Denmark Offers to Buy U.S.

[Soph0571]

After rebuffing Donald J. Trump’s hypothetical proposal to purchase Greenland, the government of Denmark has announced that it would be interested in buying the United States instead.

“As we have stated, Greenland is not for sale,” a spokesperson for the Danish government said on Friday. “We have noted, however, that during the Trump regime pretty much everything in the United States, including its government, has most definitely been for sale.”

“Denmark would be interested in purchasing the United States in its entirety, with the exception of its government,” the spokesperson added.

A key provision of the purchase offer, the spokesperson said, would be the relocation of Donald Trump to another country “to be determined,” with Russia and North Korea cited as possible destinations.

If Denmark’s bid for the United States is accepted, the Scandinavian nation has ambitious plans for its new acquisition. “We believe that, by giving the U.S. an educational system and national health care, it could be transformed from a vast land mass into a great nation,” the spokesperson said.

2. What is the world coming to?

Back in the day Fascist and Communist dictators want something they just take it? Look at Putin Communist trained, Fascist by choice wanted something he just took until he figured out there would be push back. Taking and annexing Greenland would be a snap. Once again Trump falls short of his hero’s.

One of the best DU posts I have read.

I'm writing to my congress members asking them to vote yes if this comes up for a vote.

6. I honestly wish they would.

Looks like too many people here aren't capable of making the decisions needed to choose our representatives. I really wonder if we're capable of governing ourselves. It makes me sick that we've allowed democracy to wither away here, but that's what happens to empires. Our empire will forever be compared to Rome.
