Despite both Denmark and Greenland’s Prime Ministers insisting that the Arctic island is not for sale time and time again, US President Donald Trump has continued to express his desire to purchase Greenland, a Danish territory, “for economic security”.

But the Danes have had enough, launching a retaliatory campaign seeking the “Denmarkification” of the world’s fifth-largest economy, California, which would be renamed New Denmark.

“Have you ever looked at a map and thought, ‘You know what Denmark needs? More sunshine, palm trees, and roller skates.’ Well, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make that dream a reality,” the petition reads.

“Let’s buy California from Donald Trump!”

“We’ll bring hygge to Hollywood, bike lanes to Beverly Hills and organic smørrebrød to every street corner. Rule of law, universal healthcare and fact-based politics might apply,” the petition continues.

“Let’s be honest – Trump isn’t exactly California’s biggest fan. He’s called it ‘the most ruined state in the union’ and has feuded with its leaders for years. We’re pretty sure he’d be willing to part with it for the right price.”

The campaign is seeking to crowdfund $1 trillion to purchase the Golden State, and receive 500,000 signatures, and they're well on their way already with 200,000 signatures.

A disclaimer at the bottom of Denmarkification’s page reads: “This campaign is 100% real… in our dreams”.

Since returning to office, Trump has renewed calls for Greenland to join the US, with the president claiming that the majority of Greenland citizens “want” to become American citizens, although a recent poll of its citizens indicates this couldn’t be further from the truth.

The poll, conducted by Berlingske and the Greenlandic daily Sermitsiaq, found that 85 per cent of those residing in the Danish territory don’t want to become a part of the US.
