Jen Psaki won’t shut up about President Trump referring to Greenland as Iceland during remarks at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, prompting media figures to claim he confused the two. But Trump knows the difference between Greenland and Iceland. It is entirely possible that he refers to Greenland as “Iceland” in conversation, as he did at the WEF.
About 80 percent of Greenland is covered by an ice sheet year-round. It contains the second-largest ice sheet in the world, after Antarctica, with ice up to two miles thick in places. In a literal sense, it is very much an ice land.
Donald Trump loves to do this to the media — baiting them into obsessing over wording and optics while he advances the substance of his agenda.
