Ryan Lambert, owner of the National Grange building, displayed an 18-by-30-foot American flag featuring a green star to support President Trump's ambition for Greenland. He claims to be a potential ambassador to Greenland, echoing Trump's previous acquisition interests, while downplaying the idea of Canadian statehood. Contrastingly, local flags with 51 stars have been used to underscore DC's statehood aspirations, highlighting its lack of representation. Lambert expresses pride in American identity while acknowledging Denmark, suggesting complex views on national identity and expansionism through local symbolism.
President Trump said he wanted Greenland to be the 51st state, and I like the president," Lambert tells Washingtonian. The Houston native is a real estate developer by trade.
They're great people in Denmark, but I think Americans are even greater. I don't know why someone would say, 'Hey, I don't want to be part of that.'
The flag is meant to show his support for bringing Greenland under American control. Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in acquiring the island.
She's right to advocate for DC's statehood. I think DC should remain a federal district, but as to Canada?
