By now you’re well aware President Trump has floated the idea of the United States buying Greenland. On Monday, Trump shared a hilarious photoshop from Ricochet’s Jon Gabriel speculating what might be in store for Greenland:

And with that, the media firefighters were on the job, starting with the Associated Press:

Maybe this would have been a better way for the AP to put it:
HEAVILY EDITED

How dare you give out #FakeNews !!
Where’s Snopes on this?
Can’t they take a break from stalking the Babylon Bee to clear this up?

I thought CNN would be the first to call it a fake picture but it's the AP, lame stream media outdoing each other again.

The funny Greenland thing yesterday is the Associated Press calling his Trump Tower in Greenland pic a "doctored photo". A hilarious "Snopes fact checking satire" move. The comedy is just off the charts.

Snopes is busy fact-checking the Babylon Bee, but when they’re finished maybe they can get on this one.
