American tax payers will now pay for a hospital ship which will be sent to Greenland, Trump claims on Truth Social.

Let me rephrase that: The US, which does not offer free healthcare to its own people, wants it's own people to offer free healthcare… to Greenland… which already has free healthcare.

Maybe it is time for another brain scan for the US president.

@randahl @rjohnston

A Caribbean ship being sent up to the Arctic sounds like an adventure in intended failure, though it sits ill with an executive culture that sees last quarter's stock results as the only history to learn from.

It could just be the syphilitic ramblings of the rancid stooge the "Christian" Nationalists, Fascists and white supremacist-curious techbros have chosen for their front man. Seeing a Prince demoted and publicly taken to the pokey for a bit of noncing at a mutual friend's place may have disturbed the old boy's balance a little.

Trump says sending 'great hospital boat' to Greenland

The US president said a vessel was "on the way" to Greenland, with the move coming amid a rift between the US and Europe over control of the strategically important island.

"Denmark's Joint Arctic Command said on Saturday it had evacuated a crew member who required urgent medical treatment from a U.S. submarine in Greenlandic waters, seven nautical miles outside of Greenland's capital Nuuk."

"WE ARE GOING TO INVADE! WE ARE THE TERROR!"

"ooh very scary! i'm proud of you, nice performance. but just pipe down now, it seems you need some help. let me get you a nice ride and a blanket"

@benroyce @randahl Danes and Greenlanders are justifiably concerned and upset by the rhetoric and outright threats coming from their American… “allies”?

But they’re also decent people who will help some poor random, in-distress soul from that ally, because that’s what decent people do.

@randahl be aware that #tax dollars financing a government like the US is a wide spread misconception about how fiat money (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_money) works. They do not use tax dollars for this otherwise ludicrous propaganda shit show 🤪.

I am wondering who is not being taken care of there. What is the #healthcare system like on #Greenland? No doubt it’s better than what #US citizens have.
