The Insult Comedian’s latest appointment keeps intact his perfect record of unqualified appointees. As a satirist who lives in the Gret Stet Of Louisiana, I plan to thank Trump after I stop laughing:

“Several thousand miles separate the boiling bayous of Baton Rouge and Nuuk, the frozen capital of Greenland, but Jeff Landry is unlikely to be making the commute all that often.

The Louisiana governor and staunch ally of President Trump was at pains to say, after being asked to serve as special envoy to Greenland, that it would in “no way” affect his day job. “It’s an honor to serve you in this volunteer position to make Greenland a part of the US,” he wrote on X.

His appointment has again raised concerns in Denmark about the intentions of Trump, who said that “Jeff understands how essential Greenland is to our national security, and will strongly advance our country’s interests for the safety, security, and survival of our allies, and indeed, the world.”

Tak, Donald. That’s Danish for thanks.

The headline of the London Times article I just quoted sums up the Danes’ reaction, Denmark furious as Trump appoints ‘totally unacceptable’ Greenland envoy.

Unacceptable. Unqualified. It’s a typical Trump appointment.

There’s a hitch: The whole damn thing is illegal.

Tak to Bob Mann for sharing this. For some reason I couldn’t share his skeet but we’ll tak about that later…

Laws are for the rest of us to obey and MAGA maggots to flout. Hence the volunteer dodge. I feel a musical interlude coming on:

I don’t usually take the bait on nonsense like this. It’s another distraction from the Kaiser of Chaos who is MAGA’S master baiter. The Clownfish is not far behind. The MAGA malakatude, it burns.

I just had a vision of the Clownfish’s first mission to Copenhagen. He’ll wear a Viking helmet and denounce Denmark as the land of porn and butter cookies. In the unlikely event he becomes Greenland’s colonial overload, the helmet will be part of the daily outfit of this unfit and undiplomatic envoy.

Repeat after me: The MAGA malakatude, it burns.

There is an upside to this opera bouffe appointment according to Bob Mann:

On the positive side, in order to accept this important, prestigious State Department position from Trump, Jeff Landry will be required to step down as LSU Athletic Director.”

I nearly stole that joke since Bob’s skeets don’t embed. Weird shit happens on Bsky but not as weird as the Landry appointment.

The Trumpiest move imaginable would be for rabid Dane hater Thorfinn to accompany Landry on this mission. Unfortunately, he’s not only fictional, he’s dead; the oldest ghost on the sitcom Ghosts:

Thorfinn and the Clownfish would be a sensation. The Danes wouldn’t know what hit them.

Repeat after me: The MAGA malakatude, it burns.

The last word goes to Warren Zevon:
