Trump shares amusing video of Greenlander asking him to ‘buy us’ from Denmark
President-elect Trump has once again made headlines with his calls for the United States to take ownership of Greenland, this time in an amusing social media post on Monday. The post comes as his son, Donald Trump Jr., prepares to travel to Greenland in a personal capacity, without any scheduled meetings with government officials.
In a post on Truth Social, President-elect Trump claimed that he had heard that the people of Greenland are \”MAGA,\” referring to his Make America Great Again slogan. He shared a video in which a Greenlander wearing a MAGA hat is asked what he would tell Trump if given the chance. The man’s response was simple: \”Buy us. Buy Greenland.\”
The man in the video went on to explain that the people of Greenland love Americans but want to be free of the Danish government, which they feel is taking advantage of them. He expressed frustration with Denmark’s control over Greenland’s rich mineral resources and called for independence.
President-elect Trump confirmed in his post that he plans to visit Greenland in the near future and that his son will be in the country soon. He expressed admiration for the island’s beauty and potential, stating that the people of Greenland would benefit greatly from becoming part of the United States.
This latest post follows Trump’s initial expression of support for U.S. ownership of Greenland two weeks ago, citing national security and global freedom as reasons for the acquisition. In response, Greenland’s Prime Minister expressed interest in pursuing independence from Denmark, highlighting the need for the country to shape its own future.
Trump’s interest in buying Greenland is not new, dating back to 2019 when he referred to it as a \”large real estate deal.\” He emphasized the strategic importance of Greenland and its valuable mineral resources, suggesting that it would be beneficial for both the United States and Denmark.
The idea of purchasing Greenland has sparked debate and speculation, with some viewing it as a strategic move and others questioning the feasibility and implications of such a transaction. Regardless of the outcome, President-elect Trump’s continued interest in Greenland is sure to keep the conversation going.
As the situation unfolds, it will be interesting to see how the United States, Denmark, and the people of Greenland navigate the complexities of potential ownership changes and what it could mean for the future of this unique and geopolitically significant region.
