, so sorry

Is there really any doubt that he's totally bat crap crazy and unfit for office? 25th Amendment time!

Bankruptcy King, Pays NO TAXES! HES DUMB.

Greenland

And so the misinformation spreads. So innocuous to start.

Kudlow was sloppy drunk on Fox on Sunday morning. Isn't that newsworthy?

By this time next summer, we’ll be using our military to “annex” it...

Next week it’s going to be revealed that trump intends to seize Greenland militarily and all the republicans and pundits will be like “pretty good idea”

He will pay for it by selling California to the Russians thus costing the democrats over 50 electoral votes

Wonder if realDonaldTrump knows Iceland is green and Greenland is not. Keep the pasta flying.

Why won’t we look at it before someone else may buy it? Why would we let them and the Dutch know we are interested. Seems reasonable to me before China or Russia gets ahold of it.
