My experience with that pushback is dated. I don’t even remember when it was prevalent. I don’t see it today.
According to a poll by Patriot Polling released Sunday, 57.3 percent of respondents approve of Greenland becoming part of the U.S. Just 37.4 percent disapproved of the potential acquisition, and 5.3 percent are undecided about the move. . . .
While the survey only polled 416 people in Greenland and is the first of its kind, it signals support for Trump’s larger international plans.
According to 538’s poll rankings, Patriot Polling only receives a 1 star rating out of three.
The survey noted it’s the first time the group has conducted a poll outside of the U.S. It was also conducted during a visit made by Donald Trump Jr., the president-elect’s son.

isnt that the entire population.

Yeha.
Now ask yourself why I include that bit of information.
Interestingly, the US occupied Greenland for over five years while Denmark was occupied by the Germans in WW2.
Is something similar in the works today?
Do you mean like Germany occupying Denmark? 
No, I mean of creative use of the Monroe Doctrine:
The occasion has been judged proper for asserting, as a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved, that the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers.
Monroe Doctrine - Wikipedia
Denmark lost control of Greenland when the British navy prevented travel between Denmark to Greenland after Denmark became a German protectorate in 1940. The US sent troops to Greenland to prevent occupation by the UK or Germany, which would have violated the Monroe Doctrine. The return to Danish control in 1945 was arguably a violation of the Monroe doctrine.
The independence of Kosovo provides another path for the US gaining control over Greenland. Greenland is considered an autonomous part of the kingdom of Denmark, which is similar to the status of Kosovo after the 1999 NATO bombing campaign against Yugoslavia. Based on Kosovo’s precedent, Greenland could declare independence and then negotiate status as a US protectorate without any input from the government in Copenhagen.
politically Greenland is part of europe.

Geographically its part of North America and the official language is Greenlandic not Danish.
Greenlandic (Greenlandic: kalaallisut [kalaːɬːisʉt]; Danish: grønlandsk [ˈkʁɶnˌlænˀsk]) is an Eskimo–Aleut language with about 57,000 speakers,[1] mostly Greenlandic Inuit in Greenland. It is closely related to the Inuit languages in Canada such as Inuktitut. It is the most widely spoken Eskimo–Aleut language. In June 2009, the government of Greenland, the Naalakkersuisut, made Greenlandic the sole official language of the autonomous territory . . .

A possible outcome may be for Greenland to have a status similar to that of some of the islands in the Pacific that were taken from Japan in WW2.
What fool thought he wasn’t serious?
Some European officials had hoped that Trump’s rhetoric over Greenland was merely a ploy to gain more influence in NATO territory. However, according to the Financial Times, sources familiar with the discussion claim the phone call was “horrendous” and raised their concern that Trump is actually serious.

france has discussed sending troops to greenland.
“French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has said that his country discussed with Denmark sending troops to the island in response to Trump’s ongoing threats. When he was asked about the notion of sending E.U. troops to Greenland, Barrot told French radio station Sud Radio that France had “started discussing [troop deployment] with Denmark.”

So was the US until it wasn’t. How about leaving it up to Greenlanders what they want to do?

I wonder how Ireland feels about that?
So we have a president that, in order to know if we should take him seriously, requires us to contract some dude in Alaska.
Awesome.
We should have threatened more before the poll.

That ought to be addressed to @Sknyluv He’s the one who wants to know if he can take Trump seriously or not. Personally, I never take him seriously until he actually acts.
It really doesn’t matter what you or I think about Trump’s public statements. What really matters is what Trump says to world leaders behind closed doors.
