Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, January 21, 2026

President Donald Trump appeared to repeatedly confuse Iceland with Greenland as he spoke at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland on Wednesday. "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. I mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland's already cost us a lot of money," the president said, in an apparent reference to Greenland. Trump has repeatedly demanded that Denmark cede the island territory to the United States and has previously declined to rule out the use of military force to take control of it if necessary. However, in his Davos speech, Trump said, "I won't use force." The U.S. president is still facing backlash and concern from other world leaders, particularly those in Europe, who are concerned his foreign policy objectives will lead to the end of NATO.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
