I think people can’t grasp the size of Greenland. It is so vast it covers up 99% of the Epstein files.

Everybody except the orange traitor knows the famous Viking guy Eric the Red said that’s why it’s not called Iceland.

Morons and greedy despots to the present day get confused. The Portuguese, centuries later, also practiced geographic disinformation in order to maintain their proprietary trade routes. Portugal had discovered the best winds to get around Cape Horn were reached by first sailing west toward the unknown horizon, before heading south to catch the easterlies around Southern Africa and on into the Indian Ocean. No maps and no tales got out to threaten their trade monopoly with India and China for a century wherein Portugal became the wealthiest nation on earth.

I've been wondering about this as well and I read that it was a clever marketing tactic to attract settlers from Iceland in times of Eric the Red, around 980 AD. I keep checking for weather in Nuuk and they are often higher than in my area, and I am roughly 900 miles south of Nuuk's latitude. Currently Nuuk is 48 degrees fahrenheit, my city is at 5 degrees.

... and quickly, because it's about to be renamed "Trumpland."
