On Truth Social, Donald Trump posted a video of a man from Greenland urging him to purchase the Danish territory.….

I am hearing that the people of Greenland are "MAGA." My son, Don Jr, and various representatives, will be traveling there to visit some of the most magnificent areas and sights. Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation. We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside World. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!”


Turns out there’s more to the story…..

In turns out the man featured in the video, Timmy Zeeb, is a convicted drug dealer, violent criminal, and serial offender, according to Danish media outlets DR News and B.T.


“Only the best people” has now gone international.

Trump talks like a little kid. Sheesh. Reading his spew is bad enough; I can't stand to listen to him.

Man, how great would it be if Canada and Greenland were to become the 51st and 52nd state?!?

Canada has 40 million center-left citizens, more than California. That would be two new Senators and roughly 50 congress critters from mostly liberal Toronto and Montreal (where roughly 10% of the population lives); plus two new Senators from Greenland and another 9 or 10 congress critters from Greenland. States like Texas and Florida would lose congress critters in the process. And of course, Canada and Greenland would be permitted to draw their own congressional maps to make them even more slanted.

Both countries have more robust social safety nets and more strict gun control laws.

Best thing Trump could do for the country would be to find a way to make them states. Of course, he might regret it after the fact but don't anyone tell him that.

Wouldn't work that way. Canada's libs are just like America's libs: they all live along the coasts and sneer at the flyover parts of the interior. Oh, and everyone not from Montreal hates Quebec (which wouldn't join anyway).

We'd admit Canadian provinces as states. You wouldn't like for 1 second how everybody other than Ontario and British Columbia would vote.

Never happen. There's no way we're giving Canada that much power in the Senate, even aside from party politics. You'd give them 20 Senators?

There'd be some compromise. There's no way you'd give them 2 to 4 more commie democrats to take the US down the toilet bowl.
