The Russians werent smart enough to do much with Alaska beyond over-whaling and over-hunting. So when Seward offered the Tsar two-cents an acre$7.2 million for the whole kit and caboodlethe art of this deal created a bigger, better, safer, and richer America.

The secret? Trump’s anti climate change policies will cause big global warming and this will make Greenland a warm paradise as it was thousands of years ago. He’ll have a golf course and two Trump Towers to enrich his retirement after his two terms are over. (I’m kidding!!)
So far, Iceland is green and Greenland is icy.

If and when the truth of this matter ever comes out, we're going to find that China was trying to buy a base in Greenland, or actually trying to buy Greenland entirely.
And so the left gets trolled again, they can't not mock and disparage anything this President says or does. They just cain't hep theyself, bless their hearts. Now, they're all boxed in with their own indignant words, it's unconscionable, it's stupid to even contemplate selling territory in the modern era. It's just not done.

Denmark will come to their senses, and Greenland will soon be our 51st State.

The Greenland Purchase (may it come to pass!) should earn Donaldus Magnus a place on Mount Rushmore.

We’d better grab Greenland before the Chicoms take it over completely.

The Russians werent smart enough to do much with Alaska beyond over-whaling and over-hunting. That wasn't the only time the Russians goofed. They pretty much owned northern California right up through Alaska. They had a base at Fort Ross just north of San Francisco (Yerba Buena). The Spanish rushed to establish a military base at San Francisco to counter the Russian threat. But the Russians told the Spanish/Mexicans that they were only interested in hunting, and soon abandoned their presence in northern California in the early 1800s due to over-hunting sea otters & seals. History would be very different if they stayed!

If Denmark cannot deal with China’s efforts to take over the mineral resources and military control, let them sell Greenland to America who can. It is for their best interests.

Nice to hear from Sarah.
Liked PDJT's idea of trading Puerto Rico for Greenland.

Okay:
- the inflation adjustor equates $1 in 1867 to $17.64 today: http://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1867?amount=1
- 640 acres to a square mile
- 836,300 square miles in Greenland
In today’s dollars we paid 35.28 cents per acre.
That is $225.79 per square mile.
By my calculations that would be $188,829,849.60 in total.
Somehow I don’t think that is going to get it done!

Trump will make Denmark an offer they can't refuse. 😉
