What’s wrong with buying it, IF the people of Greenland agree?
The treaty of 1951, later amended but not superseded in 2004, gives the US freedom to build as many military bases they want in Greenland, provided they find an agreement with Denmark.
If the Trump administration didn’t act like dickheads with no balls they probably would easily find an agreement with Denmark. This suggest they don’t want it for security reasons. Just a reminder that one year ago everyone and their cat were scared by Russia only, and would welcome more US presence up there. I’m convinced it’s all about resources and every other explanation by them is utter bollocks.
Now an interesting detail: the above treaty is tied to the existence of NATO (article XIV).
>(2) This Agreement, being in implementation of the North Atlantic Treaty, shall remain in effect for the duration of the North Atlantic Treaty.
So what if the real reason is that the US intends to dissolve or get out of NATO very soon, therefore they need to acquire Greenland before that, otherwise they would lose the rights then every decision should be taken in accordance with Denmark?

“The then-president put forward the idea of taking federal funds from Puerto Rico to buy Greenland and on a separate occasion, suggested **trading the U.S. territory for the Danish one**.”

I am aware the polls show otherwise.
The US have tried to buy Greenland since 1867:
