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."

Donald Trump Confuses Iceland and Greenland Multiple Times in Davos Speech

Just like he confuses his wives and rape victims.

Let's hear the "explanations," MAGA. Don't let us down! This was 4D chess, right?

#2 | Posted by cbob at 2026-01-21 01:38 PM

And the White House is denying that Trump confused Iceland with Greenland, multiple times. Because in MAGA world there is a unique sense of reality.

When der Fuehrer says we ist de master race,
We heil (pffft) heil (pffft) right in der Fuehrer's face,
Not to love der Fuehrer is a great disgrace,
So we heil (pffft) heil (pffft) right in der Fuehrer's face.

Davos today demonstrates that Trump's prefrontal cortex has deteriorated. That's the part that inhibits behavior.

This in combination with his florid narcissism is going to get him bragging about the children he's raped sooner or later.

Then he'll say he was just joking.

Trump is a mush brain megalomaniac.

As the end of his life draws even closer, he becomes more dangerous, he's got nothing to lose.

I'm hoping there will be something left of America when he's done with us.

To be fair, he probably doesn't realize they are two different countries.

@Andy Beshear

The President's address here in Davos is dangerous, disrespectful and unhinged. From insulting our allies to telling struggling Americans that he's fixed inflation and the economy is amazing, the President is hurting both our families' financial security and our national security. Oh, and Greenland is so important he's calling it Iceland.

#8 | Posted by ClownShack at 2026-01-21 02:06 PM

From the article: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later tried to clarify Trump's remarks, saying he was referring to Greenland as a piece of ice and sharing a screenshot from Google of a Greenland search showing an iceberg.

They really think people will believe this ----. SMH

Deplorable Trumping MAGAts will believe anything they're instructed to believe.

To be fair, I don't think that's much different than 80% of the voting public in the US.

Hell, an alarmingly high number of people can't even find states on a map.

They're called Trump voters.

see, that's trolling so get over yourself.

Old Yeller is on a quest in search of Superman's Arctic Fortress of Solitude, wherein might be found all manner of cool Kryptonian knowledge. He's read about it (www.amazon.com) and now it will become one of his "Sirrrrrrrrrr!" whoppers.

"In addition to asserting that the British deployed military aircraft in the eighteenth century, Donald Trump has indicated that Andrew Jackson, who died in 1845, was angry about the Civil War, and that Frederick Douglass, who died in 1895, is still alive."

Trump's rambling speech did not go over well with world leaders in Switzerland. Seems there wasn't a single person at that meeting who didn't come to the conclusion that Trump is unbalanced. It was so obvious that it even sparked suggestions about the 25th Amendment among members of Congress AND the offer to call Trump immediately to ask him to resign.

I've been to Iceland. I've sailed through Greenland. I've been to Copenhagen and Norway. PEDO DONNIE is a ------- pile of dementia riddled ----.

The big loser in all this is Iceland.

This might play out like when police raid the wrong home, realize it halfway through, then go ahead and shoot the black people anyway. Just on an international level.

I'm starting to see a resemblance between Trump and Nazi Germany when Hitler hit a mental brick wall and went completely off his rocker.

Trump isn't far removed. The question is, how long can Stephen Miller and other loyalist, hide the truth from the public? Not to mention that "the public" is already questioning Trump's mental condition.

Another "not to mention" resemblance to Hitler is the fact that Trump, a White Nationalist, is on the same Hitler-esq path to turn America into an all-white Aryan nation.

Don't forget that both Hitler and Trump are/were on stimulants when they led their country's

Stephen Miller is running the government. All Lewzer is doing now is playing with the toys they give him to keep him busy.

I agree. Those dark bruises on the back of Trump's hand told us that doctors were pumping something narcotic into those veins.

"Stephen Miller is running the government."

True, for now. But if Vance inherits the presidency (by succession or otherwise), Stephen Miller will have to compete with Peter Thiel who runs Vance from the shadows.

Another recent problem is USHA's revenge who just announced that she is preggers with a baby boy due in July . . . . news that reportedly sent Erika Kirk into a tailspin.

The question is" Can J.D. Vance run for President in 2028 with a Hindu wife who flatly refuses to switch to Christianity?

#25 | Posted by Twinpac at 2026-01-22 05:13 AM

As long as Dummkopf Trumpf doesn't get 'Iceland' mixed up with 'Ireland.'

#26 | Posted by C0RI0LANUS at 2026-01-22 05:17 AM

Trump, who never takes responsibility for anything, will deny he ever made that mistake and blame it on what he calls a "radical left conspiracy." . . . . who, incidentally, is also responsible for him losing the 2020 election which he still claims (to this very day) that he actually won.

Trump seems to be neurotically fixated on that subject, and the psychotic need to punish America for rejecting him.

Trump has genuine, powerful, and elaborate delusions.

"Psychotic" fits.

Soon, Donald. Sleep shall set us free.

Well, some will be arrested for treason..

I would have paid good money if someone yelled "Greenland you twit" after his 15th mistake.

He was reading a teleprompter. It's a little known fact that Trump wears glasses. But he's too vain to wear them in public because he thinks they make him look weak. (or old)

Add that to his already cognitive decline and, frankly, I'm not even sure he's aware that he's making mistakes.

The other thing is that somebody else (probably Stephen Miller) is doing all his thinking so Trump just says words without any thought or reasoning. He's like a windup toy.

#33 | Posted by Twinpac at 2026-01-22 08:38 PM

I probably should worry more, but after all this time, I seem to be accustomed to the news being dominated by a cruel and incompetent man "running" things from the White House, much as Reagan "ran" things in his second term. Sure hope there is no major conflict, like war with China, since we are led by Hegseth and Trump...not our greatest military minds.
As a child of the sixties, I understand that America is in a constant conflict with its oligarch masters who want to strut out from the shadows and run things...as Musk did when Trump took over.

But your points are right on target.

Thanks.

I love how Leavitt tries to defend it by posting a picture of a literal piece of ice located off of the coast of Greenland. The iceberg isn't technically Greenland or a part of Greenland.

Greenland sank Titanic and got away scot-free.
