There are no penguins in Greenland you absolute moron.

@petergleick I'll let it pass if this is a promise that the two will disappear over the mountain range never to be seen again.

Where is Batman when you need him?

No but Trump wants to be Emperor of Greenland.

@petergleick Republicans are idiots

[blustoftimes@mastodon.scot]

@petergleick maybe they mean Trump is like The Penguin from Batman which I can see the resemblance.

You know...
I think we keep underestimating the absolute madness driving that man.
That's not Greenland.
That's Antarctica.
I think he's telling us he wants all of America from the North Pole to the South Pole.

Do not embrace the penguin, Donald.

The penguin said, "No".

@petergleick Trump - and his half-ass meme staff - can't tell Greenland from Iceland; or, in this case, Antarctica.

There is no Matterhorn (from the Alps) in Canada either. Still he posted an image with these things.

@grumble209 @petergleick
Greenland is "a piece of ice", hence it is Iceland.

But once he renames it to "blue red and green land", it will be officially US. Or french. Or dutch. Or russian.

Did he mess up Austria and Australia yet?

[grumble209@kolektiva.social]

@martin_ueding @petergleick He told a roomful of people in Switzerland that they'd all be speaking German if it wasn't for America.

Trump is a bizarre mix of intensely evil and intensely stupid.

[mast0d0nphan@beige.party]

@diekehrseite @petergleick Nah, more like date**** because he'd force himself onto the penguin.

@grumble209 @petergleick
There is one interpretation that one could have: Since in the US people usually only speak English (and the British were quite proficient in their colonial phase), international events are mostly held in English. If the US wouldn't attend in Davos, the event might be done in the local language, which is German (de-CH).

But I guess even then, English is today's lingua franca. 1/

[martin_ueding@bonn.social]

@grumble209 @petergleick
And then there is this story that in the early US, there was some kind of vote or discussion about whether to adopt English or German. I've read that is a legend and there was never a real chance that it would be German.

But either way, the US could have adopted German as a language and then it would be even funnier. 2/2
