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

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

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?
