[NY Post] Trump wants to buy Greenland, again, after claiming US could take back ownership of Panama

Taiwan is a country, Greenland is a territory.

 

Yeah - and this is ridiculous - but it is a distraction by Trump and idiots on both sides are slopping it up.

Greenland isn't for sale - and it is absurd to repeatedly discuss purchasing it with the media - just like it is absurd to have a President discussing Canada being the 51st state - but here we are, it is cover so that Trump can do things he really cares about.

Trump is going to run his second term like being President is being the owner of a company - for better or worse - and decisions are going to be made based on that.

 

you said "everything is for sale" which would include your mom. and me buying your mom is much more realistic than trump buying greenland.

what view? the view of trump cultists once again saying stupid stuff? the fact that yall are taking this greenland thing seriously says way more about yall than it does about the rest of us.

why dont you explain this grand plan? how would it work? why would denmark sell? trump is the master negotiator, right? so how does he do this? will it work out better than his proposal to make mexico pay for his wall?

 

You’re probably right that no one will purchase it. I have already agreed with that. I just like ****ing with these libs who act as if it’s their decision. Nobody knows what can be negotiated in the future.

 

The show with Whoopie that you watch every single day

 

Greenland is the largest island in the world and has it's own local government.

No one is buying Greenland - it isn't going to be listed on E-Bay.

Trump has repeatedly been told that it isn't for sale.... it isn't 1900.

I am sure that Denmark will agree to some limited "changes" to current policy so that Trump can run back to his supporters and claim victory.... which is what will likely happen with the Panama Canal as well.

This is marketing 101 - just like when Trump claimed that the Mexicans would pay for the Wall.

 

Some Democrats can be lead astray easily - and Trump knows that. It distracts from other political issues that perhaps are not as good for him... which is why I have never agreed with this idea that he is mentally r****ded. He isn't a genius like he has claimed, but he is shrewd and understands people on a base level very well... and that should be respected.

 

seems like you know way more about that show than me. ive never seen a second of it.

what is the insult supposed to be there? what exactly does watching "the view" have to do with you trumpers thinking that buying greenland is on the table?

 

Lets just not sit back and say it’s impossible and then watch China buy it.

 

i had trumper family members telling me that trump was going to invade mexico and we were going to take over the northern part and how great it was going to be. they were serious. i just thought to myself how stupid they were to say this. this whole greenland thing is the exact same. yall sound like morons when you go around pretending like this is something thats on the table.

 

It’s all your talking points on one show! You’d love it! But we know you already watch it.

 

You make a lot of assumptions. There are no negotiations.

 

You have no idea what there are.

 

I don't care about approaching the idea of purchasing it. I'm not so against it. But it should be very low down on the priority list. I am not particularly interested in the idea of acquiring it. It isn't for sale.

The "If Obama/Biden/Democrats were for it, you would be on board talk is just a lazy way of trying to dismiss things without making an argument or looking at the relevant issues and facts involved.

 

I'm basing my statement on the leader of Greenland who is far more trustworthy than DT.

Greenland is not for sale, its leader says in response to Trump

And Biden said he would never pardon his son.

My point is that we never really know what will happen.

 

Yes, things can change in the future. But to argue about imagined made up stuff is pointless. So why lash out people who claiming with valid reason that it isn't for sale.

 

seems like you are obsessed with the view. you know a lot about it. why don’t you explain what the view has to do with greenland. or explain anything about why denmark would sell.

y’all trump cultists are such delusional dorks!

 

You're all discussing buying and selling Greenland like it's the 1940s still. That era of transacting land like that passed decades ago. No one is buying large tracts of land like that anymore.

Now, it's worth noting that Greenland has an active independence movement that has been steadily gaining ground. Part of the instability with Denmark is that there's a good chance that Greenland will inevitably demand full autonomy and ultimately a new type of political union would be required (one in which Greenland is functionally independent).

Interestingly enough, the US already has agreements like this with independent countries. When the US decolonized in the Pacific, the territories that made up the Trust Territory were given the choice of whether to leave or stay in the US. All of them except the Marianas Islands chose to leave (with the Northern Marianas Islands forming a new commonwealth instead). The countries that chose to leave instead formed agreements known as the compact of free association which gave those countries independence but the US continues to provide economic aid and some government services. Americans and the COFA countries also have free movement of people. In exchange for all of that, the US gets guaranteed military access and strong political ties to those countries.

If you were to envision a hypothetical future where Greenland does finally secede from Denmark, the compact of free association is the only feasible path (where the US basically gives more economic aid than Denmark does while allowing Greenland to be independent). But there's no path of directly integrating any territory into the US as a state (or even a commonwealth) at this point. Its COFA or bust and COFA would be an agreement directly with Greenland rather than some sort of side deal with Denmark.

 

Because those people have no idea if it’s for sale. Just because Denmark said that? Biden said he wouldn't pardon his son. The dems said that Biden’s mental state wasn’t in decline. They said it for 4 years! So you can continue to believe words if you want.
