Trump’s Press Secretary Flagrantly Lies That Trump Didn’t Say Iceland When He Meant Greenland

Posted by on January 21, 2026 at 3:57 pm. 0 Comments :

The imperative to distort what the world plainly sees and hears with regard to Donald Trump has been a constant feature of the Trump Era. He and his cronies all too frequently find it necessary to provide explanations and/or excuses for his obvious mental glitches that are utterly devoid of any resemblance to reality.

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

When a national “leader” is so delusional that he can’t distinguish fact from fiction, it presents a dangerous set of circumstances that could result in atrocities and behavior that has the potential to undermine the stability of a nation that relies on a coherent vision to preserve democracy and freedom.

On Trump’s one year anniversary of his second occupation of the White House, he is exhibiting the sort of deranged conduct that could unravel America’s political and social infrastructure. That conduct is seen in ways big and small. The big examples include his attacks on foreign countries like Venezuela, his imposition of inflationary tariffs, and his military invasions of American cities.

An example of conduct on a smaller, but still significant scale, occurred Wednesday when he delivered a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. During his address Trump referred several times to Iceland, when it was clear that he meant Greenland. It’s a mistake that would have consumed the national media for days or weeks if President Biden had done it, but is hardly making a ripple from the press that seems to accept Trump’s cognitive impairment as normal and acceptable.

Making matters worse is how Trump’s handlers try desperately to whitewash his blunders. And on this occasion his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was wound up and ready to go. News Nation reporter Libbey Dean, noted that Trump “appeared to mix up Greenland and Iceland around three times.” In response Leavitt flatly denied that it happened, saying that…

“No he didn’t, Libby (sic). His written remarks referred to Greenland as a ‘piece of ice’ because that’s what it is.”

For the record, here is what Trump said along with the video of Trump saying precisely what Leavitt insists that he didn’t say…

“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 costs a lot of money.”

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."

Leavitt’s explanation doesn’t make any sense at all. It doesn’t matter what was in the written transcript. No one is criticizing that. What matters is what Trump said. And he said “Iceland.” To which Leavitt didn’t mince words in Trump’s defense saying “No, he didn’t.” She is the walking, squawking embodiment of George Orwell’s admonition in “1984,” “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

What’s more, Leavitt’s excuse that Trump had referred to Greenland in writing as “a piece of ice” has no bearing on Trump changing the name of the country to Iceland – three times – when delivering the speech. Trump also called Greenland “a piece of land.” Does that mean it would have been okay to call the country Landland?

Trump did indeed refer to Greenland several times as “a piece of ice,” but in explicitly derogatory terms. For example he said “Who the hell wants to defend a license agreement or a lease, which is a large piece of ice in the middle of the ocean”? Followed inexplicably by “What I’m asking for is a piece of ice.” But those references cannot coherently lead to referring to the Greenland as Iceland, which is a name already in use by another nearby and totally separate country.

Trump’s Davos speech was jam-packed with bullpucky on a variety of topics. But his mentions of Iceland/Greenland stood out for their sheer lunacy. And it’s notable that shortly after his speech Trump posted a comment to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, wherein he announced that an agreement had been reached regarding the fate of Greenland. And true to form, it was a tediously long and bizarre declaration that the U.S. and NATO had agreed to a relationship with Greenland that is, well, exactly what it has been all along. So all of the turmoil that Trump had put everyone through was, as usual, utterly pointless.

This is Trump's long, rambling attempt to save face. It says essentially that the U.S. and NATO have agreed to do exactly what they've been doing all along.In other words…T-rumpA -lwaysC-hickensO-ut!

Sean Hannity Drools Over Insane Trump Proposal to Give Everyone in Greenland $100,000

Posted by on January 20, 2026 at 1:41 pm. 0 Comments :

The Sycophancy Meter for devotees of Donald Trump routinely registers at the highest levels that it is capable of reporting. His cult members are entirely devoid of any measure of shame or self respect when it comes to affirming their unflinching adoration of Dear Leader.

Donald Trump Sean Hannity

Consistent with most cults, Trump’s is characterized by his painfully obvious psychological and emotional abnormalities. He is paranoid, petulant, rage-filled, malignant narcissist, with a tenuous grasp on reality. It is a profile that he shares with the likes of Jim Jones. Although a notable difference between Jones and Trump is that Trump would have charged his flock for the Kool Aid. Like Jones, however, Trump demands an unwavering faith in his infallibility, and eternal loyalty.

SEE THIS: Trump Whines That He Has ‘Accomplished So Much’ That ‘We Shouldn’t Even Have An Election’

In a demonstration of his unreserved reverence for Trump, Sean Hannity of Fox News led a segment on his program with MAGA Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri. The two discussed Trump’s ludicrous intentions to annex Greenland against the will of it’s citizens, with force if necessary, and despite the opposition of America’s allies in the European Union and NATO. In his fawning display of idolization, Hannity gushed that…

“Donald Trump’s forever in a state of negotiation. Everything’s negotiable. A $100,000 offer for every person in Greenland – on average making 60 grand a year – Denmark’s not exactly been generous to them. They don’t have the ability to help them take their natural resources to the next level and enrich every person in Greenland. We do…Seems like a no-brainer to me.”

Indeed. It would require having no brains to give Trump’s proposal even the slightest bit of serious consideration. Hannity’s praise of Trump for his alleged negotiating prowess is just more of the mythology that he is a great dealmaker. Never minds his numerous bankruptcies and multiple civil and criminal judgments for fraud. And don’t bother looking up the real author of his book, “The Art of the Deal.”

Hannity’s contention that for Trump “Everything’s negotiable,” is hardly a compliment. It highlights Trump’s ethical vacancy wherein he would negotiate away his mother’s dentures for a McDonalds Happy Meal for himself, or an award trophy that he didn’t earn. And he would make (and has made) the same awful deals with American principles.

The specific deal that Hannity is referencing involves Trump’s proposal to pay every resident of Greenland $100,000 in exchange for surrendering their sovereignty. Which just proves that Trump can put a price tag on anything, including honor, virtue, and patriotism. And if he would do that to Greenlanders, he would it to Americans.

What’s more, Hannity is exhibiting his own lack of moral character by lauding Trump’s shallowness and greed as virtuous. Hannity is also flaunting his ignorance by asserting that Denmark has not been “generous” to the Greenlanders. Does Hannity think that Trump would allow them to continue to receive free healthcare, education, and extended parental leave and vacation? Would they give up all of those lifetime benefits for a one-time handout?

As for their ability to “take their natural resources to the next level and enrich every person in Greenland,” maybe they don’t crave such materialism the way Trump does. Maybe they prefer the quality of life they have that regularly ranks Denmark as one of the happiest countries on Earth.

Finally, What would America get for the billions it would cost to compensate Greenland? It would just be another expenditure by Trump that only benefits him and his wealthy comrades, but ignores how the American people are struggling. All in all, a truly horrible deal. Which is exactly the kind that Trump specializes in. And neither Greenlanders nor Americans should take him up on it.

Trump Escalates His Threat to Take Greenland By Force in an Absolutely Insane Truth Social Rant

Posted by on January 17, 2026 at 1:07 pm. 1 Comments :

The legacy of Donald Trump is going to be jam-packed with the most profoundly preposterous actions and rhetoric of any president in the history of the United States – or any other nation for that matter. His wild outbursts attacking everything from previous presidents, to the free press, to windmills that kill birds and cause cancer, make life difficult for political comedians whose humor can’t compete with Trump’s insanity.

However, Trump’s actions as president are far worse than his words. He has imposed inflationary tariffs on virtually every country on the planet, including our allies. He has terminated international aid that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths. He invaded Venezuela and abducted its president who he calls a drug trafficker, while granting pardons to certified, convicted drug kingpins. He has deployed soldiers into American cities to suppress constitutionally protected dissent. And for that abridged selection of Trump’s many malfeasances, he believes that he should be anointed president-for-life…

SEE THIS: Trump Whines That He Has ‘Accomplished So Much’ That ‘We Shouldn’t Even Have An Election’

If any further proof were needed that Trump is suffering from a severe case of mental impairment, Trump himself provided it on Saturday morning. He posted a tediously elongated tirade, intended to justify his deranged obsession with taking over Greenland, on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. It’s too long and filled with bullshit to repost. But what follows are a few annotated excerpts that provide a summary of just how far the cognitive rot has eaten into Trump’s mushy brain matter. He begins…

“We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs.”
Not charging tariffs is not the same as subsidizing. To the contrary, charging tariffs is commonly regarded as a sanction. which is exactly how Trump is using them in this instance by his own admission.

“It is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland.”
Denmark doesn’t owe the U.S. anything. And world peace is hardly at stake because Greenland is a territory of an American ally in NATO. Also, Russia and China have exhibit no interest in Greenland, and if they did they would face international resistance from the NATO alliance.

“They [Greenland] currently have two dogsleds as protection.”
Trump thinks this is funny. In reality Greenland has been successfully affiliated with Denmark for 300 years (longer than the U.S. has existed). And Denmark is well equipped with modern maritime and air power technologies, including a fleet of American F-35 fighter jets.

“Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation. Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken.”
Trump is openly threatening an array of American allies. Which actually makes him the provocateur of a “dangerous situation.” Is he talking about the same “measures” he used against Venezuela?

“Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%.”
So Trump is threatening to rescind his prior trade agreements that he made with these nations, and instead punish them for adhering to the long held NATO treaty obligations that the U.S. is also subject to. These tariffs will only make the cost of living hardships in the U.S. – which are due to Trump’s already atrocious economic policies – even worse.

“This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.”
In Trump’s mob boss lingo, he thinks that he is extorting America’s allies to coerce them into complying with his utterly unreasonable demands. “Give me what I want,” Trump is yalping, “or pay up.” But he is actually just forcing American companies and consumers to pay more for everything imported from these countries.

True to form, Trump is demonstrating how pitifully ignorant he is of economics and international relations. But unfortunately, it is the citizens of the U.S., and these foreign targets of Trump’s egomaniacal wrath, who will suffer.

There is, however, some good news. The suffering that Trump is causing may not be long lasting. Everything he is doing lately is contributing to his being the most reviled president in decades. And as his approval ratings sink into the abyss, his comrades in Congress will begin to fear the voters more than they fear him. At that point – and we may be there now – Trump will be vulnerable to political defiance, sanctions, and even impeachment. Particularly if he takes hostile actions toward Greenland. Or Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Portland, etc.
