**Trump’s envoy: Hospital ship not heading to Greenland after all**
> There is no hospital ship heading towards Greenland after all.
>
> This was confirmed by the US envoy to Greenland, Jeff Landry, to the Greenlandic media outlet KNR .
>
> This is despite the fact that US President Donald Trump said a week ago that the ship was heading towards Greenland.
>
> In a post on his own social media, Truth Social, the president wrote that the ship will take care of the many sick people who, according to him, are not being taken care of in Greenland.
>
> The reason it’s not suitable is the sea ice, which makes the sailing trip impossible. But the idea hasn’t been dropped, says Landry.
>
> “The Greenlandic people can expect that I will be very aggressive in ensuring that we provide healthcare to remote locations in Greenland”, Jeff Landry tells KNR.
Why would they send it to begin with?
What sea ice? Where in Greenland were you planning on going?
Trump having a dementia hallucination when he announced it.
The ship can’t navigate the bullsh!t spewing from trump and Landry’s mouths.
I just want to know why Jeff Landry was associated with this particular weird lie to begin with. A governor (a position which has no authority over Naval operations) of a state two states over from the state where the ship in question was dry docked, was supposedly facilitating its deployment?
Can Americans get some of this “aggressively ensured provided healthcare?”
Fucking twat.
Maybe instead they can send the ship to help all the people in the US who just lost their health insurance because the gop ended their ACA subsidies.
Amazing
Wow no shit Jeff, we all knew that already but I’m sure it came as a big shocker to you
They’re useless even when they pretend to be the bad guys.
It can try
They have two ships, one is in a dry dock for maintenance and the other is on its way to a different dry dock for maintenance.
So Trump lied? The shock. Has he ever said anything true?
Sums this administration up in a nutshell.
Lol…
I thought they were refitting a riverboat?
Very true. Also harder to pierce if they aren’t in any ice or actually not being entirely overhauled in dry dock for that matter.
Typically Canadian icebreakers will help US military ships navigate the arctic, but I think the official response in this case would be “hahaha hahaha fuck no… va te faire enculer”
I, for one, am shocked
