Was Trump's offer better than Harry Truman's?
No, the Danes never warmed to either offer. The difference was that the Truman administration talked about it with the Danes in secret and so when it was rejected it was no big deal. If Trump had kept his interest in buying Greenland on the down-low, the rejection from the Danes would have also been secret and Trump's fragile ego wouldn't have been hurt.
