I'd rather our taxes go to buy new land instead of paying for another war

[brianheintz]

How about we trade California for Greenland?? Sounds good to me!!

[wujalwujal]

What about if a foreign country, like lets say New Zealand would approach the US and said: we need Hawaii for reasons of strategic interest. Do you even understand how questioning the geographic integrety of another country is taken??? There is something seriously wrong with america. And Fox is part of the problem.

Greenland through Denmark has one of the best healthcare sytems in the world.
Why would they trade that away for one of the WORST.

[deanlord]

All you clowns realize Greenland is a territory of Denmark which is a member of NATO.

[davehunt]

I don't really watch Fox News, so maybe this is normally how they talk. This is some of the funniest most ignorant stuff I've heard. Did they even think about bringing in an expert to talk about the practical logistics required to "take back" the Panama Canal or "purchase" Greenland. This just sounds like three highschool students talking about something they know nothing about solely for the purpose of entertaining the viewers. I feel less educated now about the subject than before I got here. LOL

[debbie]

I’ll take Greenland over paying for a DC football stadium for the entertainment of DC politicians (didn’t Rome do similar things?)

Frustrated Dane here

Throughout recent history, Denmark has been one of America's strongest allies, in the sense that we have almost uncritically agreed to most things that came from the states. We have participated in the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan and have suffered significant casualties in wars invented by the Americans.

Over time, the Americans have had several secret agreements with Denmark to promote American interests - in 1968, an American plane crashed in Greenland with 4 nuclear weapons, which caused a major political uproar in Denmark because we in Denmark do not want nuclear weapons on our territory - but the Americans had a secret special agreement.

We are one of the largest contributors to Ukraine in the form of money and military equipment.

We also helped Americans spy on our mutual allies - Angela Merkel, for example, had her text messages and phone calls monitored. But also our Norwegian, Swedish and French top politicians and officials have been monitored on the Internet for the NSA. This could be done because of the large part of the Internet cables that run through Denmark.

Treating an ally and so loyal partner in that way is provocative and makes me sad. It is a lack of respect and an absurd way to treat your friends. Shame on you Trump - you are nasty.

[MrBernt]

Here we go again. What a way to treat an ally. Does he even understand how insulting this is.
Who needs enemies when you have friends like this.

[valb]

Why do we care what Venezuela thinks. Send their people back to them no matter what.

My Dad did a one year isolated tour in Greenland in 1963 while in the A.F. He came back a changed man who was much more appreciative of family, friends, & faith. He served 21 yrs. I followed in his footsteps and served 28 years in the A.F. I never got orders to Greenland (thank God 🙏). RIP Dad. Thank you for your service. I love you. 🇺🇸

DENMARK SUPPORTED THE USA IN AFGHANISTAN. IT COST THEM THE LIVES OF 43 SOLDIERS AND 214 WERE WOUNDED IN ACTION. THE FINANCIAL COST WAS OVER $2 BILLION. DENMARK IS A SMALL NATION OF LESS THAN 6 MILLION PEOPLE.
THEY MADE THIS SACRIFICE AS THEY BELIEVED THE USA IS ALLY. HOW DOES THE USA REPAY THIS ACT OF LOYALTY AND SACRIFICE? WITH THINLY VEILED THREATS TO TAKE GREENLAND.
THE USA HAS NO HONOUR OR DECENCY.
IMAGINE THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES ONLY 5 YEARS AGO FOR THE USA. I HAVE DISGUST AND CONTEMPT FOR THE USA AFTER READING THIS.

[Emilyaaker]

I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years in another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with Tracy Britt Cool Consulting my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.

[Elementisphere]

This is ridiculous. Denmark outlines in their constitution that none of their land shall be sold to any other country.

[tyian]

The same people who want to focus on fixing things in the states are in favor of over extending ourselves to invade mexico and try to annex greenland and Panama 😂 we are literally living idiocracy

[creepingbert]

We could spend that money to house homeless vets, or fix our substandard roads and bridges.
We could spend that money in so many ways that actually help average Americans.
We can't find money for those things, but we can write a check for Greenland?? This is insane.
Merry Christmas, this is what you voted for.

[UnicornPurple-utwf]

How about rebuilding North Carolina, Tennessee, Palestine OH, Lahaina etc First!?

[JamesBond-vngh]

Alvin Bragg was VERY happy there were no Daniel Penny to intervene when that poor woman was lit on fire in the metro.

[denmark]

Well denmark is the least corrupt country on earth, one of the happiest and most free people. Free healthcare, school and almost no homelessness. We are one of the best countries for its citizens in the world, rank quite a bit higher than the USA. So if you wanna experience real freedom, we are willing to buy your state. But since we are not authoritarian, youll have to vote on it.
And about Greenland, they are their own country and people. If they want to go with the USA they are allowed to do so... But there is probably a reason they dont... And as one of our closest allys, you should respect their decision.

[mubashirmulaffer]

Putin - I want Ukraine
Trump - I want Greenland
