Danish campaigners are proposing to buy California from the United States and turn it into a territory of Denmark in response to Donald Trump's bid to acquire Greenland.

Big win, huge win, he should do it.

I like the way you think, yes.
If so ill need to buy a camper an real quick...

EU passport?
