Yeah, hey, on that note, maybe Denmark would like to acquire the United States.

The funniest thing about this is that if they did actually propose it, Trump would be absolutely stupid not to support it; it would basically ensure GOP domination in every major election for the foreseeable future if we lost California's blue votes.

What I'm saying here is, don't stop at California, include all the other blue states, too, please. Take us with you. :(

Well...

California contributes more than 10% of the USA's GDP, so while it might be tempting to gain power, it would probably demolish the economy.

Which Trump is also actively doing on a grand scale.

Oh, definitely. Just wanted to stress that it would be even worse without one of the richest and most productive states.

This I think is indeed the main reason why Greenland does not wish to be part of the US. Trump offered to pay 100.000 to each citizen of Greenland, to buy it. But this is less than what Denmark spends on Greenland every year.

I honestly believe that there are more people who want the US to become part of Denmark, than there are people who want Greenland to become part of the US
