Should President Trump make the Dutch an offer they can't refuse?

(He wants us to buy Greenland)

Trade them Puerto Rico for it.

Better deal: Buy the world's largest island. It's pretty much uninhabited. (And pretty much uninhabitable.) Wink

That would be Greenland - although the 50,000 + inhabitants who live there would take exception to the "unihabited" part.

To be fair, it's not the worst idea Trump ever had, and there is some precedent for it.  The Danes don't seem interested, though.

Greenland's officials put it it much more politely than I would have, but it was basically a "Go fuck yourself."
There is only one reason 45 said that shit, because greedy oil companies and other resource CEOs would love to exploit their resources.

Everyone exploits resources, Brian.  That's why they're called 'resources'.

Oil companies all over the world, want to exploit the Arctic circle,and Greenland would be a very strategic launch pad.
