Oh Wow. Now I know why Trump wants Greenland.

It’s huge! Twice the size of the States; A bigger deal than the Louisiana Purchase! And think of all those rare valuable gems like Blue Ice Glacierite: Easier than digging up U-Crane shite any day!

Genius. Pure Fecal Genius.

1. If TSF wants Greenland so badly, then why doesn't he want it as another state,

such as Canada?

[usedtobedemgurl]

15. I believe yesterday he said that exact thing

He said it would be a great 53rd state, after Canada.

2. Just another Nothing Burger tossed out to distract from the real evil he is doing elsewhere.

3. Thank you Mr. Mercator for your projection.

[unblock]

6. Everything they do is projection

4. He wants to rule the bigger country in territory than Russia.

Therefore he has to annex Canada, Greenland with Ukraine, Panama and Gaza as protectorates.

At it's peak, the British Empire ruled 1/5 of the world's land mass and 1/4 of the world's people. I don't put that ambition beyond him.

5. Not twice the size of the USA, map projections distort closer to the Poles:

Greenland: 836,000 sq miles
USA: 3,810,000 sq miles

Greenland is roughly three times the size of the state of Texas.

8. I think the OP is making a joke

It struck me as obvious sarcasm.

Mercator Projections distort reality, as you point out. Trump, MAGAs and Republicans are similar in that they distort reality beyond recognition.

11. Here's a nice visual

12. Whoosh!

18. Since 6 people have rec my post I am not the only one who thought that might have been a semi-serious comment

Trust me, we have seen much sillier things said about stuff liking "blowing up the Moon!" etc

19. 7 recs

including yourself

7. He will need to speed up the melting of those pesky glaciers

10. I think you are forgetting The Blue Ice Glacierite.

It’s everywhere in Greenland! Melania told Jerkov all about it.

BLUE ICE GLACIERITE

Like a plunge into the icy blue Arctic Sea, this rare Tumbled Blue Ice Glacierite awakens the senses, reinvigorates the spirit, and inspires positive energy flow.

9. I honestly think that he wants it because

He’s a child and he wants “his” area of the map to look really big. He’s jealous of his buddy Putin having so much map space.

13. Here's another visualization of the Mercator projection size distortion:

Here's Greenland superimposed on Africa:

16. I still believe that Trump must have lost at Risk (a lot) at school

Too many, oh noes they got me through Greenland again...

[MineralMan]

17. Typical Trumpial Projection

In reality, here are the land areas of Greenland and the USA, in square miles:

836,300 mi² Greenland

3,810,000 mi² USA

That's a different projection, isn't it?

20. He desperately wants to be remembered as the GOAT president.

And right now, the desperation is starting to reek something fierce.
