Lewzer says he’s sending a hospital boat to Greenland

President Donald Trump said Saturday that he is sending a hospital boat to Greenland, the Arctic island and Danish territory he has sought to acquire. "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. It's on the way!!!" the president posted on social media alongside an illustration of the naval hospital ship the USNS Mercy.

It is unclear what Trump was referring to in his post. Greenland and Denmark have free, nationalized health care systems. CNN has reached out to the White House, the Danish Embassy in Washington, Landry's office, the Danish government and Greenland's parliament for more details. The Pentagon referred questions to US Northern Command, which in turn referred questions to the US Navy. The Navy did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Another of Old Yeller's "solutions" for a nonexistent problem. The senescent grifter cannot read a room. "Go away" doesn't sink in, apparently, as childish obsessions hold sway.

Sending a "boat?" (how typical)

It appears that Trump doesn't know the difference between a "boat" and a ship.

Nonetheless, and knowing Trump's penchant for lying when it's easier to tell the truth, my guess is this announcement was made purely for effect. He wants to change his image from a ruthless murderer to a humanitarian.

Too little, too late.
