Good trade, but make sure that AOC is included in the trade ... now she could get automatic Danish citizenship and experience that lovely Danish socialism that Bernie and the left love so much.

Trade Hong Kong for Hawaii? Puerto Rico for Greenland? I can see the logic.
To: tom h
No doubt the trade would cost more than buying Greenland outright.

Why not just change Puerto Rico‘s name to Greenland II and send the bill to Denmark.......

If it was to aides, then a leaker had been identified.

A foreign policy expert at the Heritage Foundation, trying to encapsulate the absurdity of Trump’s interest in purchasing Greenland, told the Hill, “It would be like the prime minister of Denmark saying that she wants to buy Puerto Rico or Guam. What would the president of the United States say then?”
Sold?

Trump does have a great sense of humor! Too bad the Left is so miserable that they cannot occasionally laugh with him.

IF President Trump said this, it's more indication that he is reading FR.
The trade Puerto Rico silliness has been on here since the first mention of Greenland.

So a quote attributed to an unnamed “former official” by an admitted propaganda outlet for the Democrat party is now reported as factual.
Until I hear Trump say it, or hear multiple reports by reliable people (with actual names) who HEARD him say it, I assert that this is just another lie from the New York Times.

He’d say SOLD!!!
(In the case of PR that is).
To: tom h
Maybe they’d be more interested in taking back the Dutch part of NYC. Basically would cover the TriBeCa bit.

Holy crap, it’s a joke, but the first thing they run on is that obviously he’s not joking.
Mayhem media needs therapy.

LBJ “joked” about a certain Race voting Democrat for 200 Years after he handed them the Keys to the Welfare State.
I don’t recall the NYT putting it in a Headline.

Trade California for Greenland. The Danes are almost as far left as is the Netherlands, so California would feel right at home.

If the PR tourism department was on the ball, they should immediately start advertising in Denmark. Now that summer is drawing to a close, a lot of Danes might really like traveling there.

I’ve got a much better idea than that for a Greenland trade! And Denmark’s gonna love it!
