Satirical Petition Calls for Denmark to 'Buy' California in Response to Trump's Greenland Push

The tongue-in-cheek campaign has garnered over 200,000 signatures, humorously proposing a $1 trillion crowdfunding effort to acquire California.

The petition, titled 'Denmarkification,' was launched as a satirical response to Donald Trump's renewed interest in acquiring Greenland for the U.S.
Organized by Swiss-French activist Xavier Dutoit, the campaign humorously envisions California as 'New Denmark,' complete with Danish pastries and a rebranded Disneyland called 'Hans Christian Andersenland.'
The petition cites Trump's critical comments about California and his ongoing disputes with its leadership as reasons he might agree to 'sell' the state.
The campaign has gained traction online, amassing over 200,000 signatures while emphasizing its satirical nature with a disclaimer that it is '100% real... in our dreams.'
The petition has sparked broader discussions about neocolonialism, democracy, and political satire, while also drawing attention to Trump's controversial Greenland proposal.
