He should buy Greenland, there are so many upsides to a purchase:

1. Military and commercial control of the arctic
2. Resource development/mining and drilling
3. Real-estate development
4. Retail business
5. Transport industry
6. Fishing industry

Mr Trump would like a new golf course and hotel in exotic places, so this would fit point 3. Also with weather patterns changing, Greenland might actually become green (rather than white) so its like a long term investment. Perhaps it would become associated state like Puerto Rico, no voting in congress.

That's a two mile thick slab of ice, millions of square miles of it.

Don't the ice. We could bottle that water up and sell it.

And all they have to do is pump oxygen into the methane under the ice, and ignite it... to melt the ice for bottling. If they run out of methane, maybe they can buy Iceland, and use the methane under it.

Just think. All that CO2 that will be produced, will make its way down to Brazil, and will replenish the jungles they are burning down there.

Cool
