COPENHAGEN (The Borowitz Report)—After rebuffing Donald J. Trump’s hypothetical proposal to purchase Greenland, the government of Denmark has announced that it would be interested in buying the United States instead.
“As we have stated, Greenland is not for sale,” a spokesperson for the Danish government said on Friday. “We have noted, however, that during the Trump regime pretty much everything in the United States, including its government, has most definitely been for sale.”
“Denmark would be interested in purchasing the United States in its entirety, with the exception of its government,” the spokesperson added.
A key provision of the purchase offer, the spokesperson said, would be the relocation of Donald Trump to another country “to be determined,” with Russia and North Korea cited as possible destinations.
If Denmark’s bid for the United States is accepted, the Scandinavian nation has ambitious plans for its new acquisition. “We believe that, by giving the U.S. an educational system and national health care, it could be transformed from a vast land mass into a great nation,” the spokesperson said.

Turnabout is fair play.
Trump is using this story as a
diversion and it appears the government of Denmark is playing along. I wonder what Trump is
really up to...
Let's trade; We will turn over the title to east L.A. slums,( Pelosi's territory), to Denmark for the title to Greenland.

Trump's answer would be...if you need to know the price, you can't afford it.
Or...serious inquiries only.
And maybe...we will sell Puerto Rico but only if the democratic party goes with it.
Or possibly...get 20 percent off if you agree to buy California also. ( Homeless must go with the state).

Did you know that the United States, under president Andrew Johnson (D), purchased Alaska from the Russians. Paid $7.2 million.
The House of Reps impeached Johnson, the senate acquitted him by one vote.

Um...sorry to piss in your cornflakes but Trump had a very specific reason for bringing this up now, I've learned, that has nothing to do with acquiring Greenland but rather what Greenland has been used for.
I guess it is a deflection, but not for what you think.

Of course this is satirical. But there is a possibility. We could start selling them San Francisco and Los Angeles. These are populated by democrats and I am sure they love the climate change.

Everything was literally for sale in our country when Hitlery was Secretary of State and Ovommit was our resident. As I recall, 20% of our uranium sources were sold to Russia and the pay to play policy of the corrupt Clinton Foundation ruled the day! Ovommit and Mooch would have sold our country if given the chance. They sold our country out , why not sell our land too?
