The president-elect is renewing unsuccessful calls he made during his first term for the U.S. to buy Greenland from Denmark, adding to the list of allied countries with which he’s picking fights even before taking office on Jan. 20.

    Gee if only there was a way for countries with a surplus of one resource and a deficit of another to exchange their own surplus at some rate for what another country has.

    Perhaps even treaty agreements about the rates. The nations could maybe agree on shared intermediary token representing value.

    TRump could perhaps even name such a new visionary system of exchange after himself: “TRade”?

    We could further honour him by naming the negotiated parameters a “TRade agreement”?

    I dunno. This is some fucking bleeding edge international relations concepts, I’m certainly not equipped to wrap my head around such forward thinking.

        But Canada is up and water likes to flow down… Where’s the problem?

      Trump Aid. TrAid for short. But change the spelling to avoid litigation from Kool-Aid. TrAde. And let’s make that A lower case. Trade. Can I have a position in the administration now?
