Not sure about that one, Melania became a citizen the same year Baron was born, not sure if it was before or after.

Still wondering if Trump did this to upset the Danes and make them happy to concede another item on his agenda...

Trump knows how to create leverage and distraction and emotional response.

Interesting point about US jobs for Greenlanders

“Jul 11, 2019 · In 2019, Greenland has an estimated population of 56,672, which ranks 209th in the world. Greenland is the 12th largest country in the world in terms of area, but its population is just 56,672 in 2019 with a population density of only 0.026 people per square kilometer, which ranks 244th in the world (the least densely populated country).” World Population Review

So, we can calculate. 500/56000 = 0.0089 or roughly 1% of the population is employed on the US base. That of course omits off base contractor employees.

America is a very significant part of th e Greenland economy

“The majority of its residents are Inuit, whose ancestors migrated from Alaska” Wiki

“The Greenlandic economy is highly dependent on fishing. Fishing accounts for more than 90% of Greenland’s exports.[104] The shrimp and fish industry is by far the largest income earner.[2]” Wiki

I’ve heard the Mercator Projection called “racist”, and not from the current crop of pinheads, but decades ago.

I guess showing true headings linearly on a map for shipping is “racist”. So, not understanding why things are done a certain way must be “enlightened” (oldspeak for “woke”).

Don’t have to sell Greenland!

How about a trade instead?

Say. Puerto Rico. Nice and warm. Win, Win!

>>>semi-autonomous Danish territory<<<

So, in the Lexicon of the Left POTUS Trump wants to buy an Assault Territory.

Maybe for Democrats.
I don’t think an ineligible Republican can be elected.
There are still too many of us that know what natural born citizen means and we won’t vote for ineligible candidates, even if they are wearing R jerseys.

Bobby Jindal and Marco Rubio come to mind.

Little Marco got pretty far considering his lack of NBC “status” didn’t he?

They went no where.
If the GOP nominates an ineligible candidate, they will lose.

Sound doable.
Subsidy is cheap.
We’re providing defense anyway.
Revenue sharing on resources is easy to preserve, more likely lucrative under US control.
30x salary cash up front is a paltry (to US) $58B. Should motivate Inuit.
Somebody draw up the offer contact.

Yes, Only Tiffany, but she won't be old enough until the 2028 election.

I ignore all the comments from deliberately ignorant posters who will surely comment.
