Without the Danish subsidy, won’t Greenland have to tax its residents to make up the difference? And won’t that have to be about $10k a year?

So give them DOGE checks from all that savings? I thought that money was going to US billionaires. Won't they be angry?

So - tax breaks for the wealthy, along with $10K bribes for Greenlanders - what the hell do regular Americans get out of all this???? Oh, I know - MORE TAXES!!

All the Greenlanders need to do is ask Puerto Rico how it's going as a US territory. Even before Trump, we treat the Americans in our territories like garbage. That's not even a secret.

I’m confident that Greenlanders are not as stupid as Americans and won’t be fooled by Trump’s bullshit like stupid Americans.

Can we steer the conversation around Greenlanders being offered $10K back to reality? The Greenlanders would be added to the list of people that have been stiffed by Trump. Greenlanders will get zip, zilch, nada, zipperoony. 100% guaranteed.

We all know that economics; correction, basic mathematics, is not a strong suit of the Trump team. They could offer every Canadian $1,000,000/yr & we'd turn it down. BTW, ~550,000 Americans go bankrupt every year due to medical bills. Countries that have 0: Canada & dozens of others - $0.00 HC BILLS

They would also lose their universal health care. I wouldn't even want to imagine the cost to a patient that would have to rely on a US health system in such a remote location.

So we can’t feed our poor & need to gut Medicaid but let’s give $570M to bribe Greenlanders to join the US? That’s some art of the deal, ain’t it?

"Financial incentives" - Chump's words for bribes. Will he be using his own money for that? Because taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for this bullshit.

Denmark provides healthcare to Greenland. Let them know how much American style health care costs. Would probably need like $30k to offset loss in European style healthcare and retirement benefits

Greenlanders literally travel to Denmark for healthcare. I’m guessing EU retirees get better benefits than they would as Americans. $10k is not enough to offset losses in Danish benefits

Yes, but won’t they lose their universal healthcare and their language since Trump made English the official language?. It’s all insane. If he actual diplomatic abilities he’d establish friendly relations rather than threatening invasion. But Putin wants him to have it to control the arctic routes.

This is what I figured would happen in Trump's efforts to gain control of Greenland. It's a lower number than I expected though. I expect people in key positions will be offered so much more. I hope the people of Greenland understand they'll end up losing everything if they trust Trump.

While this kind of thing was expected I guess I'm also kind of glad Trump is trying to lowball them. If the guy is cheap when he's trying to schmooze you what do you think he'll do when you're no longer necessary?
