Frankly he’s just exhausting. I was thinking yesterday about the influencing of Israel to ban Congresswomen, and I wake up today to find out he wants to buy Greenland.
I mean… fuck dude, take a day off from doing batshit/stupid things.
It’s like trying to drink from the firehose of stupidity.

Yeah, the Greenland thing is just…weird. It’s like he’s become Grandpa Simpson and is going to propose that we get rid of three states on the basis that there are too many.
The Greenland thing is because he supposedly wants to tack “added another state” onto his legacy. So why not make a state of someplace that’s already a U.S. territory, like Puerto Rico or Guam?
Oh right… they’re full of brown people.
I thought he already made that proposal, but with a different [del]bias[/del] basis.
I wonder if enough of us [del]wrote in[/del] sent tweets to him, could we get him to try to make Hawaii the next state in the union? There are brown people there, of course, but not a majority. (Sadly, in Trump’s view no doubt, whites are also in a minority there.)
I see this morning that the Danes aren’t interested. Maybe he could trade them Puerto Rico for Greenland.
Maybe they should offer to buy back the Virgin Islands.
VIRGINS! That might get his attention for longer than the typical 30 seconds.
And Monty, yes, it would be fun to see if we could convince him to make Hawaii or Alaska a state.
How about New Mexico?
That should be a state. I hear they have a lot of Republicans there.
Seriously? It’s full of drug dealers with large calf muscles and rapists. I don’t think we want it.
In large part, this raid was about sending a message to undocumented workers. That message is “If you complain about harassment and abuse and call attention to yourselves, you will feel the consequences. You’ll be deported and you might lose your kids”.
Dude may have been born in Nu Yak, but he learned talkin’ from watching the Sopranos.

That was Old Mexico. This is New Mexico we’re talking about.
If he wants to emulate Andrew Johnson, can we do the impeachment part instead?
Hmmm. This idea of buying Greenland has possibilities. A few minutes with google and a calculator reveals fun stuff.
Like Rhode Island is 1,212 sq. miles, which is apparently acceptable for a state. Greenland is 836,300 square miles, so it could be turned into 690 states! Not that I’ve ever (knowingly) talked with a Greenlander, my bet is they’d be far more likely to lean Democratic than Republican. Just think: 13800 more Democratic senators! Their population is something around 57,000. Meaning each of these new states would have about 82.5 people. (Great odds if you aspire to get into politics.)
On the other hand, that’s certainly enough for them to change the official language of the United States. (I wonder how hard it is to learn Danish?)
I think out of fairness the state lines should be drawn up radially, like pizzas. Then each state would get about 39 miles of coastline (unless I screwed up the km to mile conversion. Plenty for shipping purposes. And every single person could have a 4.8 mile stretch of beach for his very own!
Sounds like paradise.
Ha! Joke’s on him! None of his supporters have 401(k)s.
Is that land, or including ice cover? Because if it’s the latter it’s already shrinking.
Apparently there are golf courses in Greenland already, so maybe he’s figuring when the ice melts he’ll be able to pick up some cheap real estate for another resort.
When I lived Out West, people there were always complaining about comparisons to Rhode Island. RI is smaller than a lot of western counties. Wyoming’s almost 100,000 square miles, so Greenland could make about eight REAL states. (at least as far as westerners are concerned).
And I’ll bet the population density is lower than those western US states, too. Giving Greenland 16 Senators is asking for trouble.
