Sometimes it appears as if we are all living in a Alice in Wonderland type of world where every day feels like April Fools Day and nothing can be taken at face value.
The latest development in the US acquisition of Greenland has seen Georgia Representative Buddy Carter create a bill that suggests that Greenland’s name will change to “Red, White, and Blueland.”
Danes respond to Trump with petition to buy California and rename it New Denmark
Amused Danes have not taken this lying down and have created a petition entitled ‘Make California Great Again’ through the ‘Denmarkification’ of America’s most economically viable State.
The organisers have some pretty clear ideas of the future for what they will name ‘New Denmark’ as Disneyland will be renamed Hans Christian Andersenland and Mickey Mouse will appear in a Viking helmet.
Considering that Donald Trump branded California as “the most ruined state in the Union” and California’s Secretary of State Shirley Webster permitted a campaign to begin collecting signatures to vote to secede from the U.S. and become an independent country, they feel that if the money is right (at least $1 trillion) a sale could be agreed.
They are going to bring in the best negotiators in Denmark, those from Lego and the cast of hit political TV series Borgen to ensure that the deal is watertight and they have promised to supply President Trump with a non-stop supply of Danish pastries once the deal is completed.

To date, with a population of just under six million, some 207,000 have signed the petition and they are expecting to reach at least 500,000 in the next few weeks whilst it appears that you don’t have to be Danish in order to support the petition at https://denmarkification.com/.
The organisers ask “Have you ever looked at a map and thought, ‘You know what Denmark needs? More sunshine, palm trees, and roller skates as well as access to avocado on toast forever.”
Although highly unlikely, there is a vague possibility that Los Angeles will one day become the capital of ‘New Denmark’ but renamed Løs Ångeles.
At the moment it seems that even the maddest of plans have some possibility of becoming reality although the organisers admit it is all rather tongue in cheek.
