    And a more prudent governance approach would be to do a benefit-cost analysis, or at least ask the OMB to estimate HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO COST and HOW WiLL IT BE PAID FOR?

    Oh wait ... just ask Elno.

    If this is winning, I am afraid what is it like to lose.

    Such a waste of time, money and resources. Glad he is fixing the real problems.

    Dear Leader said recently bringing down inflation “it’s very hard” & won’t be doing that anytime soon. And for Ukraine, his team is now saying “Let's set it at 100 days”, so another missed timeline. So instead, distract the followers with culture wars and useless renaming of stuff. Maybe he can spend next few weeks on an another paint redesign of Air Force 1 or setting up a McDonalds menu for the Ohio State WH visit.

    I don't think he is that smart.

    No way! He was just lying the whole time?!

    Also; I think he's pretty busy scamming people on cryptocurrency.

    In 1867 President Andrew Johnson thought about trying to buy Greenland. So did President William Taft in 1910.
    During the Second World War the US occupied Greenland to prevent anyone else from getting access to it, and in
    1946 President Harry Truman made Denmark another offer for it.

    Donald Trump isn't the first US president to want Greenland - here's why

    I think it's incredibly stupid. Hopefully it doesn't make it any further than whatever mentions he has lined up for referencing it. I don't think the public should spend anything on it other than a few chuckles at the absurdity of it all. Maybe someone can ask him why we didn't shoot for something bigger like the Atlantic Ocean. Or why he didn't insist on something more state-centric like the Gulf of FLORIDA.

    Go GATORS!

    Of course not.

    Millions of $$$ wasted for Trump's VANITY project.
