If you've ever considered moving to California, now is the time to act, because it might soon be part of Denmark, thank God.
Not really (well, probably not anyway), but that is what the European nation is telling the Trump Administration after its attempts to "buy" Greenland, which is not even for sale.
Funny how MAGA gets so mad whenever you compare Trump to Hitler but then they have nothing to say when he tries to do the exact kinda stuff Hitler used to do, like annexing sovereign nations.
Anyway! Over 200,000 citizens of Denmark, of which Greenland is a territory, signed a petition to "buy" California in response to Trump's ludicrous attempted power grab of the mineral-rich arctic island.
The petition, titled "Denmarkification," proposes bringing "hygge to Hollywood," along with bike lanes and smørrebrød, a type of Danish rye bread, "to every street corner."

The petition asks each Dane to contribute 200,000 kroner, or about $28,000, to pool together the $1 trillion price tag for "New Denmark" because:
"It is in the national interest to promote the extraordinary heritage of our Nation, so California will become New Denmark. Los Angeles? More like Løs Ångeles."
Many Danes would likely feel right at home in California, or at least a section of it near Santa Barbara, where the Danish-themed town of Solvang—founded by three Danes in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley wine country—is known as the "Danish capital of America."
The Danish petition goes on to posit that Trump will be eager to sell the state because of his well-known hatred for it and its Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom. Surely he'd be thrilled to have the albatross of the world's fifth-largest economy off his neck, right?
It then trolls the President, and America in general, with some terms and conditions:
"Rule of law, universal health care and fact-based politics might apply."
If only.
On social media, the plan had plenty of supporters, especially among Californians themselves.
Of course the story has also incensed many conservatives online, who wouldn't know a sense of humor if it jumped up and bit them on their face, and are constantly outraged despite having won everything they've ever wanted in the past three months.
All jokes aside, Trump's desire to seize Greenland is simultaneously deeply stupid and kind of disturbing.
In the former camp is a recently proposed bill that would rename the country "Red, White and Blueland" because America is now beyond parody.
In the latter camp, however, is the response of the Prime Minister of Greenland, which, like many territories, is not even keen on being part of its current ruling country, let alone being seized by the dumbest dictator in history.
Prime Minister Múte B. Egede said:
“Greenland is for the Greenlandic people. We do not want to be Danish, we do not want to be American. We want to be Greenlandic.”
Not that Trump cares, of course.
