President Trump has asked aides if it's possible to buy Greenland, sources say

President Donald Trump has on multiple occasions brought up buying Greenland from the Danish government and the White House counsel's office has looked into the possibility, two sources told CNN on Thursday.

Trump's interest in buying Greenland was first reported Thursday by The Wall Street Journal. The Journal reported that people familiar with the deliberations said the president has raised the issue during meetings and dinners, asking aides about the possibility and advantages of owning Greenland. He also asked his White House counsel to research the matter, according to two of the people.

Two of the people also told the Journal that Trump's aides were divided on the issue, with some praising it as solid economic strategy and others dismissing it as a passing fancy.

If he buys it, since he supposedly does not keep his salary, he can use it to buy one way tickets to all of those who say they will leave the US if he is re-elected.

The same thing was said when the United States bought Alaska from Russia. Guess who got the last laugh. (Hint...it was not Russia)
