    Oh dear lord. As someone who loves Greenland, has been there 9 times to every corner and loves the people, this is a complete and total catastrophe. 🇬🇱❤️https://twitter.com/rebeccaballhaus/status/1162112887311220741 …

    NEW: Trump has repeatedly expressed interest—with varying degrees of seriousness—in buying Greenland, asking advisers whether it would be feasible and directing the White House counsel to look into it. w/@vmsalama @andrewrestuccia @michaelcbender https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-eyes-a-new-real-estate-purchase-greenland-11565904223 …

        I was Ambassador to Denmark which means I was Ambassador to Greenland. It is remarkably pristine and complex. A place unlike any other corner of the planet. It simply must be handled with immense care and the best intentions for the people there and the global climate.

        If anyone believes Trump has either in mind, please reconsider your reality.

        How can one buy an entire people? Does he believe it's uninhabited? 🤔

        Hardly. He probably believes everything can be bought 🤔

        Maybe he thinks it's actually green, so he's just dreaming of turning it in to a giant golf course...

        I'm getting a feeling of a political distraction story. This is too good a story to be true, something else must be going on that the news aren't supposed to write about.

        IT IS NOT A CATASTROPHE. BUT SHEER MADNESS, STUPIITY AND MUCH MUCH WORSE. TRUMPS VISIT TO DENMARK MUST BE CANCELLED AND HIS "AGENT" CARLA SANDS EXPELLED. RT #GETLOSTBULLY

        I wonder if that's why he's coming to Denmark, to try to convince us to let him buy it.
