President Donald Trump repeatedly referred to Greenland as “Iceland” during his speech at the World Economic Forum on Wednesday, even as he demanded that the U.S. be handed ownership of the territory. When the president initially raised Greenland, which he said he was originally “going to leave … out of the speech,” he referred to it correctly. He issued veiled threats to Denmark…

Just wanted again to congratulate all Americans on your President. You may not have voted for him, you may not agree with him on anything but he does represent your entire country and the intellectual level of US culture. So yeah… congrats!
Intellectually, aesthetically, and ethically. He is the quintessential United States citizen, Trump is what comes out of a distillation apparatus if you boil a random selection of Americans.
They keep repeating how baffled they are that he got elected twice… That’s like being surprised the reflection on the mirror looks like you.
It’s frustrating how correct you are.
Our culture is very sick, and looking at Trump as a distilled essence of that culture is pretty dang accurate.
I think my mental state isn’t really that of surprise, but still being baffled baffled at how stupid we can really be.
Don’t forget that tens of millions of my neighbors voted for him THREE times.
I was certain he’d get 8 years the night Hillary won the Iowa caucus. I figured then that the only way we’d be rid of him is if he died in office.
So fingers crossed. I’m not sure how much worse Eyeliner Couchfucker can be, but the ride isn’t over yet.
What a joke we are.
People disagreeing with you are still in denial about how mind-numbingly stupid americans are
To keep up the rant: people in my country, Romania, are pretty fucking dumb as well, but we elected the pro-EU, democratic, modern candidate as opposed to the crazy conservative russofile americanofile moron that got 2nd place. (2nd was just spotted cutting a greenland cake with the american flag on it)
A lot of Romanians are bloody stupid too, but still not stupid enough to elect that conservative cunt.
Americans DID elect the conservative cunt.
Not necessarily stupid but willfully ignorant
But you’re still blaming us for him. You guys just can’t NOT generalize, can you?
Who are we supposed to blame? Canada?
So…you don’t understand there’s millions of people in this country, then? There’s millions of people in this country. Plenty to blame.
