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?

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