Denmark’s next big adventure: Let’s buy California from Donald Trump

In a counter to US President Donald Trump’s bid to buy off Greenland, a Danish petition to “buy California” has received around 2000,000 signatures in support.
According to a report in Newsweek, the campaign proposes to crowdfund 1 trillion dollars to purchase the US state and bring “hygge to Hollywood“, “bike lanes to Beverly Hills,” and “organic smorrebrod to every street corner.”
The “Demarkification” petition, titled “Let’s Buy California from Trump – Denmark’s Next Big Adventure” said that President Trump might actually sell the US state because “he isn’t exactly California’s biggest fan. “
“Let’s buy California from Donald Trump! Yes, you heard that right. California could be ours, and we need your help to make it happen. He’s called it ‘the most ruined state in the Union’ and has feuded with its leaders for years. We’re pretty sure he’d be willing to part with it for the right price. And hey, we’ll even throw in a lifetime supply of Danish pastries to sweeten the deal. He’s called it ‘the most ruined state in the Union’ and has feuded with its leaders for years,” the petition read.

“We’re pretty sure he’d be willing to part with it for the right price. And hey, we’ll even throw in a lifetime supply of Danish pastries to sweeten the deal. As for the will of the citizens? Well, let’s face it – when has that ever stopped him? If Trump wants to sell California, he’ll sell California,” it added.
This comes after Trump made his intent clear about Greenland, Panama and Canada after his election win. On his first day in the office, he said Denmark will come along on a potential sale of Greenland to the US.
“Greenland is a wonderful place. We need fair, international security, and I am sure that Denmark will come along. I think — it’s costing them a lot of money to maintain it, to keep it,” Trump said.
“The people of Greenland are not happy with Denmark, you know. I think they are happy with us. We had representatives, my son and representatives went up there two weeks ago and they like us so we will see what happens, but Greenland is necessary, not for us, it’s necessary for international security,” Trump said.
Following Trump’s proposition, Greenland’s prime minister Mute Egede said Greenlanders don’t want to become Americans. We don’t want to be Danish either. Greenland’s future will be decided by Greenland. Our country and our people will decide what happens to Greenland,” the PM said adding that they are open to talks with Washington to safeguard US interests in the Arctic.
