Spare me people who question Trump, not because he's doing what settlers do best, but because he's asking another colonial government to sell him their colony.
Greenland has campaigned for independence for ages. Neither the US nor Denmark has any right to own Kalaallit Nunaat.

Spare me satirical texts where the "prime minister of Denmark offers to buy the US".
Spare me jokes that turn colonialism into a fun pastime.
Spare me any commentary that doesn't centre the voices of Greenland's indigenous people.

Colonial nations have bought colonies from each other for years. It's nothing new. In fact, Scotland reluctantly joined the United Kingdom 300 years ago because it borderline bankrupted itself, mishandling colonies in the Caribbean that it shouldn't have owned in the first place.
Denmark sold its last Caribbean colony to the US in 1917.
The outrage here has nothing to do with the commodification of POC and indigenous peoples' lands, but rather with the fact that Trump openly exposed settler mentalities, that the West have tried to tone down for a while.
