Republicans are also confused by Trump's obsession with Greenland

GOP senators were left bewildered after President-elect Donald Trump delivered a bizarre hour-long rant on Tuesday about annexing Greenland and the Panama Canal.

Two top Senate Republicans voiced their confusion and uncertainty as to what Trump meant when he said he wanted to acquire Greenland and the Panama Canal during his press conference.

Since then, Trump made a post on Truth Social showing a map of Canada and the United States overlaid with the American flag with the caption, “Oh Canada!” He made another post with the same map and the words “UNITED STATES” covering both countries.

But his fellow Republicans don’t know what to make of it.

what did they think - we`ve had eight years of this stupid crap and now they are bewildered? They have painted themselves and the rest of us into a corner, and now we have to figure out how to deal with this pinhead making weird feints and bizzare lunges as he battles his unseen demons that live in windmills in greenland or something.

I kept saying, Russia practically gave it us.

At least Alaska has Anchorage and some nice spots down state. Apparently Denali is nice in the summer.

But Greenland????
