It would take a lot more than $10,000 to go from benevolent rule by Denmark to being dogs for Trump.

Bold of you to assume USD is worth anything

He’s reading the intelligence of the people in Greenland. Thankfully they are not dumb

How about giving that to everybody who voted against you, for having to put up with four more years of your shit?

How about if everyone gives $1,000 and we pay him and Vance to resign.

Get 10k now!!

And all it will cost you is Healthcare, Education, Employee rights and self autonomy!!

What are you waiting for, don't miss out on this one time offer to get 10k!!

Then we can expel them as immigrants since they were Danish citizens.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

10k*

*minus dealer prep, handling fees, transaction fees, documentation fees, implementation fees, conveyance and escrow fees, and miscellaneous charges and fees.

Yeah. As an Aussie, I can't tell you how awesome free/cheap healthcare is

Don't forget Trump also wanted to get rid of generic medicine here in Australia, so it was also cost cheap medicine too

They'll either kill them, force them onto reservations or kick them off the island.

And, since Trump is involved, the promised $10k might never get paid.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

Or just pollute the hell out of their towns by building strip mines.

Yeah Giuliani could probably use some of the money Trump owes him so he can pay his own legal fees.

But then all of the people in Greenland won’t work! Remember when the United States gave us all in the midst of the COVID pandemic and none of us returned to our jobs and now all live on yachts? This would be even worse!

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago

I’m so sick of all his shit.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

We're paying extra for bread to give people in greenland 10k?

Fun fact denmark already sends more money than that so by accepting this deal they not only would they become american but also loose gdp. No matter how you look at it its a lose lose for greenland lol

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Just FYI, loose and lose have different meanings. Kinda like desert and dessert.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Kinda like pedant and pendejo.

Yes it was a typo. Sometimes when im tired in the morning or night my spelling gets funky. I have spelt english words in hungarian and hungarian words on english before, i think its because im bilingual.
