Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) released the following statement today after introducing a bill authorizing President Trump to acquire Greenland and renaming it Red, White, and Blueland:

“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland. President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal.”

    Trump given power

    No, he hasn’t. Congress hasn’t passed it – it’s just been introduced as a bill.

    One House Representative introduced it and then released the statement.

        Sure, not saying that you’re at fault or anything.

      It doesn’t matter. The US as a whole has no authority to decide what places outside of its territory are called. Sure, you can change what you call it, but the rest of the world won’t.

        I mean, the bill isn’t going to pass, but it’s proposing buying it and then renaming it.

          Anymore, I wouldn’t have that much confidence in something not passing no matter how batshit it is
