Hospital Ship for Greenland?

Rump recently said he would send a hospital ship to Greenland. This is, of course, an attempt at bribing Greenlanders that falls flat on its face. You see, Greenlanders already have free health care. If Rump sends a hospital ship, it only means that Greenlanders have two free methods of getting care for what ails them.

Perhaps Rump would be better off looking at home if he wants to offer free health care. Many, many, many people in the US would love to have this free health care Rump is offering. Why not offer it to his own citizens? This might pull up his tanking poll numbers.

Rump understands bribes. After all he has accepted a golden jet already for the presidency. And a made up peace prize from FIFA. And is currently accepting moneys to go toward rebuilding the White House. He is probably surprised that Greenlanders are still rejecting his overtures.

But of course Rump tries to give free health care to those who already have it. The rich get richer is his mantra and what his time in office is all about. This may seem like a waste to any normal human but to Rump it is just a redundancy that guarantees Greenlanders free health care.

I don’t understand how this hasn’t caused a flurry of protests in the US as he offers foreigners free health care but pulls back health care to his own citizens. Some Americans are waking up (again the tanking poll numbers) but it is so very slow.

Also, I have doubts on the use of hospital ships. I wouldn’t trust surgery on them in anything even approaching rough seas. “Oops! The surgeon cut in the wrong spot and then because of sea sickness, puked in the gash!” Yes I would have nightmares about having surgery on a ship.

It’s not just that. Getting a swab or a needle or taking a blood sample might be similarly dangerous During a storm, a hospital ship might be entirely useless. And I wonder if it would be trapped in the ice off of Greenland’s frozen shores in the winter. A hospital ship that can only operate in the spring, summer and fall doesn’t sound too great to me. Don’t get sick in the winter!
