32. Unconfirmed reports from Ottawa: Canada is preparing a competing offer for the US

Wed Dec 25, 2024, 12:14 PM

Wednesday

Sources familiar with the negotiations report that the offer was prompted by fears of Denmark extraditing Trump to Canada upon the purchase of the US. To avoid this outcome, literally at all cost, Canada is prepared to match Denmark's offer and, in addition, pay Denmark double that amount to have Trump extradited to Greenland.

In related news, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is preparing to grant the State of Florida the status of its unincorporated territory. Once again, the sticking point is the extradition of Trump from Mar a Lago to any shithole country that will accept him.
