MAGA supporters have everyone rolling their eyes after they suggested President Donald Trump's son Barron Trump could marry 18-year-old Princess Isabella of Denmark in exchange for Greenland.
Greenland is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark and is, alongside the Faroe Islands, the only other autonomous territory within the Kingdom. Citizens of both Greenland and the Faroe Islands are full citizens of Denmark. As one of the Overseas Countries and Territories of the European Union, Greenland’s citizens are also recognized as EU citizens.
Last week, the White House said it was not ruling out military action to acquire Greenland from Denmark, a NATO ally. Under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, NATO’s collective defense clause, an attack on one member state is treated as an attack on the entire alliance.
At a news conference in Copenhagen, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen condemned the "completely unacceptable pressure from our closest ally." Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Greenland's Prime Minister, stressed "if we have to choose between the United States and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark."
To get around this pushback, one MAGA social media user made the following suggestion that went viral:
"The simple diplomatic solution is Barron Trump marries Princess Isabella of Denmark and Greenland is given to America as dowry payment."

Far-right commentator Megyn Kelly co-signed the suggestion, calling the social media user who suggested it the "Henry(Etta) Kissinger of our time."
MAGA followers loved the medieval idea... even going so far in some cases as to share AI-generated images of Barron Trump and Princess Isabella as husband and wife.
Others were not amused however.
When asked about Greenland last week, Trump said "ownership is very important," dismissing the fact the territory is under the control of a key ally. He insisted the U.S should control the territory "because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success."
Denmark’s foreign minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, and Greenland’s foreign minister, Vivian Motzfeldt, are set to meet at the White House on Wednesday for talks with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
