If Trump offered you £1 million to vote for your country to become part of US, would you?

This is hypothetically one of the options available to Greenlanders.

We're Scottish. I say no, DH says take the money and move.

Sorry, for some reason I can't enable voting. I get a No Entry sign

A million?! Of course.
And I’ve just checked there are 55,000 inhabitants, it’s not a completely out of the question proposal 😳

That's 55 BILLION pounds. Where is the money coming from?

No way I would sell my soul to America and Trump.

I'd be like Jonah Hill in the diner in wolf of wall Street

No. And since many Greenlanders are indigenous people, who will be well aware of the poisoned chalice of colonisers buying land that’s not for sale, I suspect they won’t either.

Who would want to be a First Nations person living in the US (in general, and under this particular government)? I suspect they would not be “full” citizens, more like Puerto Rico.

And it is clear Trump just wants Greenland to strip it of its natural resources. I wouldn’t want my hometown turned into a polluted open cast mine guarded by the US military, even if I had £1m.

No because, I'd probably end up having to spend it all on healthcare. So not a great investment for me.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 09/01/2026 22:34

No.

MissMarplesKnittingNeedles · 09/01/2026 22:34

No, because much as I’d like the million pounds, seeing Trump ranting like a spoiled toddler because he hasn’t got his own way would be priceless.

I wouldn't trust him to actually pay it

Actually this is a good point. He lies.

MovedlikeHarlowinMonteCarlo · 09/01/2026 22:33

I'd like to say no but a million quid? I'd probably accept it tbh.

EmeraldDreams73 · 09/01/2026 22:32

Absolutely not.

sittingonabeach · 09/01/2026 22:32

No

Seventyandlovingit · 09/01/2026 22:32

No

TakeMe2Insanity · 09/01/2026 22:31

Hell no!

Sminty2 · 09/01/2026 22:31

No.

RessicaJabbit · 09/01/2026 22:31

Lol, no.

Shakeoffyourchains · 09/01/2026 22:30

Not a chance in hell. I'm not a selfish prick and wouldn't throw future generations under the bus like that.
