$1m would be insulting.
$10k is beyond insulting. That's probably one the cheapest entry fees to one of his disgusting Mar-a-Lago fundraisers.
Trump really has a knack for insulting people. He's basically saying "You're worth a fifth of a Tesla car". How cheap can you be...

Ten thousand US dollar as personal money for leaving democracy and entering a dictatorship (or at least an autocracy)? Err…
I'm in the US, where's my $10,000?
This promotion is for new customers only.
"We'll give you ten grand for the opportunity to be deported to an El Salvadoran prison if we don't like you. It's a great deal!"
And don't forget to say "Thank you".
The money isn't for you to spend though, it's for your relocation. Because you WILL be sent to El Salvador.
The plan would replace the $600 million in subsidies Denmark gives the island each year
A quick google tells me Greenland has a population of ~57,000. At $10k per resident, that's $570 million.
On money alone, his offer is less than what they already receive, and unless he's pitching for some sort of UBI it'll be a one-time payment instead of annual. Is this the art of the deal they keep talking about?
The right-wing tactic of dismantling a program or getting a discount by offering lump sum cash up front, instead of better value in programs and services.
They prey on desperate, uneducated people who see the money in front of them.
10,000 * 56,583 ~= 566 million < 600 million.
Bruh, he doesn't even want to pay out the annual subsidy once.
10k of MY FUCKING TAX MONEY, you stupid ape!
McDonald's do your job already. This is getting ridiculous.
And...then?
-
Greenland still belongs to Denmark even if you give 99999999 gazillion to each Greenlander
-
I don't think anyone in Greenland is dumb enough to sell out their country for 10k to then live in a country where you will pay out of your ass in taxes, handing those 10k right back to the IRS in 5 years tops.
-
Greenlanders would have to call themselves "Americans" henceforth, which is considered an insult and lower class of civilization world-wide.
Why so stingy? The Greenland population is about 56,000. You could offer every Greenlander a million dollars, and it would only come to $56 billion, still a bargain in the grand scheme of things. If you actually want to buy someone's country out from under them, that's the kind of money you need to be talking about.
But a UBI would be economically unviable.
Lmao ok.
I read someplace that theres about 17 trillion in minerals and oil in greenland. ~57000 population of greenland, so paying for just the mineral wealth not the land and other resources, he'd owe each inhabitant about 298 million. each. So he's paying them 1 /30,000th of what he should be offering.
Who in their right mind would trust the US right now? Or ever really…the US undid so much precedent over the last few months that it is laughable to even consider trusting them.
For anyone who voted for Trump because your cost of living is too high... How y'all feeling about this?
Trump wants to give everyone in Greenland $10k. Where's your $10k? What the actual fuck has this guy done to help you out so far?
How is it that DOGE has to force your grandma to walk to an office for her social security because a phone line was too expensive, but Trump has money to throw $600m a year at this?
Nobody said per year. That 10k is so they can get the fuck off americas new playground. One time.
Lol, literally fucking stealing from tax payer after crashing the economy so that he can pay off a foreign country to join the scam
Trump is notorious for stiffing people he owes money to
The fuck?! As if Kalaaliit culture is worth only 10K to each person. US can get stuffed. Culture is priceless.
WTF!!
What a moronic proposal, as it is, Denmark is helping them with much more than that each year.
Greenland only has 56.669 inhabitants, giving everyone including children would only amount to 567 million!!
In direct Regional financial support alone Denmark is sending about 600 million USD per year.
And that's apart from paying for instance police and military support.
And Greenland is tax exempt too!!
What a demeaning cheapskate offer.
I believe Greenland should have the right to decide for themselves.
But as a Dane, I find that offer insulting!
Would that even pay for the first year of medical insurance that you will need?
Take the money and tell him to fuck off. He's a con artist. Have him lose at his own game.
If it was taken seriously, Trump would promise the million after annexing them. Then would never pay and say he did. (Also absolutely insane that this is even a conversation)
So if that's valid, could some states get bought by other countries? Hell, I bet many residents in some states would pay to have it be part of a different country.
Why do we need Greenland? Is it so we can easily attack Russia or something? Isn't Alaska pretty fucking close? Like what is the reason for annexing Greenland?
Mineral rights and control of what will be a major shipping route as the North opens up due to climate change.
Fuck that's insane. Makes perfect sense but holy shit. I fucking hate this planet and this country even more.
There is a shipping route opening up that would enable Asian-Europen-American trade via a about 2/3 shorter route than currently possible. It would make any route through the Suez canals or around Africa pointless. This might not sound important right now, but it would fundamentally change the fortunes of countries and reshape the world.

10k to live in a dictatorship, or wait 6 months and stay in a sane country? He's stupider every day.
Oh gee Mr Trump a whole 10000, I can buy so many bubblegum with that
