Trump made a social media post that puzzled the world, and we finally have a chain of events that might help explain the comments that were mocked globally.
He posted, quote,
Working with the fantastic governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick and not being taken care of there.
It's on the way.
President DJT.
Greenland is currently facing no epidemic, no hospital failures, and no mass incidents.
That led to the world wondering why Trump would claim to be sending a hospital boat to Greenland, especially when both the Comfort and the Mercy, which are the names of our hospital ships, are undergoing maintenance and are definitely not on the way.
All of this information left people wondering if Trump's moments were growing more severe.
While most of the world mocked Trump and the U.S.
over the incident, Greenland's prime minister tried to keep it mostly civil.
Quote, It will be a no thanks from here.
President Trump's idea of sending an American hospital ship here to Greenland has been noted.
But we have a public health care system where treatment is free for citizens.
It is a deliberate choice and a fundamental part of our society.
It is not like that in the United States, where it costs money to go to the doctor.
We are always open to dialogue and cooperation, also with the U.S.
But talk to us instead of just making more or less random outbursts on social media.
Denmark's prime minister randomly said, quote,
I'm happy to live in a country where there is free and equal access to health for all, where it is not insurances and wealth that determine whether you get proper treatment.
You have the same approach in Greenland.
