“Trump above the fold.”

Biggest dang golf course on the planet. Like a 20 day course with exec party buses/limos.

I am in.

I wonder if he’s considered purchasing Canada as well.

We almost nabbed it once along with Newfoundland in the 40s.

If we can put it to work, then why not.

It is a brilliant idea.

As far as I know, the last purchase was of the Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917.

There are vast resources off the coast of Denmark, which we could access.

Here’s what the Dubliners have to say about this:

Oh Greenland is a dreadful place
A land that’s never green
Where there’s ice and snow, and the whalefishes blow
And the daylight’s seldom seen brave boys
Daylight’s seldom seen.

Actually we got the Virgin Islands from the Danes as well... so there is plenty of precedence between us for a purchase like this.

We’ve had bases there for a long time.

After China, Greenland Mining (HQ: Australia) is the largest cache of Rare Earth Elements in the world. (symbol: GDLNF)

Here is a report. Note, the Company helped subsidize the cost of the research, which is common in Australia for penny stocks.

Wow’s business model was to give people flying transatlantic a breather - legs can get cramped! While it strikes me that Iceland is more interesting than Greenland (and Wow failed), maybe the model could work there.

The Arctic Ocean oil would be in play, and you could really keep a bead on Russia’s Northern fleet from there.

We could tunnel under ground, like a Moon or Mars colony.

And the whale blubber! Its the best up there - just like Mom used to make.

...noting that since Mr. Trump hadn’t floated the idea at a campaign rally yet, he probably isn’t seriously considering it.

Hard to argue with that. Once he starts talking about it at rallies then you know he's serious.

Oh, man, think of the possibilities - you could put this enormous gold T on the ground that would be visible from the moon with the naked eye right in the middle. A giant enclosed nature park where you could play polar bears vs. liberals. What’s not to like?

I think it’s a great idea as well. In fact, I’m kind of bummed we never absorbed Canada when we had the chance. Imagine the U.S. basically being all of North America.
