He probably thinks it's full of lush, green foliage. Probably wants the logging rights. Who knows with that guy.

Trump offered to buy the vast Danish territory during his first term in office -- receiving an abrupt refusal -- and he revived his push over the weekend when naming his ambassador to Copenhagen for his incoming administration.

Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede quickly sought to quash any chance of a deal. "Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom," Mute Egede said in a statement.

Greenland, the world's largest island, is an autonomous Danish territory with its own parliament, about 55,000 inhabitants, and a small pro-independence movement. It relies on Denmark to fund more than half of its public budget.

Trump on Sunday posted that "for purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity."

Trump downplays talk of Elon Musk’s increasing influence in Republican politics by eccentric in c/news@lemmy.world
[-] eccentric@lemm.ee 13 points 2 days ago

Actually, he is an illegal immigrant.

The reason this is relevant is because he has spent the better part of a year complaining about “illegal immigrants” who are “invading” the country. But an old video from 2013 resurfaced on Saturday that appears to show the billionaire admitting he was at one point building his small business in the country illegally, describing it as a “gray area.”

Here's a link to an article talking about it: https://gizmodo.com/watch-elon-musk-talk-about-being-illegal-immigrant-1851376973

Faith-based cost-sharing seemed like an alternative to health insurance, until the childbirth bills arrived by eccentric in c/politics@lemmy.world

they think grifting people for money in the name of the Lord is perfectly fine.

That pretty much sums up most organized religion.

Taking no other expenses out for running Sedera, that allows each member to only receive 2400 a year in reimbursement.

That assumes everyone is filing claims. Insurance companies gamble on you not filing claims.

I have heard of super homophobic guys not washing their butthole because they think it's gay to touch it.

“I have had boyfriends that think it’s gay to wipe their arse because what if their finger touches it through the paper. Thank god I’m with a hygienic bi man now.”

She refuses to let me tell her why I can barely function. She refuses to let me describe what I'm going through. She says she "can't handle it", that "it's not a top priority right now", that she's "trying to understand" why I've made this "choice" while also telling me things like "but I like you the way you are" and rejecting any information I send to her because she'd rather consult her friends that she "trusts more".

She starts to have a panic attack whenever I try to talk to her about it and God forbid I tell her that she made a mistake because then I obviously hate her guts and want her to die. She's literally accused me of that.

Those paragraphs reminded me of the !raisedbynarcissists@lemmy.ml community.

If Trump dies in office, I'd prefer it to be a lighning strike while he's golfing.

Believe it or not, some of them believe Democrats control the weather. I can hear it now, "Democrats assassinated Trump with lightning!"

"They" can control the weather, and the proof is in the patents, said Georgia Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
