Get 10k now!!
And all it will cost you is Healthcare, Education, Employee rights and self autonomy!!
What are you waiting for, don’t miss out on this one time offer to get 10k!!
They’ll either kill them, force them onto reservations or kick them off the island.
And, since Trump is involved, the promised $10k might never get paid.

Yeah Giuliani could probably use some of the money Trump owes him so he can pay his own legal fees.
Or just pollute the hell out of their towns by building strip mines.

10k*
*minus dealer prep, handling fees, transaction fees, documentation fees, implementation fees, conveyance and escrow fees, and miscellaneous charges and fees.
Then we can expel them as immigrants since they were Danish citizens.
But then all of the people in Greenland won’t work! Remember when the United States gave us all in the midst of the COVID pandemic and none of us returned to our jobs and now all live on yachts? This would be even worse!
Ohh, a promise from trump, the king of lies who famously never pays anyone.
In this new era, these crooks will float an idead on the webs, then measure the response with AI fucking crawlers. I should just switch off wifi or something.
That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.
God this guy isn’t gonna stop slobbing Putin’s knob is he?
Just chill, Donnie. The markets can smell your fear.
I wonder if he would even know that Greenland exists if his handlers hadn’t pointed it out to him and said they want it.
Imagine his surprise should he ever go there and see very little trees and grass
It’s hard not to smell those soiled Depends.
It would take a lot more than $10,000 to go from benevolent rule by Denmark to being dogs for Trump.
It is funny, people always seem to default to the lowest number of a big number they can think of when thinking of a big number.
“I want a hundred”
“I want a thousand”
“I want ten thousand”
“I want a hundred thousand”
“I want a million”
I realize that for Trump and the US ten thousand dollars is like throwing pennies at a poor person assuming they will be overwhelmed by seeing “ten thousand”.
Same in movies, unless a guy is supposed to be super smart, they will only refer to money as:
- 100
- 500
- 1000
- 5000
- 10000
- 50000
- 100000
- 500000
- 1000000
- 5000000
They very seldom go, “I want 370000” unless there is a reason in the plot, never to just get more money.
I think it’s for the opposite reason shops sell you stuff for 9.99 / 99 / 995 etc but you’re right it does make it sound like a random number. I noticed myself people are less likely to hassle if it looks like a specific number (like 85 instead of 100 or 22 instead of 25)
In consulting, we never rounded off our quotes. $794,618.92 seems like more thought went into it than $800k.
It seems as though they can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want to be American, which is kinda nutty.
Yeah, you’d have to pay me a lot more to even consider it, $10000 seems laughably low.
Yeah. Someone else suggested it might cover your first ambulance ride. I’m thinking maybe your first year health insurance?
Edit - it was just a wild guess, but here’s a badly formatted table copied from an article in Forbes:
Age of member Average monthly costs
- Age 21 $445
- Age 27 $467
- Age 30 $505
- Age 40 $569
- Age 50 $795
- Age 60 $1,208
So, for my age, my guess was almost exactly right!
Monthly? Dafuq…
Best country in the world they keep telling us.
Best country in the world for billionaires.
How shitty Americans must think the world is.
Land of the fee
You pay that per month, and still get denied healthcare.
It’s a racket
Oh, they know this is junk. It’s just noise to split focus away from what they’re really doing.
All other idiocy aside, this number is just so fucking offensive. 10k, really? That’s it?
It’s 65774 DKK. With 40k/mo salary average in Denmark (so like 25 after taxes),this is a few months worth of money. Ok, maybe salaries are lower because whole Greenland is in the middle of nowhere, but it’s also not some war-torn African country - people don’t live on five bucks a month
Ok, maybe salaries are lower because whole Greenland is in the middle of nowhere, […]
Having visited Iceland, the cost of living is higher on islands with limited agriculture and high cost of imports.
Someone in a cross post said: a million dollars would be insulting. Ten k is beyond insulting
Enough to barely cover your first ambulance ride.
Will that even be enough in Greenland, unless you live around Nuuk?
This makes a good point - a country like Greenland without strong government and a strong security net would simply become uninhabitable for normal people.
which you’ll eventually need because you’ll stop going to the doctor for anything less that being literally seconds away from death.
Bold of you to assume USD is worth anything
He’s reading the intelligence of the people in Greenland. Thankfully they are not dumb
Fun fact denmark already sends more money than that so by accepting this deal they not only would they become american but also loose gdp. No matter how you look at it its a lose lose for greenland lol
Just FYI, loose and lose have different meanings. Kinda like desert and dessert.
Yes it was a typo. Sometimes when im tired in the morning or night my spelling gets funky. I have spelt english words in hungarian and hungarian words on english before, i think its because im bilingual.
Kinda like pedant and pendejo.
How about giving that to everybody who voted against you, for having to put up with four more years of your shit?
How about if everyone gives $1,000 and we pay him and Vance to resign.
