Next in his mind:
Buying Hong Kong... they need help!
Buying Taiwan... they need help!
Buying Venezuela ... they need help!
Buying Cuba... they need help!
and Buying the WORLD.
That's the Trumpzilla syndrome!
Topic: Trump wants to buy Greenland - page 2. (Read 613 times)
interesting that this coincides with Danish banks offering negative interest rates on mortgages (which is pretty much guaranteed to cause the Danish Kroner to go the way of the Venezuelan bolivar, the Danish real estate market there will be on fire once enough property speculators discover this is happening)
If Trump is a good enough President over here, Greenland owners might voluntarily sell Greenland to him when he gets out of office. And, being a billionaire, he just might be able to afford it. They might even like him so much that they will sell cheap.
I doubt it will happen but if does, it'll be a nice purchases. Someone already mentioned the strategic advantage of controlling Greenland on a warm Arctic but there's more to it. The warming climate will make it easier to extract hydrocarbons from the Arctic and guess what, if you have a shore there, you get rights to prospect. It's all 'bout that oil again y'all. 
As for the land, most of it is covered with glaciers so I don't know what to do with that but who knows, maybe the climate would change so drastically it all becomes farmable. The island's larger than Alaska.

The trick is to make Greenland owners - whoever they are - to think that the money being paid is worth the paper it is printed on.
If Trump is going to buy Greenland, he had better do it now. The FED can crash at any moment, making Bitcoin or gold the new world money.

At first this maybe sounds like a joke or almost impossible thing to do, but when you think about it, it is great idea as United States did similar things before, buying territories from other countries.
In 1805 United States bought Lousiana for $15M from France
In 1867 United States bought Alaska for $7.2M from Russia
In 1917 United States bought Virgin Islands from Denmark for $25 M
In 1946 Harry Truman tried buying Greenland, but that time Denmark didn't accept the offer.
So as we can see, this is perfectly reasonable and smart move by Trump, if he manages to pull this off he will be remembered as one of the most successful presidents in history.
The USA buying Alaska from the Russians is what i will call the best deal ever made in the entire Earth and maybe Trump sees somethig with Greenland which i don't but with his claim that the Island is costing Denmark around $700M in subsidies is something that may change the mind of the Danish government in selling the territory.In 1805 United States bought Lousiana for $15M from France
In 1867 United States bought Alaska for $7.2M from Russia

And what can top buying Alaska? Buying Greenland!
We all know that history is repeating itself, so this is next logical move to ensure dominance in the decades to come.

Why instead of buying Greenland buy Michael Jacksons Neverland.
The pros are obvious:
- you dont need to buy visa to travel to Neverland
- yon can use US dollars (wont be losses while changing currency to Danish krone) there
- everyone 100% speaks English
- it is closer than Greenland.

Random information out of left field, but I don't think the White House has commented on it.
Trump is thinking about purchasing Greenland. He's been floating the idea with WH legal counsel, and different aides in the WH to see if this is something he can do. Unknown on if he is really seriousness about this, but it's something that has without a doubt been talked about.
Unknown on why: Past the fact that Greenland has a large amount of natural resources, but I can't see something like this actually coming to fruition. I'd love to see what people think about this.

americans are ridiculous, why not install a puppet government and pay the corrupt head of state in gold or bitcoin which he then can take with him when he flees to the usa after he has stripped his people of their rights
Something like 90% of the Greenland population belongs to indigenous people
just like the early US population? if they learn from history... better stay away
Greenland is abundant in minerals.
ofc, that's what really matters. stuff, not the people.
Ask indigenous people in Alaska would they rather be part of Russia, instead United States.
ask if they would like to be part of Denmark.
if he manages to pull this off he will be remembered as one of the most successful presidents in history.
that would make Merica Great
total nonsense. why in the hell danish citizens would want to become US citizens? and worse, under trump government? masochism?
and worse, under trump government? masochism?Because even though they have Danish citizenship, huge majority don't consider themselves being Danish.Something like 90% of the Greenland population belongs to indigenous people, Greenlandic Inuit. And being part of the United States can only make them more prosperous than they are now, considering Greenland is abundant in minerals.In the long run they can only profit from being part of US.

And to do it, all Trump needs to do is make sure that the Greenland politicians responsible for the transfer, get paid enough under the table.

This purchase would give the USA considerably more claim and leverage over the newly exposed natural resources in the Arctic. These claims might be hard for Denmark or Greenland to independently negotiate for and defend, however with the backing of the military might of the US, some kind of share agreement might be maximally beneficial for both parties. It will be somewhat of a hard sell to the native population. I know I wouldn't like it if my nation were sold to another, but if it means more domestic resources, infrastructure, jobs, and government benefits they might see past nationalism.
Free MAGA hats for Greenlanders?
No. I'm sure Trump (and the US) would be happy to give one million $ to each Greenlander so that it could become the 51st state.

I don't know if he's serious but other powers are definitely going to try to sabotage this even if Denmark is willing to sell. It is actually a pretty good move though. The seas are warming and within a few decades we'd have an Arctic that is navigable even during winter.
Having bases in Greenland would be a good check against Russia, which would no longer be as restricted navy-wise like it is today (one reason for annexing Crimea is access to a warm sea port). China is also expected to take advantage of an all-season Northwest Passage for shipping to the Americas and the US controlling Greenland would give them the capacity to choke these trade routes if needed.

If USA is going to do it, it must be through high level negotiations. Nothing is impossible nor beyond reach for the world super-power. All it will take is the use of leverages against Denmark, and at the same time, offer them good incentives. In the end, it'll come down to referendum where the Greenland citizens may be asked to choose between becoming part of the United States of America or remain as Denmark territory. There's absolutely no question which direction the citizens will choose.
With good offers, Denmark will have nothing to loose selling a vast expanse of empty land they probably may never make solid use of in the next 1000 years. Not as if they are going to become some sort of world power some day in the future and begin to build military bases all over the world like the USA.
If I am part of the White House Team, I will really give it a push before the world becomes even wiser than they are now. Russia would never sell Alaska for 10Trillion if it well to be now. But we got at a mere $8million USD. We can do the same with Greenland before it becomes too late.
Who agrees with me on this?

United States already have base on Greenland, it is there since 1943, Thule Air Base

When it comes to Trump I wouldn’t be surprised if he was able to buy Greenland, as he has done lots of things which were impossible to achieve eg: winning US presidency elections, the first US president to walk on North Korean soil etc. Then again this move could be made to send a message to China, that if required US will buy Greenland and use it’s resources rather than bend it knee to China for it’s resources. According to this article US has made attempts to buy Greenland in the past too but they failed, and it’s pertinent to note that Trump is visiting Denmark next month it’ll be interesting if he makes an offers to buy Greenland.
