    Greenland is widely believed to hold excellent potential for a host of natural resources, including zinc, lead, gold, iron ore, heavy and light rare earth elements, copper and oil.

    I read about this this morning and all I could think is that Trump can't run the 50 states we already have, now he wants to buy another one.

    I've thought the same about Congress, since the I was in high school.
    They can't run the ONE CITY they are Constitutionally responsible for ... but they want to run an entire country?!?

    He wants to rename it 'Trumpland'.

    The Danish are saying "this must be an April fool's joke".

    (Comma after the words "Yeah" and "but".)

    It certainly is a word.  It is described, known as, identified as, named, etc., it contains letters of the alphabet, it follows spelling and punctuation protocols, it can be spoken and it has particular pronunciation, all of which means that it is a word.
