Trump said “Iceland” when he appeared to mean “Greenland” four times in his speech. Leavitt later denied he mixed the names up.
>No he didn’t, Libby. His written remarks referred to Greenland as a “piece of ice” because that’s what it is. You’re the only one mixing anything up here.
>Leavitt referred to Trump’s “written remarks,” not what he had said spoken. Asked why Leavitt would deny Trump had made this mistake, White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers replied with a written statement that provided no more clarity on the matter:
Edit:
He said “piece of ice” eight times during his speech, e.g. *Big, beautiful piece of ice. It’s hard to call it land. It’s a big piece of ice.”
Why did he say “Iceland” four times (he meant Greenland), though he stated that it is “hard to call lt land”?

He felt like he was saying Greenland so why do you come at him with so called “facts” just because you and the rest of the world heard him say Iceland at least 4 times?!

Well his speech is on video with audio. Anyone can clearly hear what he said. So, it’s either he mixed them up or he’s now after Iceland too.
But hey, the Access Hollywood taped confession of CSA was everywhere in 2016 an a majority in the right locations put him in the White House. So he’s right about 1 thing, he can get away with anything

Besides Trump confused Greenland and Iceland during Tuesday’s press briefing at the White House.:
“We’re the richest we ever were. It’s because of tariffs and the proper use of tariffs, and we’re also the most secure,” Trump said. “As an example, Iceland, without tariffs, they wouldn’t even be talking to us about it. So we’ll see what happens. I think it’s going to work out quite well.”

That’s not a question. He said it 4 times in one speech and continues to blunder it. Leavitt is mentally I’ll just like her boss. Just report the truth, don’t frame it as if reality doesn’t exist.

This isn’t in the top 100 stupidest things Trump has said or done in the last month, but it is still a little surprising that he knows less about geography than everyone who has seen D2: The Mighty Ducks. Probably for the best that Trump never watched that movie though. Trump legitimately believes that everything he sees on his TV is real, if he ever watched D2 we would probably be on the verge of invading Iceland instead of Greenland, to get revenge on the Dentist for what he did to our boy Gordan Bombay.

So she’s basically saying that Trump is also eyeing Iceland if he didn’t confuse the two?

I would like to propose a new word for the oxford english dictionary.
leavitt \’lev.ɪt\ n:
1. A person whose devotion to a revered figure overrides truth, principle, and self-respect; one who will assert, deny, invent, or recast “facts” on demand, not from confusion but from calculated loyalty.
2. A fervent partisan-adherent; equal parts sycophant and fanatic; who treats admiration as a moral duty, disagreement as heresy, and honesty as negotiable if it fails to serve the chosen cause or idol.
3. By extension: speech or conduct marked by performative reverence and strategic dishonesty, deployed to flatter, defend, and sanctify another’s status at any cost.
Usage*:* “Don’t bother with evidence. She’s a leavitt; she’ll say whatever elevates the person she worships.”

It’s become so normal, but sometimes you have to take a step back and realize that in any normal admin, the press secretary would just say ‘The president misspoke but was clearly referring to Greenland. Next question.”
But Trump is so sensitive that his people have to constantly cover for what occasionally is quite a normal thing, like misspeaking (Greenland context aside, definitely not normal). Trump is just so deeply insecure that they have to lie about things that are easily proven false. They’d rather look like idiots, and lie to Americans than risk insulting the delicate flower.
