Donald Trump said yesterday that he's sending a hospital boat to Greenland, the Danish territory he's so hot to acquire. Apparently it's escaped his notice that Greenland and Denmark have free, nationalized health care systems.

But we don't. Many Americans, myself included, can't get adequate medical care owing to the appalling costs.

Before you know it, I'll have health care, a seat on the Kennedy Center board, and a pardon for a crime I haven't committed yet.

On this Presidents Day, does he remind you of anyone?
