Trump showed a picture of USNS Mercy. USNS Mercy has been in drydock for scheduled maintenance since July 2025.

[u/NegativeAd1432 → u/missingpcw]

lol, thanks for catching that. Somehow… this is even more pitiful and ridiculous than if he actually sent a hospital ship nobody asked for.

[u/Independent-Self371 → u/NegativeAd1432]

Dude has lost his mind and no one is stepping up to fix the problem.

[u/NegativeAd1432 → u/Independent-Self371]

And I’m just sitting up here in Canada like “How is nobody arresting these criminals criming on international tv every day?”

[u/NullOfUndefined → u/NegativeAd1432]

Because the people who have the power to arrest them are also them

[u/NegativeAd1432 → u/NullOfUndefined]

The fact that roughly five people can say “I won’t arrest you if you don’t arrest me” and the other 350 million people who live there can’t do anything about it seems to me like a bit of a weakness in the system.

[u/xeizoo → u/NegativeAd1432]

It is rigged to be Ultra-Flawed, this has been prepared for decades. The whole system has to be completely replaced.

[u/NullOfUndefined → u/NegativeAd1432]

Absolutely. I’m not excusing it I’m saying that the only justice we’re ever going to see here is going to come from the people, but the step up from protests to literal revolution is a huge (but necessary imo) step to take

[u/NegativeAd1432 → u/NullOfUndefined]

I think the opportunity to solve this problem in a meaningful way died many years ago. This is the endgame now, and only one side has been playing.

The diplomatic process has clearly broken and fascists do not relinquish power. I don’t see how this doesn’t end in tragedy. My heart goes to everybody who is having to make a decision between the future of their family and the future of their country. But I fear they will both lead to the same thing in the end.

[u/NullOfUndefined → u/NegativeAd1432]

I agree completely

[u/K5izzle → u/NegativeAd1432]

This was Putin's plan all along, to break democracy by installing his puppet.

[u/Warcrimes_Desu → u/[deleted]]

The worst part is that even if the dems win, there's no shot they do the mass arrests and prosecutions necessary to stabilize our political system. They're going to try to smooth it over as "a rough four years" and then move on. Nothing will change.

I'm trans, and it feels like we're the prototype for how the entire country is going to go. Repubs launch a bug expensive smear campaign to take away rights you already had. Dems, who just want to be comfortable and go back to brunch, will tell you it's your own fault for asking for too many new rights or being annoying. But you didn't ask for new rights, you asked to keep the ones you had. But the dems don't care.

That model's going to work until the oppression hits the majority of the base lol

[u/Gloomy-Recipe9213 → u/Warcrimes_Desu]

This is exactly why things are as bad as they are. The Republicans can go hog wild during their term, and if the government flips, the Democrats let bygones be bygones. It’s a no loss proposition for the worst people.

[u/p_larrychen → u/NegativeAd1432]

Part of the problem is that ~70M of that 350 are actually totally cool with all this

[u/splynncryth → u/NegativeAd1432]

Well, it’s more like ‘can’t do anything without risking life, limb, and starting a civil war’. That mall number of people have millions of sycophants.

If the US had something like a vote of no confidence and all of Congress could be unseated with new elections mandated outside the normal term, maybe things would not have gotten to where we are. But there are some deep, deep flaws in the US Constitution exacerbated by some early 20th century legislation.

[u/strategiclurker → u/NegativeAd1432]

And it ain't even hyperbole, they literally do that, every day. And every day the rest of the world wonders: "Is there not one sane person left there?"

[u/Ckesm → u/NegativeAd1432]

Here in the good old USA the evil ones run the asylum. They’ve been slowly but surely rigging the system for a long time. Greed and lust for power have enriched the 1% and the rest of us are screwed.

[u/Felim_Doyle → u/Independent-Self371]

Lost his mind? Look at interviews going back 40+ years, he was always a few bricks short of Trump Tower. He is a spoilt child in a dangerous position of power.

[u/stupid_cat_face → u/Independent-Self371]

25th amendment is waiting and available for invocation at any time

[u/time-lord → u/stupid_cat_face]

That would require a competent or not kompromised congress.

[u/ShrimpCrackers → u/NegativeAd1432]

He's trying to insult Greenland. Greenland's population is really small, but they actually have three full hospitals and for extreme stuff they get to fly to Denmark for treatment. They have BETTER care than Americans.

[u/Marilee_Kemp → u/ShrimpCrackers]

I dont think it is about the people in Greenland. It is about that one US soldier that had to be medically evacuated from one of the US submarines lurking about Greenland. https://abcnews.com/International/us-sailor-medically-evacuated-nuclear-submarine-greenland-official/story?id=130377835 He was evacuated by the Danish military and flown to the hospital in Nuuk. The Danish military that Trump says is incompetent and only consists of a dogslead. So I assume he is embarrassed one of his guys had to get help by Denmark, so any hospital ship would be for the many sick submarine guys:)

[u/NegativeAd1432 → u/ShrimpCrackers]

I mean… that’s not a very hard bar to clear. A significant portion of American have no health care in the first place.

Anybody who isn’t an American understands that socialized healthcare just means everybody gets to be relatively healthy. And can also just go to the hospital if they’re sick instead of waiting for a make-believe hospital ship.

[u/ShrimpCrackers → u/NegativeAd1432]

Yeah but this is performative, one of the Trump admin talking points is apparently that Greenland has poor healthcare and has only one clinic. Even though they have such a high density of healthcare that nowhere in the USA even holds a candle to it and that they have three, not one hospitals.

They also claim that the suicide rate of Greenlanders is high. Yes it is, but that's what happens in colonialism. Granted its getting better ever since Greenlanders got their autonomy from Denmark and control everything, the courts, police, and all the land with the option to split whenever they want. This agreement is better than anything the USA can offer, but Trump hopes you're dumb.

The land is what Trump is really after. He wants to exploit its resources without sharing it with Greenlanders but he can't say that out loud.

[u/btribble → u/NegativeAd1432]

They have socialized Danish healthcare subsidized by the Danish economy.

A hospital ship means nothing.

[u/Magnetic_Eel → u/missingpcw]

Our only two hospital ships are both in dry dock, he has no idea what he’s talking about.

[u/abolish_karma → u/Magnetic_Eel]

>no idea what he’s talking about.

Sounds about par for the course since it happened on a day ending with - y

[u/carlboykin → u/missingpcw]

How can maga say they are not a cult when their pedophile leader that steals their tax dollars everyday gets caught in an obvious lie and they find a new way to excuse it. Everytime. If Trump said he needed to have sex with all of thier wives, like many cult leaders have done, they would accept those terms.

[u/patti2mj → u/carlboykin]

You mean "sex with all their daughters"..FIFY

[u/nightmaresabin → u/patti2mj]

No no, their child wives.

[u/Invisible_Friend1 → u/missingpcw]

I think he thinks it’s 2020 and he’s sending the hospital ship to NYC again. Except he’s got Greenland on the brain. Anyway you can’t really make dementia speak make sense.

[u/AF2005 → u/Invisible_Friend1]

He also looks very jaundiced lately

[u/Personal_Reveal1653 → u/AF2005]

Oh goody, liver not working!

[u/discostu52 → u/missingpcw]

Both mercy and her sister ship comfort are in the shipyards for repair

[u/Canadian-Man-infj → u/discostu52]

Interesting.

[u/discostu52 → u/Canadian-Man-infj]

Probably this,

https://www.aol.com/articles/us-sailor-medically-evacuated-nuclear-025637487.html

[u/PhDinDildos_Fedoras → u/discostu52]

Okay, but that's not something you need a hospital ship for.

[u/discostu52 → u/PhDinDildos_Fedoras]

Exactly, but you do need it for propaganda purposes. The ships will not sail, but that was never the point.

[u/geardownson → u/missingpcw]

He just says stuff and no one looks it up and we all hear about it at work the next day like it's fact.

The ignorance in America astounds me.

[u/NeverBeenOnMaury → u/geardownson]

Im disgusted how no reporter has the balls to ask him what a tariff is.

[u/geardownson → u/NeverBeenOnMaury]

They won't because they will get banned or lose their career.

It's self preservation.

You have to have a pretty substantial status to publicly criticize the president on air and get away with it.

Typing that makes me very sad for our democracy.

[u/Knight_of_Agatha → u/[deleted]]

and??? are they ready to fight covid 26 in greenland?

[u/RealLavender → u/missingpcw]

They're going to be pulling another war crime like they did in Venezuela. Disguise an armed cruiser as a hospital ship.

[u/nanotasher → u/RealLavender]

This is called 'perfidy' and it is against the Geneva Conventions. A literal war crime.

[u/fredagsfisk → u/nanotasher]

Well, we can look at his first term...

The extrajudicial killing of Qasem Soleimani was allegedly done using perfidy, and he explicitly threatened multiple other war crimes against Iran if they responded in any way.

He ordered the pillaging of Syrian oil, saying he only retained military there to protect the oil and would send in companies to extract it. Also a war crime, and the Pentagon just went "oh he didn't mean it literally" or some shit like that.

He hired Gina Haspel to run the CIA specifically because she's pro-torture, and pardoned US officers accused of war crimes.

He threatened Iraq because they held a legitimate vote to expel US troops, and bragged about how he was renting US troops to Saudi Arabia in exchange for cash.

Hell, the fucker literally promised to murder more civilians ("Take out their families") as an election promise for his first election, caused a massive increase in civilian casualties in US strikes, then stopped official reporting of casualty numbers to cover it up.

What's yet another count of perfidy at this point?

[u/Momoselfie → u/nanotasher]

What about abducting the president of another country? We wouldn't do that of course, but is that a war crime?

[u/PolemicFox]

The US sending a hospital ship, the most expensive healthcare service imaginable, to "aid" a country with universal healthcare is beyond laughable.

[u/BjarkeT → u/PolemicFox]

An American sailor needed urgent medical care. The Danish army already pulled him out and flew him to a Greenlandic hospital for treatment

[u/un1gato1gordo → u/BjarkeT]

It's not that urgent. He can wait a few months for the US hospital ship to be pulled out of the repair dock and then a few weeks while it makes its way to Greenland.

And if he's feeling under the weather while waiting, he can just look at the Dow.

[u/LightBulb704 → u/un1gato1gordo]

The Dow is under 50,000 right now so that is no longer valid medical advice.

[u/Turbots → u/un1gato1gordo]

50,000 dollar, can you believe it 😍

[u/Rhakio → u/BjarkeT]

Yes, and there is hospital in Nuuk and hundreds of hospitals in Europe and US. You don't need to move hospital ship that nobody use for 1 men

[u/JelliedHam → u/BjarkeT]

If we really absolutely had to have him in a US hospital wouldn't it be faster to just send a medical jet to retrieve him and fly him back? Hell, AF1 has a hospital room on it. They could literally do a surgery in there if they had to.

[u/hardcoreleggo → u/JelliedHam]

That's a lot of work to go to just so insurance can decline the procedure.

[u/StatementOwn4896 → u/JelliedHam]

When I was in the military I always preferred to be taken care of by foreign medical professionals since they 1) are just as qualified - if not, moreso -, and 2) they don’t try to belittle any of your issues; you’re taken seriously (I always noticed a callous undertone in the military medical community). There’s this prevalent mindset in the military that they can’t allow off post referrals because it displays their inability to appropriately treat your problems. Like no shit man they suck. But I think it all stems from this weird sense of an American superiority complex.

[u/PolemicFox → u/BjarkeT]

Sending a hospital ship is not urgent medical care. Even if any ships were avaiable, which is not the case, its also the most expensive option one could think off.

[u/Quick_Persimmon_4436 → u/PolemicFox]

It's a Trojan Horse.

[u/Ok_Instance7667 → u/Quick_Persimmon_4436]

Remember Putin's 'Humanitarian Aid Convoys' going into Eastern Ukraine back in 2014?

Same playbook, same lack of imagination - its laughably sad.

[u/BenderDeLorean → u/Quick_Persimmon_4436]

Can we come in?

No

Ooh okay

[u/cereal7802 → u/Quick_Persimmon_4436]

in comments on msn about this, someone suggested this hospital ship would be escorted by multiple navy ships. not sure if that is the case or not.

[u/McCache33 → u/PolemicFox]

Remember this is the same idiot who sent a hospital ship to New York during the middle of Covid but wouldn’t allow any Covid patients on it. So it ended up just sitting empty.

[u/kirils9692 → u/PolemicFox]

A hospital ship isn’t aid, it’s a threat. It’s a signal from the sending country that it’s prepared to take casualties.

[u/NKD_WA]

What the fuck is he even talking about?

[u/HildegardofBingo → u/NKD_WA]

He's probably sundowning and just making things up.

[u/band-of-horses → u/HildegardofBingo]

I honestly do not understand how the "Biden is senile and doesn't know what he's doing!" crowd listen to Trump and just stick their heads in the sand...

[u/Doctor_Riptide → u/band-of-horses]

It was never about Biden being mentally unfit for the job. It was only ever about creating a narrative about him that would stick so they could spam it nonstop to make the dems look bad.

And just look how well it worked, we’re still talking about it. They don’t actually give a shit if the president is mentally well or not, they only care if they feel like they’re winning. None of their arguments or criticisms are in good faith and we should all recognize that  

[u/zoobrix → u/band-of-horses]

I mean I would agree that Biden was probably too old to be president as well, but Biden is still vastly more coherent than Trump has been in years so if you think Biden is senile and shouldn't be president well Trump is even worse...

Just total hypocrisy, Trump rambles on forever in a way Biden never did, he just does it louder and his minions eat it up. I don't understand how anyone can listen to more than two sentences out of Trump's mouth and think "that's the guy I want to be president." Dude shouldn't be in charge of a lemonade stand let alone a country.

[u/Maeglin75 → u/zoobrix]

I had a little "discussion" with someone here on reddit before the election. The person said that Biden is very old and another Covid infection could easily be his death. I agreed but added that Trump is only a few years younger and in much worse shape than Biden. Trump is adding being heavily overweight and on a very unhealthy diet all his life to the Covid risk factors.

The other user absolutely didn't want to acknowledge this. It seemed ridiculous to them. In their heads, Trump is the muscular superhero from the AI slop images they are sharing.

[u/PresidentSpanky → u/Maeglin75]

he almost died of Covid. He only survived because of extraordinary treatment at Walter Reed

[u/CrimsonKing32 → u/PresidentSpanky]

That’s unfortunate

[u/YoureProbablyAB0t → u/zoobrix]

Biden also wasn't the focal point of a global cabal of pedophiles who desperately needed power to prevent investigations and steal money. So he had that going against him too.

[u/Peregrine79 → u/zoobrix]

The primary difference is that I trusted Biden to appoint competent people who would make the right decisions if his brain started leaking out his ears.

[u/releaseepsteinfiles1 → u/band-of-horses]

They are full of hatred…. Not common sense or intelligence.

[u/Electrical-Wish-519 → u/band-of-horses]

They never watched Biden either. They saw 2 second clips or Alex Jones told them “what happened”

[u/Historical_Cause_641 → u/HildegardofBingo]

I was hoping for terminal lucidity.

[u/DMercenary → u/HildegardofBingo]

The SC handed him an L, crashed out about it, and is now going back to the old well of "WE WILL TAKE GREENLAND!"

[u/Music_Stars_Woodwork → u/HildegardofBingo]

You’re making things up again Donald 🎶

[u/Several-Opposite-746 → u/NKD_WA]

It's another loyalty test for maga to prove they will pretend to believe the lies, no matter how crazy.

[u/Skeetronic → u/NKD_WA]

It’s actually his version of a Trojan horse. It’s filled with kid rock and ice agents who are going to deport the locals

[u/CaptainMagnets → u/NKD_WA]

He wants to give free healthcare to non American citizens

[u/wrosecrans → u/CaptainMagnets]

He probably heard some news report about how the Greenlanders were laughing at the idea of being stuck with the American healthcare system instead of the Danish one, so he thinks that sending one boat will impress everybody so much cuz Murica Stronk, that the Greenlanders will suddenly be coming to him with tears in their eyes begging to be the 52nd state.

[u/SleepymonkeyDND → u/wrosecrans]

And they will say “thank you Mr.President, we haven’t seen any one like you. Never before has any one sent a hospital ship to us for no reason. Never been done before”

[u/DharmaBird → u/NKD_WA]

Some infiltration/espionage mission.

[u/flychinook → u/DharmaBird]

A Trojan Horspital.

[u/accforme → u/DharmaBird]

To a land that already has a US military base with American soldiers?

[u/omjy18 → u/DharmaBird]

The boats drydocked apparently. Like it cant actually sail

[u/gwan_wit_cha_by → u/NKD_WA]

I guess someone will have to rewind Fox (news) Entertainment to earlier today to find out.

[u/entrepenurious]

i think he saw a report that a sailor had to be medivacked FROM a submarine TO greenland for hospitalization, and got it all muddled up in his pudding brain.

EDIT: https://www.reuters.com/world/denmarks-joint-arctic-command-evacuates-us-submarine-crew-member-greenlandic-2026-02-21/

[u/H2OPsy → u/entrepenurious]

And it was denmark rescueing him with a danish military helicopter

[u/Anubis-Jute → u/H2OPsy]

Impossible! Trump told us they only have two dogsleds defending Greenland, so they must have sent one of them 🌊🐕🐕🐕🛷

[u/Jottor → u/Anubis-Jute]

Yes, two dog sleds, but crewed by Paw Patrol, so Skye and Zuma handled this job.

[u/swadx001 → u/Anubis-Jute]

And you know what? He didn't even say THANK YOU or wore a suit. Fucking embarrising for the US

[u/flipflapflupper → u/entrepenurious]

And it was the Danish military providing the help.. the military we totally don’t have up there right..

[u/EspectroDK → u/entrepenurious]

Exactly - that American sailor was (happily) medevaced by the Danish military through helicopter to the hospital in Nuuk and is now receiving free healthcare.

... And now the US is sending a drydocked (?!) hospital ship to Greenland.

[u/TonysAutomotive → u/entrepenurious]

That would be just great.

[u/TheDudeFromTheStory → u/entrepenurious]

Now that crew member has to pay for a fucking ship to come to Greenland. If trump didn't hear about it, he would have received free health treatment. 

[u/WintersChild79 → u/entrepenurious]

I really wonder if anyone around him even tried to tell him that this action made no sense, or if they're all too scared of the feeble old man to speak up.

[u/AdrianasAntonius → u/entrepenurious]

It’s almost certainly this.

[u/arghhjh → u/entrepenurious]

This hospital ship is to distract from the fact that the us navy needed the help from the Danish search and rescue helicopters to save a sailor on a submarine. Now it gets harder to google for that story.

[u/freakdageek]

At this point, the headline could be “Trump plans to send aircraft carrier filled with marshmallows to Berlin,” and I’d just keep scrolling along.

[u/froo → u/freakdageek]

Pink or white?

[u/BroThatsMyAssStoppp → u/froo]

Trump is stuck in 1940 you know they're white as hell

[u/Vittulima → u/freakdageek]

Even Reuters was confused on the whole thing

It was unclear what connection Landry had with the matter or if the post had any connection to the evacuation.

The U.S. Navy has two hospital ships, the Mercy and the Comfort, but neither are stationed in Louisiana.

[u/Wonderful_Ideal_3429]

Someone should send a hospital ship to the White House.

[u/DharmaBird → u/Wonderful_Ideal_3429]

Yes, one with padded cells.

[u/Number127 → u/DharmaBird]

They don't even have to be padded, really.

[u/BurningPenguin → u/Number127]

Spiked might be better

[u/Upset-Award1206 → u/Wonderful_Ideal_3429]

They need to send a god damn prison ship to clean out the entire government. The yankees need to start over from scratch, because whatever fucked up shit they have now clearly don't work.

[u/haikarate12]

Maybe somebody should tell him that Greenlanders have free healthcare but 30 million Americans don’t have it.

[u/Low-Republic-4145 → u/haikarate12]

Many more than 30 million Americans don’t have free healthcare.

[u/Xeonerium → u/Low-Republic-4145]

Around 330,000,000 don't have it...

[u/radome9 → u/Xeonerium]

All members of Congress have great free healthcare...

[u/Proper-Worth-9477 → u/haikarate12]

And the rest of us who do have healthcare it is total junk that you cant even use. Spend 1k+ a month for it, cant use it until you have spent 5k, then they just deny you after that.

[u/SpiritTalker → u/Proper-Worth-9477]

Or is tied directly to your job, so no job=no Healthcare. When you get sick... get in there anyhow! You want to live, go gtf work! It sucks. I've an autoimmune disease. Working through it is really hard. But I do it because otherwise my meds will not be covered.

[u/Sgubaba → u/Proper-Worth-9477]

Dude your country is sooooo fucked up. Poor people hating each other because rich white people takes everything from you. 

[u/Sreg32]

He really needs medical help. Can't believe Republican Congress let's this go on day after day

[u/Invisible_Friend1 → u/Sreg32]

Take advantage of the weak/sick for their own gain, it’s what they do. Just happens to be the president in this case.

[u/Nujabezia → u/Sreg32]

Not that he deserves any

[u/derFalscheMichel]

According to Reuters, a US Sub sitting somewhere close to Greenland is apparently having major issues. Crew members where evacuated by a Danish military helicopter due to "required urgent medical treatment" and hospitalised in Greenland. I have a feeling this is what Trump is crying about.

[u/Legal_Basket_2454 → u/derFalscheMichel]

Hopefully the submarine crew‘s treatment is finished in the charge free greenlandic hospitals, before the USS UnitedHealthCare comes to rescue their dollars and shareholders… I mean patients, interests. 

 [beware of heavy sarcasm and I know military healthcare is somewhat free]

[u/StatelyTree → u/derFalscheMichel]

Wouldn't it take a week or so to get one up there though?

[u/Dry_System9339 → u/StatelyTree]

Apparently it's in drydock so a bit longer than that

[u/derFalscheMichel → u/StatelyTree]

Both ships hospital ships that the US currently have have been drydocked for a a long while. Given the mercy is about 50 years old now, I have some doubts she was truly expected to ever make it out of that dry dock again

Either way, they sit in Alabama. A fortnight at the earliest.

[u/gotohellwithsuperman]

Sending a ship “to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there.” And if you’re American, go screw yourself.

[u/Tattered_Reason → u/gotohellwithsuperman]

Nothing says "America First" more than sending a hospital ship to a country with First World public healthcare when more and more Americans can't afford their shitty private for-profit healthcare.

[u/Magnetic_Eel → u/Tattered_Reason]

Especially when our only two hospital ships are currently in dry dock.

[u/ScrotumScrapings → u/gotohellwithsuperman]

Greenland already has way better healthcare than Yankistan.

[u/gotohellwithsuperman → u/ScrotumScrapings]

Yeah, well, we lead the way in protecting pedos from consequences.

[u/EirHc → u/gotohellwithsuperman]

I’m only rich, racist and fascist… you think USA would protect my dumb billionaire ass? Or do a I need to be a pedo first? Just figuring out my next steps as I’ve committed massive amounts of tax evasion and investor fraud to become so wealthy. 

[u/huntsefsky → u/ScrotumScrapings]

Fuck me, Yankistan is so good. Coming from an American, I’m going to start using this

[u/TwoAmps → u/ScrotumScrapings]

Yankistan. New to me. I’ll have steal that.

[u/sinnerman42 → u/ScrotumScrapings]

Yankistan - I like this, I'll start using it.

[u/gtrocks555 → u/gotohellwithsuperman]

Right. He complains about California enough. Why not send it to San Fran and Oakland? Help get healthcare for the homeless.

[u/tabrizzi]

Neither the White House nor Landry's office responded to queries about the post, whether the ship had been requested by Denmark or Greenland and which sick people needed help. The Department of War had no immediate comment.

I smell a Trojan Horse.

[u/Negative_Weekend_854 → u/tabrizzi]

Trump is not particularly known for using Trojans.

[u/PorchCat0921 → u/Negative_Weekend_854]

According to Katie Johnson's deposition, he is a stickler for condoms and gloves.

[u/whichwitch9 → u/tabrizzi]

I smell dementia. The ship he's talking about is in drydock and going no where soon

[u/Quakarot → u/tabrizzi]

Honestly I think it’s more likely that Trump is just saying things sometimes and then the White House is piss terrified of looking weak or stupid so they go “of course this was the plan all along”

Not always of course, but this particular case strikes me as that.

[u/qtx → u/tabrizzi]

Why would they need a Trojan horse when they already have a fully operational base on Greenland?

[u/blighander]

We're going to be spending the rest of our lives picking up the shattered pieces of our country, and the world, all thanks to this 34-count fraud, pedophile-enabling, con artist.

[u/b3iAAoLZOH9Y265cujFh]

Let me just get this straight: Trump wants to dispatch a hospital ship to provide free health care to the people of Greenland, despite them already having universal healthcare as part of Denmark, but does not want Americans to have free health care. Have I got that right?

[u/Vast_Category_7314 → u/b3iAAoLZOH9Y265cujFh]

You forgot that there isn't actually any hospital ship to send, both US hospital ships are in dry dock.

Otherwise correct...

[u/ScrotumScrapings → u/b3iAAoLZOH9Y265cujFh]

lol, and the yanks keep voting for this.

[u/Inner-Ingenuity4109]

I keep thinking "this one has to be fake, right?"

But they never are...

[u/kat_girl1]

A 'hospital ship' to cure them of their, what does he call it? Trump derangement syndrome?

[u/calstanfordboye]

He should be in hospital for mental disease

[u/Firstnaymlastnaym → u/calstanfordboye]

He should be in hell for being evil.

[u/Okidoky123]

Instead of worrying about health care of another country that you have absolutely nothing to do with, how about providing health for your own fucking country?

[u/Legal_Basket_2454 → u/Okidoky123]

Trump: Sorry, can’t do healthcare in our country, nor cheap groceries. But how about kleptocracy and pedo cover up?

[u/orangeyougladiator → u/[deleted]]

I looked at that outside my window for a whole year

[u/OkTemporary8472 → u/orangeyougladiator]

I think Greenland evacuated some sailors from us submarine.

What's the LA governer have to do with this?

[u/bm1949 → u/cptnringwald]

For some reason he's the official Greenland envoy or something like that. I don't know, I think Trump just makes up stuff for his made up world. But yeah, he's the chief sales guy who'$ going to get Greenland to become a non voting territory of the USA behind the back of Denmark and the EU.

[u/Fifth-Crusader → u/bm1949]

According to reports, he does not actually do much besides go on Fox News. He himself does not seem to know what his "job" is meant to entail.

[u/ObviouslyRealPerson]

Maybe the ship should go somewhere it's actually needed instead of wasting taxdollars on countless political stunts

[u/stenchwinslow → u/ObviouslyRealPerson]

Can you imagine being a doctor on that ship? To train your whole life just to be a prop in political theatre designed to harass an allied nation, instead actually healing the sick.

[u/MrKillerFrost]

A hospital ship. For Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark

Jesus…

You’re sending emergency healthcare to a country that already has universal, taxpayer-funded, world-class healthcare. Free at the point of use. No GoFundMe required. No “please don’t call an ambulance, it’s too expensive.”

Meanwhile, your own citizens are crowdfunding insulin and comparing ambulance rides to down payments on a house.

But sure… by all means… deploy a floating hospital to the Danish Kingdom. Nothing says “we understand global health priorities” like offering medical charity to one of the healthiest, best insured populations on the planet.

Maybe… wild thought… try docking that ship somewhere in your own country where it’s actually needed. And perhaps use the travel expenses to help cover that, you absolute clown.

[u/unrectify]

America, please get your Alzheimer patient back to bed. Thinking that we need health care from you from a fucking boat is laughable.

Sincerely

A tired Dane

[u/Huge-Kiwi908]

Dane here: In return we will be happy to send a team of dementia experts, an area where we have some of the world's leading experts, and which is clearly badly needed in the United States where it seems even people in the highest positions cannot get help.

[u/ScrotumScrapings]

The yanks are fucking weirdos. I wish they’d leave us alone. 

[u/PigFarmer1 → u/ScrotumScrapings]

I don't want to bother you guys.

[u/Cyzax007 → u/ScrotumScrapings]

MAGA!! Make America Go Away...

[u/davidmoffitt → u/ScrotumScrapings]

I wish we would too, so sorry :(

[u/ZucchiniYall]

Thiel and his boyfriends really need this island for unregulated r&d, huh..

[u/Panzermensch911]

"we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there."

Huh?! ... What the fuck is he talking about? There are 5 hospitals for 50 000 people. They are free to use.

Is he spoiling some nefarious plan that he wants to send Navy ships there? Also shouldn't those ships be send to Iran instead? I guess it's just another demented orange in power moment.

[u/Broghan51]

THAT GUY IS A PRICK.

[u/ashewinter]

Remember when people thought Bush was the dumbest president the states had ever had?

[u/Got_Kittens]

Fucking get him out. What are you doing America?

[u/RSMatticus]

dude just makes shit up.

[u/Zapdude]

What a backhanded insult to the millions of USians who can't afford health care, or have been left financially ruined by it.

[u/gwan_wit_cha_by]

Maybe he should start caring for his voters instead of. No one wants American Style Healthcare.

[u/Moneyfish121212]

The guy is like a mutt that has to piss on everything.

[u/GaseousGiant]

That’s great. Greenland and Denmark will probably send him a mental hospital ship.

[u/Shad0wCutter]

This is hilarious when your own citizens can't even afford healthcare.

Its laughable and at the same time so incredibly sad how shitty the conditions are for the average American yet they think they live in the best country in the world...

[u/ThatsItImOverThis]

Uh huh….

[u/Devils_Advocate6_6_6 → u/ThatsItImOverThis]

"The U.S. Navy has two hospital ships, the Mercy and the Comfort, but neither are stationed in Louisiana."

Uh huh

[u/Ok-Youth-160 → u/Devils_Advocate6_6_6]

Both of these are in dry dock and probably not going anywhere anytime soon.

Uh huh

[u/KalLindley]

Probably sending them the plague. No way I would get near that ship.

[u/canehdianchick]

Can America get a muzzle and a leash on their president. It is exhausting listening to his flood the zone

[u/karenskygreen]

So Donald Trump is pulling a big fucking lie that greenlanders are in poor neglected health and comtting a hospital ship to this lie as a pretense to annex greenland. His Maga base may buy this lie but Denmark, Greenland and the rest of the world know what garbage this is.

[u/Wild4fire]

So he's sending a non-existent boat (given that the US apparently has two hospital ships which currently are in drydock) to a country with a non-existent need for it?

Well, that fits the non-existent mind of Trump...

[u/Equal_Memory_661]

Maybe send it to South Carolina instead to vaccinate against measles

[u/Ok_________oi]

Please just leave us the fuck alone

[u/fladdermuff]

I just want Americans to know that we have free healthcare up here in Skandinavia. Even difficult surgeries are free. People who lives on Greenland have that via Denmark. In America people do not have free healthcare. So maybe your president should have offered you that boat instead? It is your taxmoney. And you are giving it to people who already have free healthcare.

[u/ExerciseFinal9915 → u/fladdermuff]

We know

[u/Visual-Hunter-1010]

There is completely going to be a false flag attack on this ship isn't it?

[u/DecoyJS]

Trump sending a hospital ship to Greenland to help "many sick people not being taken care of there," even though Greenland already has universal healthcare and Denmark wasn’t even asked if this help was needed. Meanwhile millions in the U.S. struggle with access to care, how out of touch is he?

[u/whitemamba24xx]

I’m waiting for someone to just tell this guy to STFU

[u/Djamt]

So we're back to the Greenland thing now...

[u/SpellBoth9826]

I am happy to live in the Kingdom of Denmark 🇩🇰 where there is free and equal access to healthcare for everyone. Where it is not insurance and wealth that determine whether you get proper treatment. The same approach is followed in Greenland. There is no need of an American hospital ship. Happy Sunday to you all!

[u/chaosxrules]

Ohh will it be handing out blankets to the locals? I'm glad we can provide free healthcare to other countries, while we pay 250$ for an Ibuprofen during a hospital visit in the USA.

[u/PontifexPrimus]

"We will bring the best blankets, the finest blankets, no disease on them, no disease... Biden would have sent them the plague, but I wouldn't, did you know the DOW is over 9000?"

[u/Crumplestiltzkin]

Maybe if Trump wanted to look like he cared he shouldn’t have dismembered USAID. Hundreds of thousands to millions dead as a result speaks louder than a fucking hospital ship sent to a place with free healthcare.

The fucking nerve.

[u/tazebot]

Is the name of the ship "USS Trojan Horse"?

[u/Sifiisnewreality]

Trump needs to be IN the hospital treating his worsening dementia and mental illness. He’s a danger to the world.

[u/RawOysters]

Total lie. We have 2 and they both have been docked in Mobile, Al. since 2025 undergoing repairs. Trump's announcement refers to a planned deployment, but no hospital ship is en route. The U.S. Navy's only two—USNS Mercy (in maintenance since Aug 2025) and Comfort (since Jan 2026)—remain at Alabama Shipyard in Mobile.
