WASHINGTONPresident Trump made his name on the worlds most famous island. Now he wants to buy the worlds biggest.
The idea of the U.S. purchasing Greenland has captured the former real-estate developers 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.

Looks like a nice place to settle all those illegals. They'll pay for their own flight home in a hurry.
OMG, OK looks like a good place to send all the Liberals, and they can be very happy there with their own special Government and their own idea of a leader. It may be worth it. Then we can send all the border crossers they want so much.

Launching at 80 degrees means the fallout only lasts for several days in orbit.
Launching at the equator would pollute the upper atmosphere for YEARS with each launch.

No thank you! Weve got our own illegals to deal with.
Of course we, unlike the USA, can build a wall. So that helps.
Yep, Kramer was just about to put the hurt on The Ukraine.

He’s a vile opportunist. He got out of the Paris accord and started buying up the RE in Greenland before everyone else got in on it.
Alaska turned out pretty good, didn’t it? Except for Murkowski....

We would have a spot to resettle the “undocumented immigrants” and “asylum seekers.”
