Have you ever looked at a map and thought, "You know what Denmark needs? More sunshine, palm trees, and roller skates." Well, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make that dream a reality.

Let’s buy California from Donald Trump!

Yes, you heard that right.

California could be ours, and we need your help to make it happen.

The Tremendous Plan

  1. Crowdfunding Goal of $1 trillion (give or take a few billion). That’s just 200,000 kroner from every Dane. Skip a few lattes, and you’re golden.
  2. We’ll send our bestest negotiators – Lego executives and the cast of Borgen.
  3. It is in the national interest to promote the extraordinary heritage of our Nation, so California will become New Denmark. Los Angeles? More like Løs Ångeles.
  4. Danish Values: We’ll bring hygge to Hollywood, bike lanes to Beverly Hills, and organic smørrebrød to every street corner. Rule of law, universal health care and fact based politics might apply.

Måke Califørnia Great Ægain

Disclaimer: This campaign is 100% real… in our dreams

  • Donald Trump can't sell California. At best, he could sell DC maybe.
  • What's California ever done to you? They're anti-Trump. They should be left alone. Denmark should buy Florida instead: good riddance for the US, it has nice weather too and it's at no risk of being obliterated by a giant earthquake.

Wouldn't Californians prefer to be part of Denmark?

Long time resident of California. Previous resident of Denmark (never a citizen though). I'd welcome this with open arms.

Florida is damaged goods. Try selling it to China, they have less standards in what they buy.

We've heard the stories of "Floridaman", so no takers there.

He's probably better off where he is.

It's gonna sink within the next 50 to 100 years tho

A giant earthquake in Florida won't obliterate it, but one in Africa or Spain, and the resulting tsunami could.

I don't think California gives a shit what Cheeto Mussolini has to say on the matter.

But we are planning on sending that meteor to Florida...making a brand new Gulf of America...

Selling Florida does track with our used-car salesman ass President.

Shame Lemon Laws don't apply internationally - caveat emptor, Denmark.
