The satirical request of “Denmark” to buy California in the United States has won online traction after the current attempt of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, to acquire Greenland.
The request onlineThat he has obtained more than 200,000 signatures, begins with “Måke Califørnia Great Ægain” at the top of the petition website.
“Los Angeles? More like Løs Ångels. Have you ever looked at a map and thought: 'You know what Denmark needs? More sun, palm trees and roller skates,” says the campaign's website.
“Well, we have a unique opportunity in life to make that dream come true,” he continues. “We Compete California to Donald Trump!”
The Danes are encouraged who have signed the request to donate for the objective of collection of $ 1 billion funds: “give or take a few billion” and the objective of 500,000 signatures.
There are also five main incentives for the Danes to sign the petition: sun, technology, avocado toast, protecting the free world and Disneyland, which the petition calls to change the name of “Hans Christian Andersenland”, after the author of Fairy tale Danish of The Little Mermaid.
“Mickey Mouse in a Viking helmet? Yes, please, ”says the request.
“Trump is not exactly the greatest fan of California. He called it “the most ruined state of the Union” and has fought with its leaders for years. We are quite sure that he would be willing to separate from the right price. “
The website also suggests sending its best negotiators, including Lego executives, to help buy California.

“We will even launch a supply of Danish cakes for life to sweeten the agreement,” according to the petition. “As for the will of citizens? Well, let's be honest, when has that stopped? If Trump wants to sell California, he will sell California. “
But, of course, each request needs a small impression, at the bottom: “Discharge of responsibility: this campaign is 100% real … in our dreams.”

Xavier Dutoit, the organizer of the petition, had the idea last month while on vacation in the Philippines. He listened to an American tourist arguing aloud Trump's launch in Greenland.
“That American did not seem to understand how deranged and absurd said The Associated Press.
The petition has earned more attention after a New bill presented by the American Republican representative Buddy Carter on Tuesday.
The bill would give Trump the power to go into negotiations with Denmark to acquire Greenland and change the name of “red, white and blue” if you approve the camera and the Senate.
“The United States has returned and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of red, white and blue,” Carter said In a statement. “President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome his people to unite the freer nation so that he has existed when our chief negotiator assumes this treatment this treatment monumental”.
Carter's new proposal offers the Office of the Secretary of the Interior six months after the possible approval of the bill to ensure that federal documents that reflect the new name of “red, white and blue blue” are updated.
Last month, the Danish politician Anders Vistisen did not stop when he issued a public message to Trump about his launch to make Greenlandia be part of the United States.
“Dear President Trump, listening closely,” said Vestisen in the European Parliament. “Greenland has been part of the Danish kingdom for 800 years. It is an integrated part of our country. It is not on sale. “

Vistisen went on to use blasphemy that put it in trouble with the rest of the European Parliament.
“Let me put it into words you can understand,” he said. “Lord. Trump, f – k outside!
Nicolae Stefanuta, vice president of the European Parliament, jumped and told Vistisen that language was not acceptable.
“If the translation was correct, the term you used is not allowed in this house and there will be consequences in the message it has used,” Stefanuta said. “It is not right in this Chamber of Democracy. Thank you. Regardless of what we think of Mr. Trump, it is not possible to use that language. “
The journalists asked Trump about Greenland after assuming office on January 20.
“Greenland is a wonderful place, we need it for international security,” Trump replied. “I am sure that Denmark will come, it is costing a lot of money to keep it, keep it.”
On January 21, the Prime Minister of Greenland, Mute B. Egede, addressed Trump's comments on the territory.
“We are Greenlandés. We don't want to be Americans. Nor do we want to be Danish. Greenland's future will be decided by Greenland. Our country and our people will decide what happens to Greenland. ”

In January, Trump said he would not rule out the use of strength or economic pressure to make Greenland, a semi -autonomous territory of Denmark, part of the United States. He insisted that it was a matter of national security for the United States.
“We need Greenland for national security purposes,” Trump told journalists on January 7.
Trump has put doubts about the legitimacy of Denmark's claim to Greenland. When heading to Trump's comments in an interview with the Danish TV2 station, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called the “most important and closest ally” of the United States of the United States, and said he did not believe that the United States would use military or economic power to ensure control over Greenland. .
Frederiksen repeated that he welcomed the United States to have a greater interest in the Arctic region, but said that “it would have to be done in a respectful way to the Greenlandic people.”
“At the same time, it must be done in a way that allows Denmark and the United States still cooperate, among other things, in NATO,” Frederiksen said.
