No hope of statehood during the Trumpocracy.
Greenland is about 90% non-Caucasian, more than Puerto Rico and with fewer palm trees

Population 55,000. All it takes is a few oil drills worth of workers shipped in and suddenly its majority white.
Is there oil beneath Greenland? I have no idea. Certainly there is oil beneath the artic sea, I just dont know how much or if any is also beneath greenland. -
Yep . They name it Trumpland and bring in 30,000 white guys to drill wells and it is A state .

According to Wikipedia, "Greenland is believed by some geologists to have some of the world’s largest remaining oil resources"

Easier to make it a prison colony.

it operates as an independent territory of Denmark at the moment

Greenland belongs to the Inuit and the Danes, whose ancient claims to that frozen land are arguably legitimate. A colonial power like the US has no business being there at all. The old excuse was to threaten the Russians with airplanes. What's the new excuse, beat the Russians to the oil?
Who belongs in cold places, Americans or Russians? Alaska is still culturally more Russian than American. Better to see Greenland occupied by Russians, and Alaska too. They know what to do in the cold, we don't. -
Danes would put it out for bid. Saudis would win.

Correct : it DID belong to the Danes and Inuit . Now Trump will own it . Send it ICE to kick out anyone who isn’t a US citizen . Send them back to Iceland . -

That ironic mission would be overshadowed by the greater irony of "ice" agents freezing their azzes off and crying to go home!
All Russia has to do is land half the population of Yakutsk there and it's game over. -

Make the Danes Great Again... -
If the USA owned Greenland we would strategically literally be in a better position then Russia and make Putin quiver in the Kremlin.

Trump thinking long term. Once all the ice on Greenland melts, lots of land to develop. Future Trump projects galore!

Come get it then! Come get some. We have Thor on our side (and not the version you saw in A:Endgame).
- Correction: The people in Greenland does not descend from Iceland.
Better yet, we have the indoor WR on 800m. So what ya gonna do? Send over Galen Rupp to show us some second-tier running? -

Russia is already trying to claim the oil reserves under the arctic. This is from 2007. -
Why would they make Greenland a State before DC and Puerto Rico?
-
If Puerto Rico can't be a state, despite being a territory and it's residents being US citizens, then there is no chance of Greenland becoming the 51st state. Currently it is a Danish territory and they aren't willing to give it up.

Do it, Donny! Make Greenland, Puerto Rico, and D.C. states. You get to add three new stars to that super huggable flag that your love and the Senate gets six new members with (D) behind their name. Bigly tremendous idea!!!
