MS Now host Jen Psaki had plenty of material to pick from as she roasted President Donald Trump over a rambling speech he delivered Wednesday during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
It was hard to keep track of all the gaffes and distortions the U.S. president dropped during his address, during which he argued that countries sometimes need a “dictator,” repeatedly mixed up “Greenland” and “Iceland,” and bizarrely bragged about people calling him “daddy.”
During Wednesday’s episode of “The Briefing with Jen Psaki,” the former White House press secretary used the icky nickname to mock Trump.
“Hey, daddy, I have a question for you. Why are we talking about Iceland all of a sudden?” she asked.
“I mean, I thought the territory that you wanted to take over is Greenland, not Iceland,” the pundit continued. “You can see them on the map there. Two different countries.”
Sarcastically, Psaki added, “But hey, we all make mistakes from time to time. A slip of the tongue. I mean, it’s not like you repeated that mistake over and over and over again in front of the entire world, right?”
The Nordic name-swap seemed even more remarkable considering Trump’s yearslong fixation with the idea of the U.S. annexing Greenland, a self-governing territory of Denmark.
Watching the speech, you could almost feel European leaders’ relief when the president of the United States said he does not plan to use “force” to take over Greenland.
He did, however, call his supposed continental allies “ungrateful” for not helping him seize control of what he described as just “a piece of ice.”
