Congressional Legislation Authorizing The President’s Purchase of Greenland, And Renaming It…

As often as President Trump does it, I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to someone saying the most outlandish things — and then making them happen.

But I’m learning that’s President Trump’s signature move.

So although what I’m about to tell you might seem like a joke, I’m hoping you are familiar enough with President Trump — and our news — to know it’s not a joke.

Not only has President Trump continued to push the U.S. acquisition of Greenland for a strategic partnership critical to American national security…

But legislation has now been introduced in Congress that would cross the appropriate “T’s” and dot all the right “I’s” so as to authorize President Trump to actually purchase the Nordic Island of Greenland.

But that’s not even the part that’s hard to accept as true.

Included in this legislation is a name change for Greenland, if the U.S. actually does acquire the island.

After all, Greenland isn’t all that “green” in reality, right?

So why not give it a new patriotic name; maybe something a little more “America” in nature?

The House Republican who introduced the bill to empower President Trump’s possible acquisition had something a little more red, white, and blue in mind.

In fact, that’s almost exactly what he had in mind!

You read that right — Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) introduce legislation that not only helps smooth the path for buying Greenland…

But it would rename Greenland to “Red, White and Blueland”.

Yes, this is real news.  And yes, I’m having a hard time treating this as a serious possibility.

The problem is… it will probably happen!  At least, the U.S. will probably purchase Greenland.

I have seen enough not to doubt that President Trump is going to end up making Greenland part of the United States.

But — “Red, White and Blueland”?  Maybe it grows on you.

But sure enough, the legislation aimed at paving the way for purchasing Greenland indeed would rename it, according to a Fox News story:

Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., has thrown his support behind President Donald Trump’s quest to acquire Greenland — and has taken a step in Americanizing the country’s name.

Carter introduced a bill on Tuesday proposing that Greenland’s name be changed to Red, White and Blueland. In a press release, the Georgia congressman wrote that “America is back and will soon be bigger than ever” with the addition of the Nordic country.

“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,” Carter added.

Carter also published the text of the bill, which is named the “Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025.”

“Greenland shall be known as ‘Red, White, and Blueland,'” the text states. “Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States to Greenland shall be deemed to be a reference to ‘Red, White, and Blueland.'”

Carter has not spoken to Trump about the bill, which had no cosponsors as of Tuesday evening, Carter’s office told Fox News Digital.

I must say, I take great comfort in knowing Rep. Carter hasn’t spoken to President Trump about the name.

Maybe there’s a chance President Trump negotiates a slightly different name change in the language of the bill?

Then again, he might love the crazy boldness of “Red, White and Blueland”!

It’s even better when you watch a news cast talking about it.  So here’s the local ABC News affiliate in Washington DC with their take on the legislation, and the name change:

I also had an ulterior motive in sharing that newscast.

If you noticed, the female host says at the very end of that segment that “the likelihood of that happening is very slim.”

We’ll be resurrecting this news story, and that quote, sometime in the near future after the President does indeed acquire “Red, White and Blueland”.

Of note is the Polymarket odds of the Nordic renaming.  Polymarket has the odds of the rename at4%, meaning you could get a 25x return on your wager if he pulls it off and names it accordingly.

I had to remind myself at some point that President Trump is very serious about buying Greenland.

So much so that he send Don Jr. to the island nation on a sort of fact-finding mission in January.

Here’s a little of the footage captured with Don Jr. and Charlie Kirk on the ground in Greenland.

I think part of this trip was simply to normalize the idea, and show the world that President Trump was serious.

Although Denmark insists that Greenland is not for sale, I know from studying the issue that Greenland has all the self-governing rights under Danish law to decide on its’ own whether or not to separate itself from the Danish Kingdom.

Despite its name, Greenland is actually mostly ice, and Iceland is much greener, according to a story covering the legislation that was just introduced in the New York Post:

Greenland isn’t really that green anyway.

Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.), 67, unveiled new legislation Monday to empower President Trump to enter negotiations to “purchase or otherwise acquire” Greenland and to rename the icy island “Red, White and Blueland.”

“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland,” Carter said in a statement to The Post.

“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.”

The Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025 directs the secretary of the interior’s team to ensure federal paperwork gets updated to the new name and gives a six-month deadline to complete that task.

Trump, 78, has long set his sights on acquiring Greenland, a territory owned by the Kingdom of Denmark, which insists the island is not for sale.

The president renewed his aspirations of acquiring Greenland after winning the 2024 election and has not ruled out the use of military force to achieve that goal.

Despite its name, Greenland is mostly icy while its fellow Arctic island, Iceland, is the greener of the two.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also chimed in recently on the Greenland issue.

While he didn’t speak directly to the legislation introduced in Congress — or the name change — he did talk about the seriousness which President Trump is treating the issue.

It doesn’t take a lot of checking to realize the sea lanes used by China and Russia, controlled by Greenland’s current “owners, the Danes, are an issue at odds with American national security.

And the Danes are not controlling those sea lanes to the degree they should be; they’re letting the Russians and Chinese use those lanes unabated.

Here’s Marco Rubio chiming in with a call to take President Trump’s plan seriously:

Vice President JD Vance also weighed in, pointing out that Denmark has not fulfilled its obligation as an ally in controlling those sea lanes in a way that puts American security as a priority, according to the New York Post article I previously referenced:

Trump has argued that obtaining Greenland is paramount to the national security interests of the US due to its vast natural resources and access to the Arctic Ocean, which geopolitical experts believe will become more valuable over time as it melts.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has defended the president’s goal of taking Greenland by highlighting US military support for the island territory and a 1951 treaty to defend it in the event of an attack.

“If we’re already on the hook for having to do that, then we might as well have more control over what happens there,” Rubio said during an interview on “The Megyn Kelly Show.”

“This is not a joke,” he added. “This is not about acquiring land for the purpose of acquiring land. This is in our national interest and it needs to be solved.”

Vice President JD Vance has criticized Denmark and suggested it’s not pulling enough of its own weight on national security issues.

“I think it’s possible,” Vance told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” earlier this month when pressed on whether the US will acquire Greenland.

“It’s really important to our national security. There are sea lanes there that the Chinese use, that the Russians use,” the veep went on. “Frankly, Denmark, which controls Greenland, [is] not doing its job, and it’s not being a good ally.”

Although I’m not completely sold on the “Red, White and Blueland” name change, I definitely see the need for securing that land mass and the waterways it can, and should control.

Maybe there will be some changes in committee with the legislation.

Maybe an addendum tacked on to the bill with a few better options for a name will come our way.

But then again, if President Trump puts Greenland under American sovereign control and is able to project strength via an increased national security footprint, and he decides to rename it according to Rep. Buddy Carter’s liking…

So be it.  MAGA… MAHA… and MGGA.

Make Greenland Great Also!

I’m on board.  Let’s do this.
