Internal planning was so far along they had begun to even think about the financial cost.

White House officials had discussed taking over Denmark’s $600 million annual payment to Greenland, and also giving Denmark some sort of financial sweetener.

1. Even worse, I suspect Trump is right now thinking that the announcement of canceling his visit

is going to make Denmark beg him to buy Greenland. Shart of the deal!

2. Trump is the guy that bankrupted casinos

and the USFL and defrauded thousands through Trump University. So, anybody sane should be questioning his business acumen.

They want Chump to stay home.

4. honestly, was there really anyone that was capable of doing that to begin with?

6. I think there were some that would put the brakes on him a bit

Mattis, Tillerson, Comey and now Wray, and (to a lesser extent) Sessions and Kelly

5. $600 Million is pretty cheap

When you consider what is paid for sports stadiums. Still, that is the annual payment. Is the land worth something on top of that?

7. I think there may be

natural resources there that could make it worth it long-term.
