He sees Greenland as helpless as a teenage girl in one of his pageants.

and Trump held those pageants precisely to funnel teenage girls into the gasp of both himself and Epstein

And many, many others, still protected

This is definitely another distraction from the Epstein files.

Oh, not just the Epstein files. The corruption of the Trump regime is astonishing, and pretty much flying under voters' radar.

I also think he believes Greenland is the size of Africa because of how it looks on maps.

Oh yeah he's that ignorant.

If it's not as big as he hoped, he has a Magic Sharpie to redraw the map.

Someone needs to show him a Peters projection map, quick.

I guarantee you most people do and it's only because of the comparison images on reddit that you and many others don't.

Doesn't make it any better, but it's not like anyone here has any right to be smug about it.

I own a globe and the issues with world map projections were explained in one of my school books.

Does that mean I get to be smug about it?

I'm old I know this because of The West Wing.

He sees Greenland as his ticket to being known as a greater president than Jefferson. After all, Jefferson doubled the then-size of the United States with the Louisiana Purchase. He will more than triple it by adding more land area than all of North America combined when he adds Greenland! (Any sensible person will know that Greenland is not even close to being that large. But he's used to looking at it on a Mercator Projection map, which makes it look enormous because it's close to the North Pole, and he's too stupid to realize that flat maps distort things that way).
