Danish campaigners are proposing to buy California from the United States and turn it into a territory of Denmark in response to Donald Trump’s bid to acquire Greenland. The ‘Denmarkification’ campaign says it seeks to crowdfund $1 trillion to purchase the US state, after which it plans to instill it with Danish values and make the most of its sunny weather and resources.

(…) Bosses from Danish toy giant Lego would run talks between the US and Denmark, Dutoit told Politico, because ‘dealing with children throwing tantrums over missing bricks has made them experts in negotiation.’ (…)
does everyone who happens to be there when the exchange happens…get danish citizenship?
Asking for a friend.
No but you get 33% off of your next danish.
Fun fact Denmark doesn’t have birthright citizenship. Trump could score a win in that regard by giving it to Denmark.
If so ill need to buy a camper an real quick…
I’d settle for some free Lego sets.
I like the way you think, yes.
New England wants in on this
Does that mean we could stop supporting the red states of the US on our backs? We already have and love Legoland, might as wella add Hamlet.
Trump’d probably jump at the chance to get rid of California. Should have gone for Florida or Texas.
Of course… then you’d have Florida or Texas. Euch.
Great story, but I feel I should mention that the Daily Heil does not qualify as news, due to the sheer volume of disinformation it publishes.
There’s no mention of it in news in Denmark.
All the tabloids are pointing to this page as “source”: https://denmarkification.com/
It’s obviously a satirical site. My guess is that it’s made by an American.

According to the whois data, the site is registered to someone in Reykjavik, Iceland… Not that that necessarily is correct.
Isn’t California’s GDP about ten times that of Denmark?
I guess that purchase would be quite a bargain.

I think it would technically be a reverse takeover
Can they buy Minnesota too? Or can Canada annex us? Anyone? Please?
Well if we’re doing that now: anyone interested in adopting Massachusetts?

Normally, I would complain about someone posting a Daily Mail link, but this is fucking hilarious.
Lego Land from San Diego all the way to Jupiter. 😃
California already has Solvang, so there should be minimal culture shock
Buy Maryland instead! We’re closer!
