Very interesting. So it was originally Norwegian, but after the dissolution of the Union of Kalmar it ended up in the hands of the Danish crown. The 57,000 residents of Greenland could become very wealthy if they sold the island to the United States.

But then they would want to move to the US and TOS would not allow that unless each one donated their money to him.

Yup they'd all have shiny new blue and silver US passports and could live wherever they wanted in the US. That would put more pressure on Canada to join the US, but that's far more difficult if not impossible.

But the healthcare would suck.

Then there's that birthright citizen thingy. The people there would have been born in Greenland, but wouldn't have been part of USA before God blessed them into America. Package deal? Deport? Purchase a Citizenship Subscription? Should The Don work it all out, naturally(ized) he should take a cut.
I think I just figured the whole mess out!

I assume that in the "purchase legislation" it will stipulate that Greenlanders automatically become US citizens, just like residents of Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands and other US possessions. Hey Greenland might decide to become the 51st state, even though it's larger than Alaska.

The orange spirochete just got in a "fiery" fight on the telephone with Denmark's Prime Minister over his threat to economically coerce Denmark into giving Greenland to the US. Oh, brother. Adam Mockler of Meidas Touch:
