Donald Trump has offered to purchase Greenland. He wants to take the Panama Canal by brute force and keeps suggesting that Canada should become a State in order to avoid his oncoming tariffs. Meanwhile, Musk 'donated' about 250,000,000 USD to Trumps election campaign helping ensure he won and now we are all watching the US become an oligarchy. (Effectively Trump is owned by Musk).

Donald Trump has offered to purchase Greenland.

No, Trump has been saying, in a threatening way, that Greenland is going to be part of the United States. He hasn't suggested buying it, but he hasn't ruled out taking it with military force.

No. Musk bought a little influence and so far hasn't pissed Trump off enough that he's been cut off. But, it's just a matter of time.

He has asked to buy it several times, not sure where you have been.

Nice to see that Mush bought influence with Drump. I personally am not going to play the game of talking about them not getting along. These two clowns trying to play good cop bad cop when they are both heels is pretty stupid.

It's both. He keeps asking how much for Greenland while suggestively saying it's necessary for security. So threat and purchase offer. Like a true criminal.
