Government By Irresponsible People

 If I said this about America (and I could):

"Jรธrgen Boassen, a 52-year-old Greenlandic bricklayer who last year helped organize Donald Trump Jr.’s visit to the island, says he was the one who inspired Jeff Landry, governor of Louisiana and Trump’s appointed Greenland envoy, to propose the idea," the Journal wrote.

During a Mardi Gras cultural exchange trip in Louisiana, Boassen griped to Landry about Greenland's "deteriorating" healthcare system, citing his mother's tragic death from sepsis after a misdiagnosis at a rural clinic.

“I told him our healthcare system is deteriorating, and that people are sick. Some people are diagnosed too late,” Boassen told the Journal.

He said he didn’t ask for a U.S. hospital ship, "but any help is appreciated."

Landry brought up Boassen's concerns at a White House dinner, telling Trump that Greenlanders "absolutely need" medical assistance.

“I said, they absolutely need it. He said, ‘Well, let’s get it,’” Landry said.

Within hours, Trump publicly trumpeted his plan on Truth Social, claiming ships were "on the way" to help residents "who are sick, and not being taken care of there."

Greenland's leaders weren't amused, with Health Minister Anna Wangenheim branding it psychological warfare.

Notably, despite Trump's urgent tweets, no hospital ships were actually ordered to deploy. Both Navy vessels remain stateside undergoing maintenance, according to the report.
(and it’s not just in rural areas) Would Canada or a European government send us some of their socialized medicine?

Of course not; their leaders are not clowns. ๐Ÿคก
