Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

I had looked past that entirely and read it as it was likely intended: the Danish military helped us out with an ill soldier, Trump responded by trashing Denmark’s commitment to the health of Greenland residents and lying about sending a floating hospital to take care of them. I think the tweet was just poorly worded because I never even noticed the issue when sharing it, and reading the entire tweet with the context of the article embedded in it filled in the gaps enough.

Articles and twitter users like this do not post this unintentionally. It was worded as such to get engagement and fuel fake outrage. You are proof they succeeded.

Eh, your point is well taken but I disagree. At no point did I read or share the tweet with the understanding that Denmark rescued an entire submarine, my frustration was with our President outright lying about actions he was taking to solve a non-existent crisis being ignored by the people who helped us.

I’d argue the President being an outrage merchant is also a more pressing issue to begin with.
