Donnie you dumb fuck the thing America is most famous for not having is socialized healthcare and you just got done killing ACA.
“Have you seen the prices on that boat?” - European with national health care.
Denmark doesn’t need to worry because both medical ships the US can deploy are still in dry dock. Unless Alabama itself is moving towards Greenland, the ship is just not showing up.
If that’s true the sequence of events will be something like:
- Trump demands the ship be sent immediately because he doesn’t understand what “dry dock” is.
- Someone in the chain of command who understands how bad that is uses proper channels to politely call for a small delay.
- That officer is immediately fired. Right-wing media starts rumor they are a trans immigrant when a document from 2012 is found where they listed pronouns.
- The officer is replaced with a 26-year-old toadie who has a background in podcasting about flat earth.
- Toadie immediately sends the ship.
- Ship sustains heavy damage from corrosion because it wasn’t painted yet, or some shit.
- The hospital ship spends 90 days sitting off-shore in Greenland. During this time it treats a handful of patients who, it later turns out, got paid to be there and aren’t even citizens of Greenland.
- Ship returns to USA to actually do the refit, where it turns out the damage is now catastrophic.
- Jared Kushner receives contract to build replacement ship, named “USS TRUMP 12” because we have 11 other USS TRUMPs.
- The money changes hands.
- The ship is never built.
- This is only reported by Common Dreams.
edit: fuck it, made it more elaborate.
So the medical ships are as useful to Greenland as American hospitals are to most Americans.
They’re about as useful as the American justice system is at prosecuting wealthy pedophiles.
Yup, both the USNS Mercy and USNS Comfort are currently in Mobile, AL for refits.

Mercy for a 1 year long maintenance period that began last July and the Comfort on a 3+ month period that began last month.
Looks like they have floating docks there. They can just tow the floating docks to Greenland.
Looks like he’s got something mixed up or needs to deflect about the Crew member of a US submarine that needed urgent medical care and was transported to a hospital in Nuuk.
Are we sure it’s not a Trojan horse, sent by the Stablest Genius?
It has COVID 26 on it.
Preparing for the hospital ships arrival, the cash register ships are currently being set up and will be ready to go.
Can’t have cancer in the US without going into medical bankruptcy but sure, send ships to other countries to treat other nationals (with a fully working and free healthcare service) for free.
More than 50 % of US voters voted for this.
He’s used to forcing things that no one asked for
They should state it as a waste of taxpayers money by a nonwelfarestate
