Summary
In response to Trump’s renewed push to buy Greenland, a satirical Danish petition proposes buying California, gathering over 200,000 signatures.
The petition jokes about bringing “hygge” to Hollywood, “bike lanes to Beverly Hills, and organic smørrebrød to every street corner,” while also suggesting that “rule of law, universal healthcare, and fact-based politics might apply,” mocking Trump’s tense relationship with California and its governor, Gavin Newsom.
Meanwhile, Trump’s Greenland ambitions remain serious, with a Republican congressman introducing a bill to buy and rename it “Red, White and Blueland.”
Danish and Greenlandic leaders firmly reject any sale, asserting Greenland’s right to self-determination. The petition aims to crowdfund $1 trillion as a joke.

California should have a referendum on this
As a resident of California, I’d vote yes. California would become part of the EU 🇪🇺
If this were to happen i would sell everything to move back to my true home: The Golden State, California.
And I might consider visiting that state! It seems so nice, but being part of that country …
Californians are going to contribute to the crowdfunding.
As an unemployed and homeless Californian with a small savings, I’ll throw in $25.
ambitions remain serious
“Red, White and Blueland."
I have no doubt both things can be true at the same time but god fucking damn
they’re seriously clowns
If both are true I hope that they’re able to find more effective treatment.
Step 1 - lay out white fabric
Step 2 - mix red, white and blue paint together
Step 3 - paint a swastica on the new flag
Mission accomplished
Funny joke, but California’s economy is waaaay bigger than Denmark’s. CA is like the 5th largest in the world. Denmark is like 37.
Yes, sure, but look at it this way: California and Denmark together would be the world’s 5th largest economy!
Maybe even fifth and a half.
I’m on board so long as we switch to a language that’s actually pronounceable like Norwegian or something.
Danish is a garbage language for garbage people.
Kamelåså
Maybe Californians could be taught all the major Nordic languages. Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic and, of course, Finnish.
Finnish
So true, I recommend starting with the good old “Kokko, kokoo koko kokko kokoon”.
hello. illinois here danes. we are part of the great lakes consortium.
From the Mitten to the Mississippi, we will always be free!
Can’t rule out taking it by force.
Speaking as a Californian, they might be greeted as liberators.
You might think it’s a good thing, but in 10 years you might think differently when you have stepped on Lego blocks almost every day. I mean, you’d get healthcare, there won’t be guns anymore you can feel safe wherever you go, your kids will be safe in schools with proper education no matter your skin color, there will be proper bike and public transportation infrastructure so roads will get safer and there will be less traffic jams, etc etc. But those damn Lego blocks man.
‘If I’m elected, there’ll be 50 percent less Lego blocks on the floor. That’s more than half we have to deal with these days. I know a guy, a real smart guy, that knows how, and I’ve seen it, to melt Lego bricks. He’ll eradicate these bothersome Lego bricks so we don’t have to tip toe around them any more.’
Trump might sell it too.
This should be removed for changing the headline. It’s Red, White and Blue Land now. /s
