Well, here we go again. Leave it to House Republicans—and especially President-elect Donald Trump—to revive an idea that drove globalists and woke pundits absolutely insane the first time around.
That’s right: the push to buy Greenland is back, and this time it’s not just talk—it’s legislative action. Congressman Andy Ogles (R-TN) has officially introduced the “Make Greenland Great Again Act,” paving the way for Trump to negotiate with Denmark to acquire the massive, resource-rich territory. And let’s be honest: the timing, the framing, and the messaging? Pure Trump.
Let’s cut to the chase. The bill authorizes the president to initiate negotiations with the Kingdom of Denmark for the purchase of Greenland at 12:01 p.m. EST on January 20, 2025—exactly one minute after Trump takes the oath of office for his second term. Coincidence? Not a chance. This is Trump’s way of doubling down on one of his boldest foreign policy ideas, and the fact that it drives the global elite into a frothing panic only sweetens the deal.
Remember when Trump first floated the idea of buying Greenland back in 2019? The left laughed it off as a joke, the media mocked him, and Denmark’s leaders huffed and puffed in righteous indignation. But here’s the thing: when you strip away the political theater, the proposal makes perfect sense. Greenland is loaded with untapped natural resources, strategically positioned for Arctic trade routes, and critical for military security in an era when China and Russia are both eyeing the region like vultures. Trump wasn’t just throwing darts at a map—he was thinking long-term.
And now, Congressman Ogles and his GOP colleagues are turning that vision into legislative action. The bill is airtight. It requires the president to submit any finalized agreement with Denmark to Congress for review within five days of the deal, with a 60-day review period for lawmakers to approve or disapprove. In other words, this isn’t some backroom handshake—it’s a transparent, structured plan to get Greenland on board.
Ogles didn’t mince words when introducing the bill. He pointedly noted that “American economic and security interests will no longer take a backseat,” signaling that House Republicans are all in on delivering for Trump’s agenda. And why not? The geopolitical stakes are higher than ever. China is busy building icebreaker ships and angling for influence in the Arctic, and Russia’s been flexing its muscles in the region for years. The U.S., meanwhile, has been caught flat-footed—until now.
Naturally, the left and their media allies will try to spin this as more “Trumpian chaos,” ignoring the fact that this isn’t a new idea. The U.S. considered buying Greenland as far back as 1946, under President Truman. Back then, the deal fell through, and guess what? The Cold War made Greenland’s strategic importance undeniable. Trump’s just picking up where history left off.
And let’s not overlook the bigger picture here. The Make Greenland Great Again Act isn’t just about Greenland. It’s part of a broader movement among House Republicans to embrace Trump’s bold foreign policy initiatives. Other GOP-led bills propose renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” and revisiting U.S. control of the Panama Canal. The message is clear: America is done playing second fiddle on the global stage.
So, here we are. The left will clutch their pearls, the pundits will scoff, and Denmark’s leaders will likely protest—publicly, at least. But behind closed doors? They might just be calculating the economic and security benefits of striking a deal. And when that garbage truck rolls down Pennsylvania Avenue on Inauguration Day, don’t be surprised if Trump’s already working on his pitch: “How do you like the idea of Greenland in red, white, and blue?”
