President Donald Trump’s seeing green…land.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Trump is eyeing Greenland as a potential new addition to the U.S.
Two unnamed sources told the Journal that the President has gone as far as asking his White House counsel about buying the island (an autonomous nation belonging to Denmark), though it’s unknown how seriously he plans on pursuing the idea.
As one of the paper’s sources pointed out, since Trump hasn’t floated the idea at one of his campaign rallies yet, “he probably isn’t seriously considering it,” in the Journal’s words.
Trump reportedly wants both Greenland’s natural resources and the legacy of adding a new state to the union.

He does know it’s not really green, right?
Hell, let’s welcome Puerto Rico into the Union then, we already own that.

Greenland has vast mineral resources, but it is also a vast repository of fresh water, with glaciers that used to be up to 3 km thick. If the US committed to managing its carbon emissions and protecting that massive island from development, I’m all for it. I’m assuming Greenlanders get something out of the deal beyond what they already get from the Danes.
He might let them stay considering they’re mostly white.
He is fucking insane.
