GOP fundraises off Greenland flap: 'Support President Trump and his efforts to help America grow!'
Source: Politico
House Republicans campaign arm is not only standing behind President Donald Trumps bid to buy Greenland it's fundraising off it.
The National Republican Congressional Committee began running a promotion in which donors contributing $25 or more receive a limited-edition T-shirt depicting the semiautonomous Arctic island, part of the Kingdom of Denmark, as part of the U.S.
Support President Trump and his efforts to help America grow! reads the promotion touting the limited-edition tee. The red shirt features a map of the continental U.S., along with silhouettes of Alaska, Hawaii and Greenland patterned with the American flag.
The presidents interest in acquiring Greenland, initially assumed by some in the White House to be a throwaway comment, has grown into an international flap after The Wall Street Journal reported on it a week ago.

(9,688 posts)In the unlikely case that anyone here is under the illusion that the Republican party is not wholly in bed with Trump, here you are. A good reminder that our problems will not disappear automatically even when MF45 is ousted from the White House (November 2020 or, hopefully, earlier) A lot of work still to do!

The Republican Party would cease to exist if we add more states.

The Greenland bid is a piece of Trump's role in a criminal international oligarchy. Climate change will open up new oil fields and mineral deposits there, and as Robert Mueller pointed out in a speech to the FBI in 2011, cornering resources is the future of international crime:
