Trumps Greenland

President Trump is the latest of several presidents wanting to acquire Greenland. I don't see why the liberal press is making fun of him for this. After all if the liberals global warming agenda is true, it would make a great summer getaway for them after it warms up a bit. Since the liberals don't believe in legal immigration perhaps they could go there now and get it ready for the rest of us. I'm sure Denmark won't mind. ;) Bob

    I never cease to be amazed that no liberals are ever smart enough to realize when Trump is prodding them into making fools of themselves. Works every time.

    The government has no rights. Only the people have rights which empowers the government.
    We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
    Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.

    Hey, we can buy Greenland and divide it seven ways. Then there would be 57 United States.

    If the Dems keep having their ways, we need to get back to our old expansionist roots and just start taking new places like Greenland. No need to pay when we have such a big expensive military and arsenal to go with! 8-) I hear that Iceland is a very beautiful place in the summer months.

    Shhhhhhh......
    A well kept secret!
    Greenland was named as such to attract people. Iceland was named as such, to keep people/immigrants away.....
    Those wacky Norsemen knew what they were doing! ;):D:D

    I also hear they still carry the M1917 Enfield bolt-action rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield because it can stand up to the cold better than anything that's been manufactured since.

    I think a better deal is to trade Kalifornia for it.

    A B-52 out of Thule AFB crashed in Greenland after suffering a cabin fire. It was carrying several fusion hydrogen bombs and the Danes made the US clean up the mess, including carrying away large containers of radioactive ice.

    They are probably still pretty mad about it.

    Danes are too far removed and complacent to see the value of the Dom of real estate.

    Trump knows real value and goes for it to MAGA... :ugeek:

    No, it might then be 50 united states, and 7 divided ones that think their failed/failing system is the right one.

    Denmark offered to buy the US. They figure we can use good health care.

    President Truman tried to Greenland back in 1946. They didn't make a big deal out of it back then.
