Copenhagen: A humorous petition proposing Denmark buy California has gained over 200,000 signatures and aims to raise $1 trillion.
The petition suggests Denmark could benefit from California’s sunshine, palm trees, and tech industry dominance.
It jokingly proposes renaming Disneyland to “Hans Christian Andersenland” and securing a steady avocado supply.
The petition follows Trump’s renewed interest in acquiring Greenland, a Danish semi-autonomous territory.
Supporters claim Denmark would bring better governance, bike lanes, and universal healthcare to California.
Trump’s Opinion
Trump has repeatedly criticized California, calling it “the most ruined state in the Union.”
He has clashed with California leaders and might be willing to sell it for the right price.
The petition humorously claims Trump wouldn’t be stopped by public opinion if he wanted to sell.
To sweeten the deal, Denmark playfully offers Trump a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.
If the sale happens, the state will be renamed “New Denmark.”
Funding Plan
The petition sets a crowdfunding goal of $1 trillion, requiring 200,000 kroner per Danish citizen.
It suggests skipping a few lattes would make the contribution manageable.
Denmark’s top negotiators, including Lego executives and the cast of Borgen, would handle the deal.
The petition also promises to bring hygge to Hollywood and organic smørrebrød to every corner.
