Simply 17 brutal reactions to rumours that Trump plans to buy Greenland
If there’s one thing we can say about Trump – one clean thing, that is – it’s that he’s totally obsessed with his legacy being the biggest, the best, the most presidential; obviously, it’s heading for being the most infamous, and that’s even taking Nixon into account.
But, one way he could stamp his name on the US map would be by making it bigger, and there are rumours that that’s what he intends to do.
In conversations with aides, Trump has—with varying degrees of seriousness—floated the idea of buying Greenland, WSJ reports. Trump has asked advisers whether the U.S. can acquire Greenland and reportedly asked his W.H. counsel to look into the idea.https://t.co/TBHyGlyrWT

Donald Trump’s plan:
1) Run up the worst national debt in U.S. history
2) Buy Greenland, which isn’t for sale, using money we don’t have
3) ???
4) Profit

Honored sirs, I am PRINCE KIELSEN and I am contacting you with exciting opportunity. I recently inherited an island but need a small amount of cash. Send a money order for $600,000,000 to my account and I will give you “Greenland.”
