COPENHAGEN (The Borowitz Report)After rebuffing Donald J. Trumps 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 Denmarks 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.

(15,027 posts)That way, all the money transferred from those states to states that refuse to raise any taxes, will be fucked.
Let them live with no schools, subsides to their favored businesses, and graft to their political class.
How long do you think it will take before those states become Trumpian "shitholes?"

Can anyone send a tweet to Denmark and ask them to buy us?

(10,417 posts)that they have put on the US. 22 trillion and climbing.
Just now wondered if maybe the actual plan is to loot as much as possible on debt, bankrupt the US and then MF45 will LITERALLY sell us out to Putin. Cheap.

Much of it has proven to be prophetic.

(17,276 posts)Move the trumpies down there in their own country and let Donnie be their king. Mara Lago the capitol. Build a big beautiful wall to keep them there. Allow them no military except for their own well regulated militia. See how far they get without US federal aid. It can be a hereditary monarchy so Donnie jr. can succeed his dad.
