You can't buy an "autonomous territory" of another country like it's a hotel.

IMO...they should say...Sure we'll sell Greenland to you....leave the office immediately, take all of your traitorous cronies with you, cough up $20,000,000,000,000.00 (cash), move in and it's yours. We'll immigrate all of our residents to the US, since it will now be inhabitable without you and your ilk. What win win for everyone. Oh, and you get no help with infrastructure, planning, etc. For sale As-Is, no take backs.

It would have to be a big improvement over Trump, his Senate, and his Supreme Court.
