This latest "narrative" from Trump's circle about "buying" Greenland or even having Canada "join" the US... I want to think most people promoting it, first of all Trump and Trump Jr, are doing it for the LOLs and to cause righteous indignation among the pearl-clutchers.
Because I have never heard anything more completely delusional and retarded, and the amount of retardedness plaguing the rank and file of the MAGA movement is not precisely short.
For so many reasons, from the practical and political impossibility of "buying" a territory in the 21st century, to the fact that it's a barren dead rock with no natural resources of any type and unable to sustain any population, it is quite difficult to be more retarded than that.
Even if the touted "rare mineral deposits" exist, those would only add to the impossibility -- why would they give away independence (assuming they even decide to materialize the self-determination right that Denmark gave them, and become a sovereign state to begin with), when they can simply mine, or give concessions to foreign companies to mine (and profiting massively from the bids)?
The Canada thing doesn't even merit comment.
I think this is simply a crudely made up distraction from the whole HB1/immigration fiasco of the past couple of weeks.
