Denmark and Canada aren't taking these threats lightly. I'd imagine they have more insight on the situation than some randos on VGChartz. Even if he is joking, he's sowing distrust amongst countries that are supposed to be allies. It's dangerously irresponsible, at best.  But particularly in the case of Greenland, he is not joking.

Greenland is not up for sale. Do you agree with that statement?

Canada is not up for sale either.

Trump is not crazy enough to take either country with military force, so both are safe.

“Greenland is not up for sale.” I absolutely agree with that statement. 

Whether a land is up for sale really hasn’t mattered in past instances of American manifest destiny. Texas and California weren’t for sale, either. 

I’m unconvinced that Trump isn’t crazy enough to take Greenland by military force. What he will likely try first, however, are sanctions to pressure Denmark into turning control of Greenland over to him. If those don’t work? Denmark will not be able to stand up to the U.S. military. Not the first time the U.S. would have used its muscle to take territory. Apparently won’t be the last. We’ve thought he wasn’t crazy enough to do XYZ before, until he did. 

Denmark certainly thinks he’s crazy enough to do it. He spent an awful lot of time on the phone with the Danish PM trying to get them to see things his way, and making it clear he would hurt them if they didn’t.
