Trump wants to buy Greenland and Canada, rename the gulf of Mexico to the gulf of America, and take control of the Panama canal

Trump wants to invade Greenland and Panama. He wants to extort Canada into having no other choice than to submit to statehood.

Apologies, I don't follow Trump crap too closely since I'm in the EU and I don't want to turn into a doomer so I based it off the pic

But yeah all in all fuck Trump

He has no interest in buying either Canada or Greenland. He hasn't ruled out using force though.

Who even gets the money when you buy a country? Does it go to the people? If it does then that money is coming right back through taxes.

Historically, the king / emperor gets it. I'm guessing that most of the time it's probably used to pay down war debts.
