Does this mean that Canada would be the U.S.A.'s hat, and the U.S.A. would be Canada’s hat?

I still like the Peters Projection, but it seems to give short shrift to Greenland.

Given J Bolton’s interest in buying up our privatised health service, how sure are we that ‘Greenland’ isn’t Trump’s code word for post-Brexit (dis)UK? Should be available for a fire sale price.

Suggest to Trump that if he flies to Greenland and plants the American flag in it, he gets it for free.
Too bad the residents of Greenland planted a flag on Air Force One while he was doing that.

We’ll send another plane to pick him up Real Soon Now.

Yes, I’m sure the Greenlanders would really prefer to be part of the US, rather than Denmark.
Meanwhile, in response to President Dumbass:
Trump isn’t some savvy distractor - he really is the hyperactive dog, who is constantly doing dumb things that get media attention, even when he doesn’t need/want it. That it overall works in his favor is accidental. (Though the media are still dumbfucks for being unable to properly deal with this and adjust to the new reality.)

I think this map is really nice. Just choose a country and drag it around so you can see how it compares to other parts of the globe:

Nice choice for the comparison location 
While the Mercator projection is miserable for comparing the relative sizes of landmasses at different distances from the equator, two things are true about Greenland
- It’s bigger than Alaska (by about 25%)
- It’s about the same size as the Louisiana Purchase

Hopefully not the same simple tool that wants to buy Greenland.

I think Trump is like Mr. Burns in the Simpsons who had so many diseases that none of the diseases could manage to kill him. With Trump he has so many scandals and says so many stupid things that none of them manages to stay in the news long enough to take him down. If he did only one of the many, many, many illegal and stupid things he has done he would have been out of office long ago. Instead each new scandal distracts from the last one so quickly we can’t catch our breath.

That to which it was attached precede it would I suppose.
