Donald Trump kept calling Greenland ‘Iceland’ by mistake and it didn’t just speak volumes about his state of mind, it bellowed them
To Davos wnow here Donald Trump finally turned up to address world leaders, reassuring them that he wouldn’t be using force to acquire Greenland but said he wouldn’t forget – or forgive, presumably – if the county didn’t come quietly.
What a relief that would be, if only you could believe a word he said, in a speech that wasn’t so much low energy as absolute zero.

Not for the first time, either.
President Trump has now called Greenland “Iceland” three times today and once yesterday.

Seriously. And it didn’t just speak volumes about the man and the state of his presidency right now, it bellowed them. And these people surely said it best.

Can he at least get the name of the country correct that he’s trying to illegally annex??

He’s so old and confused. If I was the President of Iceland I’d start preparing to defend themselves against the US if Trump sends troops to the wrong country.

America is going to start World War III and their president can’t even remember the name of the country he’s mad at. He’s saying Iceland, though he means Greenland/Denmark, though he’s actually mad at Norway.
