Trump warned Greenland cannot be bought

Greenland has said it is “not for sale” after President Donald Trump stated that he would like the US to buy the world’s biggest island.

The president is said to have discussed the idea of purchasing Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, during dinners and meetings with advisers.

But Greenland’s government dismissed the idea, saying: “We’re open for business, not for sale.”

Mr Trump’s plans have also been quickly dismissed by politicians in Denmark. “It must be an April Fool’s Day joke…but totally out of [season]!”, tweeted former Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen.

    DNO sorry for the reprint.I thought it got lost on the way.
    Let me remind my fellow blacks.Under Trump’s administration unemployment among blacks is the lowest in America’s history,also among Hispanics.
    Name all the presidents,more blacks were dumped in prison under Bill Clinton (Democrat).We heard a lot of talk about hundreds of thousands of blacks in prison for minor offenses.Obama came used issue in his campaign to get your votes and 8 yrs did nothing to right the wrong.But Trump you declared RACIST signed a bill giving these blacks a second chance in life.Let me say both parties voted for it.I must add also Trump’s daughter and Canye West wife(not too sure of the spelling) played a great part in bringing this bill into fruition.So just calling Republicans racist will not solve the black man’s problems.

    I was listening to the “Rich Zeoli Show” this morning on 1210 wpht radio.And he said.”Four administrations from both parties have shown an interest in acquiring Greenland.4 presidents, from both parties republican and democrat.Of course there was nothing wrong, but Trump said the same thing.Oh, he is a racist.
    While attending service yesterday morning,my eyes fell on Isaiah 52:3 where God told the nation of Israel
    “For thus says the Lord: You have have sold yourselves for nothing.”
    And my mind came straight on my fellow blacks.We have made ourselves slaves to the democratic party.All they have to tell us every election is, “all Republicans are racist.”And we vote for them 90% all the time.Can anyone tell the DNO fans one thing democrats have done to improve the black lives in the U.S.?

    This is another B/S distraction by Trump. He always comes up with some B/S when his polls go down. He should buy Canada or Mexico instead they are closer and on the US border, it would be easier to move around. Trump is full of B/S most of the Time. He will come up with some more B/S next week give them man credit he is a master of distraction. He should ask his buddy Putin if he can buy Siberia.

      Whether Trump is in his distraction mood, game or ignorance; why should Dominicans care when whatever this man does or say; our nation benefits nothing from his actions!
      Dominica is not part of America, we are not on America’s agenda: Skerrit and his second hand bride (wife); introduce Thanks giving in Dominica, and have their children born in America to ensure they have a better life here, after they fleece, and ravage the country; and it fails.
      Nevertheless, if you ask the average American if they ever heard of a place called Dominica, they might tell you yes, but if the conversation continue, you might soon find out they are knowledgeable about the “Dominican Republic” and not the Commonwealth Republic of Dominica.

      So, we watch plenty of American Television in Dominica, we try to talk like American, that is a stupid notion, since every State have their own identifiable accent, so which accent belongs to the Dominica want be American?

    Ainti Christ has been warking in Loubiere since earlier this year
    2 Thessalonians 2 King James Version (KJV)
    2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

    2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

    3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

    4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

    5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

    6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

    7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

    8 And…

    Everyone can make a little joke, now and then, except Trump.Ok, let us say if there is a referendum asking the citizens of Cuba,Venezuela and maybe all the South American countries Do you want your country to be part of the USA? it would be a re-sounding yes, with a capital Y.You noticed I didn’t name China,Not too long ago,it was on the news where Chinese pregnant women coming to the U.S. on a visitors visa, paying a guest house/health facility in California thousands of dollars just to have their babies born in the U.S.
    My beloved president is playing the media ,he would make any joke knowing the so-called media will go crazy……Let Trump, be Trump.

      “Cuba,Venezuela and maybe all the South American countries Do you want your country to be part of the USA? it would be a re-sounding yes, with a capital ”

      John, I am not picking at you, but believe you me, I can categorically and re-soundly say baloney, or simply “bull;” add the rest of the profanity to that.

      Every poor nation people do not crave America.

      I worked with people from Central, and South America, who simply packed their belongings and went home, back to where they came; some as soon as they retire they go home.

      It is only Caribbean people who crave America.

      In the Caribbean when some people see an American dollar bill they go crazy, even in Canada next door, some merchants and restaurants do not accept American money, I had the same experience in Europe.

      America is good for me, for obvious reasons but sometimes I think I could have done as well on some other Caribbean island besides Dominica.

    But guess what. ..it’s scarier than we think, only 3 sitting/incombent presidents have lost their seats since WW II. He has lots of time to cook up more sinister and racist stuff. You just know if they purchase it he will immediately throw all 53,ooo Inuit inhabitants out, make em apply for visas and then deny them before his reign is over :) :arrow: :twisted:

    I’m not a Trump Supporter, however I don’t think buying Greenland is a bad idea. Alaska was bought from Russia, Louisiana was bought from France etc.

    It’s better the US than Russia

    A country is as good as the people living in it.You are suppose to protect dominica and not hide behind it. An airophane fly in the air with so many people on board. A ship float in the sea with so much iron.Think broadly, anything is possible when use the senses God gave to you.Think positive.

    Trump thinks Greenland is like DOMINICA man, where Roosevelt is the seller and Skerrit is the buyer? Is Dominica alone Roosevelt can sell to Skerrit

      Why you hate the man so? Because the media tell you to? All the man trying to do is make his country better which is what any leader should be doing. It should be Hillary in there now so we would be in world war III already is that you all want and for how some of you like america so much to run there and shop and drop off your anchor babies you would think you would support someone who is trying to keep the country afloat. Unlike democrats who want to flood the country with criminals and beggars, who want the natives to abort their children and who support absolute garbage like transgenderism all the other LGBT nonsense.

      BTW you making a reference to Trump and the devil you should look into the things that Hillary is responsible for and I’m not even talking about the conspiracy child sacrifice stuff. I’m talking about laughing her head off at a man being killed in his own country (Ghaddafi). The woman is as evil as it gets.

        Forget Hillary, that’s history. If you are a Black person, you’d throw your kind under the bus for the sake of abortion rights and gay rights in support of a card-carrying racist, white supremacist and their beliefs to eliminate your kind?
