Someone explain to me why it's a bad idea

1. At a time when the deficit is ballooning due to Trump's tax cuts and the economy is showing signs of heading into recession, dropping trillions on a chunk of land, plus however many billions you'd have to spend to switch everything on the island over to the American system (American post office, American government, American electoral system, so on and so forth) isn't particularly sound fiscal policy.

2. More importantly, you can't just *buy* a country, what the fuck. Greenland is already in slow-motion breakaway from Denmark, they're probably not too keen on suddenly getting a different colonial overlord put in place.
