Yesterday Trump gave his usual speech filled with lies, delusions, and insane ideas. As pretty much the whole world knows he has been obsessed with the idea of annexing Greenland from Denmark and making it part of the US. Yesterday he called the territory "Iceland" at least once.
Today he gave another demented speech at the international meeting in Davos, Switzerland. At least 3 times he called Greenland "Iceland". 
This is the man who is supposed to be the leader of the free world. Professional liar (aka Press Secretary) Karoline Leavitt responded to people pointing that out on Twitter by saying that in his written statement he referred to the island as "a piece of ice". Yeah sure maybe that's what he called it in that statement but it was very clear that he called it "Iceland" multiple times this morning in the actual speech. Like it was broadcast live. The whole world saw it.
Aside from the lies and the confusion and the threats, Trump looked terrible. As he likes to call people he was very "low energy", he was slurring, and he couldn't even walk in a straight line. It makes you wonder why exactly Air Force One had to turn around last night and return to the US after it left for Davos.

Didn’t I read that he said something about “if it wasn’t for America you’d be speaking German” in Switzerland?!?!

@FourWalls I do not know if there they showed the protesters against him. No one likes him.

I remember from grade school being told it was named Greenland to encourage people to settle there.

And to think that I have to hear about him for another 3 years...that's if he makes it that long.

I suppose his diplomats are keeping busy and earning their money. He can say pretty much anything and they have to clear it up

I saw the Badenoch woman defending Trump.
The Scottish Tories leader as well - but he can say what he wants as he has no chance at all at the next Hilyrood elections

Trump has probably mixed up Melanoma and Ivanka.
I'm still waiting on the pictures of little boys sitting on his knee on Epstein Island being published
His ludicrous rants about America " taking over" Greenland have really pissed a lot of Europeans off and now even the lame PM we have won't take Donalds crap anymore.
Wonder if he will complete his second term
Or will someone shoot him for real and not a staged fiasco like the last one

It seems now he's backing down a little on the Greenland issue.
