The plan would replace the $600 million in subsidies Denmark gives the island each year

The Donald Trump administration is reportedly considering giving about $10,000 to each Greenland resident as part of its plan to annex the island.

The possibility would seek to replace the $600 million Denmark gives the territory in subsidies every year, and has stopped being mere rhetoric to become official U.S. policy, according to The New York Times.

The outlet detailed that the plan already includes several cabinet departments and that the White House’s National Security Council has met several times to advance on it, recently sending specific instructions to different offices.

    $1m would be insulting.
    $10k is beyond insulting. That’s probably one the cheapest entry fees to one of his disgusting Mar-a-Lago fundraisers.
    Trump really has a knack for insulting people. He’s basically saying “You’re worth a fifth of a Tesla car”. How cheap can you be…

      1This demonstrates how he thinks - He’s obviously getting paid by Putin to destroy America, so he thinks everybody else is just like him. Offer enough money, and theyll sell out their country, too. He has no conception of patriotism or loyalty to his country.

      I’d promise him anything he wants, take his money (after jacking it up to a million bucks), then immediately betray him. Everybody in his country should do that. Whats he going to do, sue me for not being a traitor? He can go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut.

        I got cold-called by one of those “We’ll buy your house!” scam outfits one time asking if I was interested in selling my modest single-story, two bedroom / one bathroom house.

        Me: Not really!

        Them: Well, if you were going to, what price would you hope to get?

        Me: You know what, let’s say five million dollars.

        Them: Uh… is this the house at [my address]?

        Me: Sure is!

        Them: And… five million? You’re firm on that?

        Me: Well, anything is negotiable, of course. I’ve got to go now, bye!

        And I just really hope that I wasted a little bit more of their time that day, but if someone were to make a horrible paperwork error and accidentally offer me five million dollars for a house worth a fraction of that, that’s really on them, I’d say.

      How about if he threw in the Tesla’s with poor quality and no craftsmanship? Y’know to boost all those American manufacturing jobs, and the mechanics, and Elon’s tax subsidized billions.

        Even for free I honestly don’t think I could do it. And I live in California where fucking everyone has a Tesla. I’d sell it if I thought I could I guess.
