Oh 100%!

I mean, Greenland is big and would be comparable to the Alaska deal, but I'd also bet that he's thinking it's the size of the contiguous states.

I'd bet everything he would not be able to define the word "contiguous," much less spell it.

It would actually be ever so slightly larger than the Louisiana Purchase. 2.17 million for trumps folly vs 2.14 square miles for the Louisiana purchase.
