In Donald Trump’s post announcing his pick for ambassador to Denmark on Sunday, the president-elect again suggested he wants the U.S. to buy and control Greenland.
The president-elect said he was choosing Ken Howery, co-founder of PayPal and Trump’s former ambassador to Sweden, for the role.
“As a Co-Founder of PayPal and venture capital fund, Founders Fund, Ken turned American Innovation and Tech leadership into Global success stories, and that experience will be invaluable in representing us abroad,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity,” he continued. “Ken will do a wonderful job in representing the interests of the United States.”
He did not elaborate further on the Greenland comment, but Trump has previously expressed interest in purchasing the autonomous Danish territory located between the Arctic and North Atlantic oceans.
TVNL Comment: The idea of buying and selling countries is preposterous, if not abjectly stupid. Donald thinks he is in Walmart.
