And that’s basically it!
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?
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!!
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
10k*
*minus dealer prep, handling fees, transaction fees, documentation fees, implementation fees, conveyance and escrow fees, and miscellaneous charges and fees.
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.
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!
Enough to barely cover your first ambulance ride.
which you'll eventually need because you'll stop going to the doctor for anything less that being literally seconds away from death.
Will that even be enough in Greenland, unless you live around Nuuk?
This makes a good point - a country like Greenland without strong government and a strong security net would simply become uninhabitable for normal people.
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
Just FYI, loose and lose have different meanings. Kinda like desert and dessert.
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.
I’m so sick of all his shit.
Ohh, a promise from trump, the king of lies who famously never pays anyone.
It seems as though they can't understand why anyone wouldn't want to be American, which is kinda nutty.
Oh, they know this is junk. It's just noise to split focus away from what they're really doing.
Yeah, you'd have to pay me a lot more to even consider it, $10000 seems laughably low.
Yeah. Someone else suggested it might cover your first ambulance ride. I'm thinking maybe your first year health insurance?
Edit - it was just a wild guess, but here's a badly formatted table copied from an article in Forbes:
Age of member Average monthly costs
So, for my age, my guess was almost exactly right!
Monthly? Dafuq..
You pay that per month, and still get denied healthcare.
It's a racket
Best country in the world they keep telling us.
Land of the fee
Best country in the world for billionaires.
All other idiocy aside, this number is just so fucking offensive. 10k, really? That's it?
Someone in a cross post said: a million dollars would be insulting. Ten k is beyond insulting
It's 65774 DKK. With 40k/mo salary average in Denmark (so like 25 after taxes),this is a few months worth of money. Ok, maybe salaries are lower because whole Greenland is in the middle of nowhere, but it's also not some war-torn African country - people don't live on five bucks a month
Ok, maybe salaries are lower because whole Greenland is in the middle of nowhere, [...]
Having visited Iceland, the cost of living is higher on islands with limited agriculture and high cost of imports.
God this guy isn't gonna stop slobbing Putin's knob is he?
Just chill, Donnie. The markets can smell your fear.
It's hard not to smell those soiled Depends.
I wonder if he would even know that Greenland exists if his handlers hadn’t pointed it out to him and said they want it.
We're paying extra for bread to give people in greenland 10k?
Fuck you trump.
It is funny, people always seem to default to the lowest number of a big number they can think of when thinking of a big number.
"I want a hundred"
"I want a thousand"
"I want ten thousand"
"I want a hundred thousand"
"I want a million"
I realize that for Trump and the US ten thousand dollars is like throwing pennies at a poor person assuming they will be overwhelmed by seeing "ten thousand".
Same in movies, unless a guy is supposed to be super smart, they will only refer to money as:
They very seldom go, "I want 370000" unless there is a reason in the plot, never to just get more money.
