Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said he was "totally supportive" of purchasing Greenland after MAGA economist Stephen Moore suggested renaming the autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark to "Trumpland."
During a Sunday "Inaugural 2025" discussion of Trumpenomics 2.0 sponsored by Moore's Unleash Prosperity think tank, the economist presented a map with "Trumpland" in place of Greenland. The map also featured the "Gulf of America" for the Gulf of Mexico and named Canada the 51st state. Mexico was called "The Other Side of the Wall."
"This is the map of what the United States might look like. And I want to get serious.," Moore announced. "By the way, I don't think we should call it Greenland anymore. It should be called Trumpland, right?"
"What do you think about the idea of the United States purchasing Greenland?" he asked.

"Well, first, I understand the strategic importance of both Greenland and the Panama Canal," Johnson replied. "So I know the mainstream media, or legacy media, is criticizing and ridiculing Trump for it. It's not insane by any stretch of imagination."
"So if we can do a good deal of Greenland, I'd be totally supportive of it," he added.
