In response to President Donald Trump’s continued musing about the U.S. acquiring Greenland from Denmark, Danish citizens have launched their own effort to purchase America’s most economically prosperous state.
An online petition seeking the “Denmarkification” of California has seemingly garnered nearly 200,000 signatures, with a pitch to Danish citizens that purchasing the Golden State would provide them with more sunshine, dominance in the tech industry, limitless avocado toast and easy access to Disneyland — which organizers say would be renamed to honor fairytale author and poet Hans Christian Andersen.
“Have you ever looked at a map and thought, ‘You know what Denmark needs? More sunshine, palm trees, and roller skates.’ Well, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make that dream a reality,” petition organizers write on the online page.
Danes who sign the petition are encouraged to chip in for the fundraising goal of $1 trillion (give or take), which organizers say would cost every citizen of the Scandinavian nation approximately 200,000 DKK — or roughly $28,000.
Executives from LEGO and the cast of Danish political drama “Borgen” would negotiate the deal on behalf of the Scandinavian nation, and organizers said they would throw in a lifetime supply of Danish pastries to sweeten the deal.

Fair trade.
They don’t have enough money to buy California - but we’d be happy to give them Gavin...
Sure! If they can scrap together $20T bucks to cover the sale, it’s theirs!
Evan swap, California for Greenland. No money needs to change hands
I’m not sure the Danes know what they would be getting in to.
Trump’s going to get annoyed with these Euroweenies and will really start bi+ch slapping them.
If they haul it away they can have it for free
I totally respect folks with a sense of humor.
The finances might be a little difficult, though. Denmark's GDP is $404 billion, California's is $4.08 trillion. We'd have to work in some sort of discount.
I imagine there are quite a few that would PAY the Danes to get rid of Kalifornia.
Draw the line carefully, but yeah, I’m open to that.
I can dig it.
Denmark [Karl Marx be upon them...] is on the right path, but is WAY too poor [even with the sale of Greenland to Trump] to accomplish their fondest desire...
They might actually be that stupid but “most prosperous”=”most fed funded and corrupt”.
Unlike Denmark,I’m sure that the American people would prefer to sell California to Denmark.Whether the People of California would agree would be a different story.
Okay but they gotta take Illinois too. and we may want to reserve the right to force them take a couple of others.
They seem ignorant of the fact the price would be 10x GDP of the state.
Nobody has that much money.
Making the price $40T.
Respect!
