Trump on Greenland: "It cannot go on the way it is. It's not gonna go on the way it is. I'll make a statement. It's not gonna happen. So they're going there, and it's purely friendship … people from Greenland are asking us to go there."

Aside from the hat, he keeps lying here about children getting "loans" from Social Security. They're survivor benefits for kids whose parents died.
