Basically, yes, and no, respectively.

By all reports, he asked quite a few people in his administration during his trip if the US could buy Greenland many times - not just once, but repeatedly. And answers ranged from "Hahahahaha, that's quite the ridiculous remark, sir!" to "Actually, you never know - let me contact a Danish official and see what we get. [Two hours later] Danish official says no."

Unfortunately, while this is clearly an exhibition of insane thinking, the BBC has pointed out - and I'll never forgive the BBC for this - that there are two precedents in history for such a line of inquiry; both Andrew Jackson and Harry Truman made serious offers to Denmark for Greenland that didn't go anywhere. So while this is definitely a symptom of Trump having no go***mned mind at all, it can be argued that this is merely an extension of an inquiry that the United States has already made in the past.

You know, acting on a hunch I did a Google - turns out, it was the same guy. And it was Johnson, not Jackson - my mistake.

But yeah, exact same guy who bought Alaska tried to buy Greenland as well.

I've heard it's very beautiful at the right time of year. Iceland's as close as I've ever been.

June is when the mosquitoes are worst, and late fall you might have a better shot at auroras. But whatever works.

Not that I agree with buying Greenland, but to be fair it's an almost completely untapped resource supply that Denmark is incapable of utilising. It's basically paying for land to set up oil rigs, docks and mines.

You know what else is a valuable resource? Our health.
