Critics say Trump's 'frankly unreal' Greenland post shows he's 'suffering from dementia'
President Donald Trump made the bizarre announcement Saturday that he would be sending a hospital ship to Greenland on an apparent humanitarian mission, and with no explanation for what prompted the expedition – but critics have zeroed in on what they say is “almost certainly” the cause for the...

We have two hospital ships. Both are currently undergoing extensive maintenance at a drydock in Mobile Alabama. They plan to be there for at least 2 months. Which means that their Medical crews are not on the ship and not available to deploy immediately.
The crew on the USS Gerald Ford just got their deployment extended to 8 months to rush back to the Med to attack Iran. Trump has no idea how a Navy works.

Or it is a threat wrapped in an attempted joke of some sort. The problem here is that (so far, at least) not even Trump’s most dedicated apologists have figured out the joke yet.Critics say Trump's 'frankly unreal' Greenland post shows he's 'suffering from dementia'

Great response. Trump tried to play it off like we were rescuing citizens of third-world country, and Nielsen put him in his place.

Jørgen Boassen, a 52-year-old Greenlandic bricklayer who last year helped organize Donald Trump Jr.’s visit to the island, says he was the one who inspired Jeff Landry, governor of Louisiana and Trump’s appointed Greenland envoy, to propose the idea.
Boassen, unknown to the Greenlandic public until early last year, has become a controversial figure for his outspoken pro-Trump views and regular outings in a red MAGA hat. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, he said he was staying overnight at Landry’s mansion in Louisiana last week as part of a cultural exchange during Mardi Gras when the governor asked what the U.S. could do for Greenland.
“I told him our healthcare system is deteriorating, and that people are sick. Some people are diagnosed too late,” Boassen said. He said he didn’t specifically ask for a U.S. hospital ship. “But any help is appreciated,” he said.
Landry told the Journal that he then raised the issue with Trump during a dinner at the White House on Saturday. The president asked him whether Greenlanders really needed a ship, Landry said.…”

“I said, they absolutely need it. He said, ‘Well, let’s get it,’” Landry recalled.

When your local advisor is a previously unknown local bricklayer, you might want to investigate his claims at least a little before acting on them.
Don’t get me wrong, bricklaying is a valuable skill. I’m just not so sure it translates to a political advisory role. When John McCain elevated Joe the Plumber, he didn’t actually take his advice on international relations.
