WASHINGTON—President Trump made his name on the world’s most famous island. Now he wants to buy the world’s biggest.
The idea of the U.S. purchasing Greenland has captured the former real-estate developer’s imagination, according to people familiar with the deliberations, who said Mr. Trump has, with varying degrees of seriousness, repeatedly expressed interest in buying the ice-covered autonomous Danish territory between the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans.
In meetings, at dinners and in passing conversations, Mr. Trump has asked advisers whether the U.S. can acquire Greenland, listened with interest when they discuss its abundant resources and geopolitical importance, and, according to two of the people, has asked his White House counsel to look into the idea.
Some of his advisers have supported the concept, saying it was a good economic play, two of the people said, while others dismissed it as a fleeting fascination that will never come to fruition. It is also unclear how the U.S. would go about acquiring Greenland even if the effort were serious.
With a population of about 56,000, Greenland is a self-ruling part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and while its government decides on most domestic matters, foreign and security policy is handled by Copenhagen. Mr. Trump is scheduled to make his first visit to Denmark early next month, although the visit is unrelated, these people said.

Could we worth a try...
Greenland: 836,330 sq mi
Louisiana Purchase: 828,000 sq mi
Alaska: 663,268 sq mi
“Well, that’s the current system. Once Greenland is part of the U.S.A., you’ll have private property rights.”
Don’t pay your property taxes and see what happens. Assuming you weren’t being sarcastic
They don’t speak english there and it is quite volcanic.

NASA scientists track Greenland’s melting ice, and the findings are not good

Aug 15, 2019‘It’s a little scary’ as climate change eats away at massive glaciers
ABOARD A NASA RESEARCH PLANE OVER GREENLAND — The fields of rippling ice 500 feet below the NASA plane give way to the blue-green of water dotted with irregular chunks of bleached-white ice, some the size of battleships, some as tall as 15-story buildings.
Like nearly every other glacier on Greenland, the massive Kangerlussuaq is melting. In fact, the giant frozen island has seen one of its biggest melts on record this year. NASA scientist Josh Willis is now closely studying the phenomenon in hopes of figuring out precisely how global warming is eating away at Greenland’s ice.
The media and leftists will be complaining he isn’t trying to buy some shithole in darkest Africa. White privilege and all that.
It’s brilliant. Why not? Enough geothermal to power some engineering marvels.
There is a lot of oil in Greenland
Iceland does have all those hot chicks...
2 Provinces in Canada already have the right to petition to be brought into the United States from the beginning of our country, research it and you will see it is true
No, dump all of the dross that floats to California from the other states and take it back to how it was when I was born there. I think it escapes far too many how important the agriculture of the state alone is to the rest of the country
And I am sure you all understand that Jim Robinson is also a resident of California
Glacier Girl is a great success story.
The Kee Bird is a sad story.

Had not heard of Kee Bird. How did those guys not bawl like babies watching her burn?
That is funny right there but, is anyone could do it, Trump could put the green in Greenland.
We can carve up the icebergs before they melt and sell the ice to fast food companies
Swap hell! We will pay them, or anyone, to take Puerto Rico
Could we buy Denmark also? Nice little country nestled conveniently in Europe. Could be a summer home
But will it be a blue state or a red state?
the last purchase was of the Virgin Islands
