A petition has been floated to counter President Donald Trump’s aggression to grab Greenland, claiming that California should then come to Denmark. The petition is satirical but is gaining support and already collected around 290K signatures. They said Trump might even agree to sell Dem-ruled California as he is not California’s biggest fan, and if he’s given the right price, the businessman Trump would be willing to part with it. “Have you ever looked at a map and thought, “You know what Denmark needs? More sunshine, palm trees, and roller skates.” Well, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make that dream a reality. Let’s buy California from Donald Trump! Yes, you heard that right. California could be ours, and we need your help to make it happen,” the pitch said.
This is, however, not a new petition and was first reported in February 2025 as Trump expressed interest in acquiring Greenland for the first time in 2019 and renewed the call soon after taking charge last year.
