OOOPS. Easily Confused World Dominatin' Rapin' Golfin' Felon Grampy repeatedly referred to Greenland as "Iceland"

Trump has appeared on the world stage to demand immediate talks to acquire Greenland, only to confuse the autonomous Danish territory with a completely different country.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, the 79-year-old president repeatedly referred to Greenland as “Iceland”—a much smaller island about 200 miles away—as he lashed out at NATO allies for not handing over the nation.

“I know we’d be there for them. I don’t know that they’d be there for us with all of the money we expend, with all of the blood, sweat and tears… They’re not there for us on Iceland, I can tell you,” Trump said.

“Their stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland.”

It is all just some kind of land in Trump’s mentally ill brain. And it is gonna get worse.
The 25th amendment will not come into play because you need a majority of the Cabinet
to agree to calling for it.

I'll never forget the deep, aching patriotism I felt as she delivered a strongly worded (but polite) Susan Collins-style "concern" speech about Trump, and then left her cabinet position, rather than having a vote for the 25th Amendment on her record. Who knows what kinds of mean Tweets Trump might have sent?

Trump should have been in prison years ago for any one of a number of crimes. Bank fraud, tax fraud,
stealing the breath benefits from the widows of Americans G.I. killed in Iraq & Afghanistan (he paid
Pam Bondi 25k to not prosecute in Florida) child rape, child sex trafficking, espionage, treason, murder,
election crimes, and …..

Sadly he serves the rich and powerful along with the fossil fuel industries so he is protected.
