But be careful. They might place you on a remote island if you try to visit."Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing."

We thought he was nuts. He doubles down on his nuttiness.
US President Donald Trump has cancelled a state visit to Denmark after the nation's prime minister said Greenland was not for sale to the US.
The president was scheduled to visit on 2 September, at the invitation of Denmark's Queen Margrethe II.
Then last week Mr Trump suggested the US was interested in buying Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.
Danish PM Mette Frederiksen described the suggestion as "absurd" and said she hoped Mr Trump was not being serious.
Announcing the cancellation of his visit, Mr Trump tweeted: "Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time...."
A White House spokesman confirmed that the president's visit had been cancelled.
The Danish royal house also confirmed it had been informed of the cancellation, the Danish Broadcasting Corporation, DR, reported.
The house's head of communications, Lene Balleby, said the move was "a surprise".“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence” ― Bertrand Russell

Yep. The problem here is the utter disrespect and contempt Trump has shown both Denmark and Greenland by how he has approached the idea.Originally posted by firstfloor View Post

Well there goes my idea that he was mostly joking and then trolling when the MSM picked it up.Originally posted by firstfloor View Post
I have to admit this is one crazy idea on Trump's part.
I mean, why buy Greenland? He could just invade it.

The way he's approached it is not far from the equivalent in our age, which is why his received such a hostile reception to the idea.Originally posted by Sparko View PostWell there goes my idea that he was mostly joking and then trolling when the MSM picked it up.

Maybe he is wanting to do it as some sort of historic legacy. "Trump: The man who bought Greenland."Originally posted by oxmixmudd View Post
But it sounds dumb. The people there have no desire to become part of the USA. Denmark has no desire to sell. It doesn't really gain us anything to have it, and would probably actually cost us money to support. The mineral wealth it has is nearly impossible to access. The people don't even really speak much English, they speak Greenlandic and Danish.

Denmark is actually rising slowly with the ocean. It was squeezed down during the last ice age.Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostThere's a plan for that. They're gonna take all those tins that hams and cookies come in, and slide them under Denmark, and float it up a little. A rising tide lifts all Denmark.
