Trump was angry enough at Denmark for refusing to sell Greenland, that he canceled a scheduled trip to talk with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
While most countries probably view this as an example of Trump's mental decline, one of his ardent supporters, Ajax Beauregard of God's Wrath, Georgia, stated this desire to buy Greenland was "a superb example of preemptive horsetrading. The offer of 5 trillion dollars was more than fair considering that hoax about melting glaciers".

Had the sale occurred, pretty sure Trump would have sought to change the name to Trumpland.

Would the people living there be able to stay? Denmark is reported to be the happiest country.They along with the other Nordic countries have market economies but also a good safety net. .

is that safety net woven from the heavy thread of US military subsidies?

Those former Greenland residents might even enjoy increased employment working at the brand new Trumpworld Hotel Resort and Casino at Trumpland.
