Canada Land Grab Wrong

Trump has offered Denmark $1 trillion dollars to buy Greenland. Greenland is about to be turned over to Denmark’s population, consisting of approximately 55,000 inhabitants.

The United States, instead of buying Greenland from Denmark, could instead offer each resident of Greenland approximately $18,000,000.00 to buy their allegiance, buy their vote, buy their island. That comes to approximately $1 trillion.

Also, Trump wants Canada to become another state in the United States. Silly, as there are 10 provinces and three territories comprising Canada. To make it all one state is thoughtless, in addition to being incredibly threatening.

Canada is our friend and ally. Sounds like something Putin would do—land grab from a neighbor.
