Maddow: Stop Pranking Donald Trump With Ideas About Buying Greenland | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

    1. @kimi Those demographics says that the Inuit part includes mixed so that’s why it says that there are so many Inuits

    1. @Eco Geek Depends on the purchase price obviously. I’m sure it has a wealth of untapped natural resources like Alaska did as well. Imagine if we actually drilled more than 100% of our own oil, instead of supporting terrorism, wouldn’t that be something.

      I’d expect nothing less from a liberal than name calling. Relax, be polite and mature a bit. Talk facts and not insults.

  1. Buy Greenland with what? Trump is 100s of millions in debt. He still hasn’t paid EL Paso the half a million he owes them.

    1. @martin winther – Face facts, Trump has been running all over the country, and the world, from the day after the inauguration in an attempt to appear presidential. Those “rallies” plus his “vacations” done on the public dime have left him owing communities throughout America millions of dollars that they can not afford right now. Trump has been been doing his very best to insure that our fragile economic recovery dies an early death. Plus, he has not been selling a message of hope, accomplishment and dreams for our common future. He has been selling messages of toxic hatred, loss of control, despair and division. Putin sold us a lemon.

    1. People have stopped traveling to America, yet someone here thinks they want to be citizens? Lol…Last year we lost 14 million travelers to the country, to the tune of 59 billion dollars! Thanks trump!

    2. @Toni Sumblin Only stupid people assume he is stupid. Admittedly he may not be as smart, wealthy or as good looking as an obviously successful person like yourself, but hey, who is?

  2. And there he goes again! All concept and embodiment of that word HOPE, completely crushed by this malignant fool! 😞😩

    1. Trump crushed your hope in the world by considering buying an impoverished nation and adding it to the US. Where they’d receive financial investments in their abundant yet untapped natural resources. I mean I think it’s a dumb idea, and unlikely. But you losing “hope” sounds dramatic and weak.

    2. If you think hope is gone… How do you think Trump supporters feel knowing that 9/11 was a CIA job?

    3. Hahahahah! He really lives rent free in your head. Hilarious! Just so your aware of the full scope, a property tycoon……. is living rent free in your head.

    1. @Ekkie Ekk I hate to clue you in. But soon as Obama left. And soon as Trump came in the projected market exploded. Obama consistently had a 1.3% GDP growth. Under Trump it has doubled. Obama’s regulations ruined the economy. Trump reversed all good executive orders. Welcome to reality. Stock market is at record levels since 1940. Sure Jones breaking records daily. You are being fed crazy fake news. Go research from. Gov and. Edu websites.

    2. @Ekkie Ekk the people doing the work in the pipes and adding chemicals to the water are the ones responsible. Not some council somewhere. There were regulations they didn’t follow when treating and fixing the pipes. Council didn’t do the work. The workers there did. Go look up why they as currently to water supplies…

    1. @Melissa Hudson Not even when their labeled…lol. 60% of adult American’s math and literacy is at or below a grade 4 level…

    1. Honestly itd be a good place to put millitary bases, because russia is trying to control the arctic, that would give the united states a foothold further north to prevent russias claim and expansion into the arctic

  3. The reason why is because China tried to fund airports there and is trying to gain influence in the region not to mention we already have a large military installation plus it’s only an idea not a guarantee

    1. Greenland is the Danish “Puerto Rico”. Only it is 1000 times lager in territory, and takes 1000 times less welfare to run on.

    2. @Badr -eddin you think we have a King who rules. That is so cute. Our army also consist og archers and swordsmen so you might have a chance against us.

    3. @basquat76

      I never said your king rule so… you said that kid! but I rather see him hold some power he’ll do better than your current miserable government, and yes compared to our huge strong armies your so-called army is nothing more than a backward uncivilized militia with bows and arrows!

      You should be ashamed of your military history and your country!

    4. @Badr -eddin That is so funny of you to say. You live in a third world country. Seriously you do. Alabama has third world country status by the un and quite a few of the other states are right behind. Only a question of time before they get the title too.
      That’s not just poor, that’s extreme poverty. Next step is a humanitarian crisis. Full on hunger crisis. Once you reach that level of poverty it only goes one way unless you put everything you have into it. Soon America will be over and done with except for the 1% who stole all your money.
      America the great super power was taken down by cowboy from Hollywood and his tricle down economic scam. Keep pretending you matter kid. But don’t come here looking for a better life. We don’t want you idiots doing to our house what you did to your own.

  4. Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and the severity of symptoms vary. People with the disorder can:
    5. Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate

    1. How is he been trolled? The USA has been buying territory from other nations since it’s inception. Such as, Louisiana from France, Florida from Spain and Alaska from Russia. It’s in America geopolitical interests to purchase Greenland. The Chinese are already in talks with Greenland to purchase parts of the island. Do you think it’s smart of Trump to let it’s biggest competitor have land so close to it’s border? Think a little for yourself instead of letting others do the thinking for you

    2. @Lemon McGee Oh, honey. China is not in talks to buy any part of Greenland. However, they have recently purposed building an airport there – which has since been canceled. Nice try, though.

      The last purchased land acquisition was from Russia in 1867. While that was part of how the country was formed, it is no longer used since the country is not expanding. As the last expansion was in 1898, in which the US gained Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, and occupied Cuba for several years.

      You see, not only do I think for myself, but I also fact check and research before commenting. You should try it.
