What's wrong with calling it absurd? It would be fair to call a proposal to buy Alaska absurd."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Yep, that's it.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

Just because you haven't seen it suggested before doesn't make it absurd. Besides, this is the second time the US has broached the subject with Denmark - the first was in 1947, only 80 years after we bought Alaska."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Where is Trump on the autism spectrum?
Quite far along, I think.“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

Are we seriously wondering why a public suggestion by POTUS to buy Greenland wasn't taken seriously and rebuffed? And this is showing contempt how, exactly? At least Truman kept it secret (to my knowledge the offer was only announced in the 90's). Deciding to use it as an excuse not to show up in Denmark also doesn't really reflect well either tbh.

I have to agree, it sounds absurd.
At first I thought it was a joke that the MSM took seriously and Trump played along. But now I have to admit it was Trump being serious.
Unless he has some unknown plan for Greenland that we aren't seeing, it sounds ridiculous. Maybe he is wanting to use it for military bases or something?

This actually did have a concrete, if small, effect on the US's diplomatic standing. We need a president who does not troll, and I will be taking that into consideration next year."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.
