After rebuffing Donald J. Trump’s hypothetical proposal to purchase Greenland, the government of Denmark has announced that it would be interested in buying the United States instead.
“As we have stated, Greenland is not for sale,” a spokesperson for the Danish government said on Friday. “We have noted, however, that during the Trump regime pretty much everything in the United States, including its government, has most definitely been for sale.”
“Denmark would be interested in purchasing the United States in its entirety, with the exception of its government,” the spokesperson added.
“We believe that, by giving the U.S. an educational system and national health care, it could be transformed from a vast land mass into a great nation,’ the spokesperson said.
This is funny. It’s satire. The claim originally stems from a 2019 satire article published by The New Yorker. All three quotes included in the Threads post are taken from the article verbatim.
