... On Thursday, Collins posted an image on X (formerly Twitter) of Trump's winning 2024 Electoral College map with the addition of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark. The island was colored in red, appearing to suggest it would vote Republican if admitted to the union. "Project 2029," he wrote in the caption, potentially suggesting such a purchase could be achieved if Republicans win again in 2028. ...

I suppose it's "ironic" but you never know.

1. How many electoral votes would it be entitled to

with a population of 56,000?

[Jk23]

2. The answer is three. NT

[Straw Man]

3. According to my calculations ...

How many electoral votes would it be entitled to

with a population of 56,000?

... they would get 3/10 of an electoral vote.

[Deuxcents]

4. Is Greenland for sale? Is Denmark gonna broker the sale?

Will it become a state with delegates and voting rights or treated like our other territories?
What budget will these funds come from? Just curious 🙃

7. Greenland

I think Iceland is part of Norway. They may be interested in selling since it's basically a constant explosion of lava.

8. Yes..thanks for the correction

[Disaffected]

12. Actually Iceland became a republic in 1944.

Prior to that it was affiliated with Denmark and yes, going back much further, Norway.

[soandso]

15. Thanks for the history

I stand corrected

[Disaffected]

21. YW.

[Ocelot II]

17. Iceland is an independent country.

[soandso]

18. Yes, thank you

Someone did correct me on that. Maybe I mis-associated them because they both murder whales!

[soandso]

5. Can't buy what's not for sale

but if the GA state rep likes Greenland so much, he should move there.

6. Oh god, they just try to find things to screw with.

[Prairie Gates]

9. Nothing will help struggling Western Pennsylvanians with $120,000 personal vehicles

Like purchasing Greenland.



It's what the US voted for. Make an offer. Negotiate on television. Make it a show.

[delisen]

10. Putin wants Alaska back ....

[duncang]

11. A autonomous territory of Denmark.

So in other words almost a separate country. I’m sure Greenland would have a lot to say about it. Also wait until maga finds out their native language isn’t English. They would want them deported. The stupidity of the maga cult is boundless. Look what the incoming HHS head already did to one of our territories Samoa. RFK jr. convinced their leader to slow down or stop vaccinations causing 83 deaths.

13. If they won't sell, impose 25% tariffs.

At least that is what I would do...

[Sogo]

14. Since when do US Territories get EVs?

[Hekate]

16. They don't. The residents, while ostensibly American citizens, don't get to vote for POTUS either.

This is a truly stupid Trumpy idea. What do he and his pals hope to get out of it? Do they think there are untapped oil reserves or extra shoals of herring or do they plan to take commercial advantage of the upcoming Northwest Passage when enough ice melts? Would they name it Trumpistan?

What do they think would make it an attractive offer to either Denmark or the residents of Greenland? — the latter being an important consideration, seeing as it is an autonomous region.

I swear, Trumpistas with excess money are even more disgusting than the average Trumpista.

[Disaffected]

20. Why not?

We should all drive EVs for the good of the planet.

[newdeal2]

19. Good, let him occupy his time with nonsense shiny objects like this

Hopefully he'll waste his term without too much damage to the rest of us.

[mr715]

22. Okay

Revolutionary change.

I shall welcome them.

What say the Kingdom of Denmark?

[Lincolnite]

23. This doesn't have to cost anything

Trump can marry off Kai to the Crown Prince of Denmark in exchange for the land and Barron to the princess in exchange for offshore oil and fishing rights.
