Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

It's all the same to Trump. Greenland is Iceland. Norway is the capital of Denmark. He couldn't find these places on Doodley 20 hrs ago #2

Have you no shame? No sense of decency? No integrity? Has this orange imbecile robbed you of every modicum of civility?

To which she replies, "Why yes, yes he has!"

Greenland is widely acknowledged as not being merely “a piece of ice”.

I guarantee it. He sees it in the Mercator projection, and that's the map he's used to. If he saw it on a good globe map, he'd be shocked at how small it actually is, compared to its perceived size in the Mercator projection.

Someone should show that to him. They really should. He'll be less interested in it, I'm sure. He likes BIG things. They help make up for his, shall we say, shortcomings.

She can "abra-ca-dabra" all she wants, but she doesn't change what we see and hear.

Maybe they should teach the 10 commandments in school…this administration breaks most of ‘em. Teach the kids what to look out for.
