UPDATED: Donald's Latest Bizarre Post On Greenland Gets Hilariously Shut Down
It's unclear why Donald Trump announced on Saturday that the United States would be sending “a great hospital boat” to Greenland for a nonexistent humanitarian mission, where Greenlanders enjoy free health care, including prescription medications. But why let pesky facts get in the way of a good boat story?
In contrast, Americans here at home are all too commonly saddled with medical debt. Greenland, the island Trump has sought to acquire, is a Danish territory. To make Trump's offer even more bizarre, Trump accompanied his post with an illustration of the U.S.N.S. Mercy, which is firmly in drydock at Alabama Shipyard in Mobile, where it has been undergoing scheduled maintenance since July 2025, according to gCaptain.
"Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there," Trump bizarrely wrote. "It’s on the way!!! President DJT"
