Trump sent a hospital ship to Greenland in February, no one seems to know what happened to it.

Bermuda triangle? UFOs? Sold to the highest bidder?

Has the hospital ship made it to Greenland yet?

From Wapo Feb.:

The U.S. Navy operates two hospital ships, the USNS Comfort and USNS Mercy. Neither appears ready to deploy any time soon, and both were at a maintenance facility, Alabama Shipyard in Mobile, on Sunday, according to ship-tracking data.

In December, the Pentagon said it had signed a $16.7 million contract with the shipyard to place the Comfort in an extended period of maintenance beginning Jan. 15 with expected completion by April 26.

You just go to Home Depot, pick up a few dozen cans of white spray paint, and slap some Red Crosses on the side. See? So easy even a Trump can do it!

Trump says things for effect. And nothing else.

Reality doesn't come into it.
Trump and Reality don't intersect on a Venn diagram.

Some people are slow learners!

GDG (grumpy delusional grandpa) lost the plot a long time ago.

At the time of the announcement, late night host, Seth Meyers, joked that the United States sending a hospital ship to Greenland made about as much sense as Ireland sending a pasta boat to Italy.

It actually was already on the move heading to Mobile (yes the opposite direction) and the other hospital ship has been in Oregon. The one in Oregon is finishing a refit and the other one is getting ready to undergo one. As usual he lied and he figured the media would cover for him by showing the ship leaving Norfolk and never bothering to tell anyone it was going south instead of north. This is his second most used lie, he will pick something that is already going on and just usurp it figuring people are too lazy to check.
