President Donald Trump repeatedly referred to Greenland as “Iceland” during his speech at the World Economic Forum on Wednesday, even as he demanded that the U.S. be handed ownership of the territory. When the president initially raised Greenland, which he said he was originally “going to leave … out of the speech,” he referred to it correctly. He issued veiled threats to Denmark…

I can only imagine the bellowing ghostly laugh of Erik the Red and Leif Erikson as yet another fool falls victim to one of the best jokes in human history.
Trump is a fucking dipshit. It’s humiliating.
Yep, it’s only a matter of time before he’ll be talking about “invading Austria where all those kangaroos and koalas live”
Well, with climate change that really is a matter of time. The koalas and kangaroos I mean
Historically speaking, it’s actually the emus you gotta worry about.
The entire past year I haven’t gotten over the fact that this oaf is a living walking version of the USA polandball caricature that can’t get the name of any country right.
He has a habit of using words from other conversations or things he has recently heard. It could be a sign that Iceland is the next country in his sights after greenland
My guess is someone had to explain that Greenland is covered in a lot of ice
Maybe someone told him it was all white and inadvertently made it appealing to him.
love the word oaf
Shortly after the speech, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was already on the defense. In a post on X, she quoted News Nation reporter Libbey Dean, who pointed out that Trump mixed up the two names.
“No he didn’t, Libby[sic]. His written remarks referred to Greenland as a ‘piece of ice’ because that’s what it is. You’re the only one mixing anything up here,” Leavitt wrote, attaching a screenshot of a Google result for Greenland showing a large chunk of ice floating in the ocean.
It’s amazing how willingly they lie when the OBVIOUS TRUTH is right in front of our eyes.
They know what they’re doing: 2+2=5.

It’s fucking scary how effective it is on people!
Won’t someone rid us of this turbulent priest?
*turdulent
Is that a reference to him shitting in a bag attached to his leg?
Meddlesome too!
I watched the video and I could not help but laugh. The absolute drivel pouring from his mouth was embarrassing. What human being watched that and thought, “He nailed it.”?
Apparently my in-laws. They didn’t want to vote for Kamala because, and I almost quote, “If missiles need to be fired, she won’t do it and instead will give more money to the poor.”
I just can’t anymore. Thankfully the apple (my husband) fell faaar from the tree.
Apparently my in-laws.
Wild guess: they’re not in the habit of watching video or reading transcript of his speeches, more than a few seconds (esp. not from Davos)?
That’s what always gets me about people who attend his rallies: listen to him rant incoherently for, idk, 45 minutes, then turn around and vote for him?
If missiles need to be fired Trump would be on a golf course with French fry fingers.
Sycophants.
What if they just take him to Amundsen-Scott base, show him part of “The Thing” and then set off some fireworks as they evacuate him. After that we’ll all just pretend like Greenland/Iceland/Place with snow is quarantined.
So its iceland ,not greenland ? ,. Next will be Belgium, land of fries ,chocolate and best beer
and waffles.
Dont tell them about the waffles ,its a secret
Yes, because that’s the next target. You think he’s done extorting people? Even if this was a dumbass mistake, the regime will spin this to needing Iceland too.
That’s too small on a map. He wants Canada next. He wants big map.
Can someone just give him some kind of VR video game and tell him he’s in the control room of a real invasion?
Let’s give him a custom projection then. He likes projection acter all.
Even if this was a dumbass mistake, the regime will spin this to needing Iceland too.
This was my cynical mind’s first thought. If Greenland/EU/Denmark/NATO give even an inch into his demands, Iceland is next. Americans have bases there, too.
I reckon he’s going to try and take iceland now

Yep. He needs his keys taken away and placed in a home. But instead, 1/3 of our population gave him the #1 military in the world and all the nukes. Then 1/3 of the population was too lazy to NOT vote for the non-tyrannical choice. What the fuck did we do, America?!
It really depends on how you lived your life. Memory starts playing tricks on you, sure, but that doesn’t mean you have to become a demanding toddler who doesn’t even know what exactly he demands.
Republicans would have impeached or 25th amendmented Biden a couple of dozen times by now but they are absolutely terrified into submission by the old demented orange rapist mobster.
I think they enjoy it.
I’m fairly certain he has actually been mixing them up this whole time and has meant to be claiming Iceland this entire time. A lot of his statements actually make a lot more sense if you substitute Iceland for Greenland.
Island has prepared for the Flying V for 2 decades!
