Trump wants to purchase Greenland because it contains an estimated $10 trillion of oil and gas.

The American people are seeing the propaganda. Well, the latest laughing stock, ladies and gentlemen, is that Trump wants to purchase, or look into purchasing, the biggest island in the world with an estimated $10 trillion of oil and gas on it. Oh, you'd never want to buy that for a few billion bucks.

The proposal to purchase Greenland for $840 billion is financially unviable and would require insane tax hikes.

Does he realize that something like that would require insane tax hikes? I can't stress this enough. This is completely unhinged and a batshit idea for him to justify this kind of shit. And it fully contradicts the positions he's pretended to support for the entirety of his career. Can you imagine Ron Paul advocating for paying $840 billion to buy Greenland? It's crazy.

Alex Jones advocates for the United States to buy Greenland through a referendum.

So in this next clip, Alex just directly is advocating for colonizing. Sure. Great. And we could go in there and have a referendum and buy it from them for nothing. And then they would get major investment and then major amounts of people moving there. And then everybody will be trying to move to... Greenland, 50 years after we buy it.
