Greenlanding the news

...

If I were to write a song about journalism, I would have to title it Feces. The reaction to Trump’s announcement that he reached an agreement with Denmark to control Greenland is a classic example of people spinning gold into, well, you know what.

Rather than admit the pundits were wrong and Trump once again made a great deal, the press immediately began spinning gold into, well, feces.

The New York Times said, “U.S. Has Reached Security Deal on Greenland, Trump Says — The full contours of the deal were unclear, but Denmark and Greenland both indicated they expected an agreement to be signed soon.”

Trump’s tweet included details in 331 words.

- It costs us nothing.
- It is permanent.
- It allows us to build military bases.
- It gives us control of the frozen island.

Since global warming (aka climate change) is going to fry most of the U.S. I plan on learning to speak whatever Eskimos speak (Inuit?) and eating whale blubber. And hey, houses are cheap, just stack chunks of packed snow.

Seriously, could this be one step closer to Trumpland?

I would love to go prospecting there for metals & gems. When the glaciers melt, the rivers that run to the coasts are supposedly a rockhounds paradise.

How long will it be before trolls invade this thread claiming the Trump deal does nothing beyond the 1951 agreement with Greenland?

An unmitigated victory for Trump.

Maybe one of the longest lasting as well, time will tell.

Some time ago trump entertained the Pope on a yacht in the Potomac. A gust of wind blew the Pope’s miter off his head and into the water. Trump said: “Not to worry, your Eminence, I’ll retrieve your hat.” as which point he vaults over the gunnel, and WALKS over to the hat, picks it up and WALKS back to the yacht, and effortlessly jumps back onto the deck and hands the hat to the Pope.

The next day, headlines around the world were: “Trump Can’t Swim!”
