    Apparently there's a book with a take on why Greenland is a thing with Donald Trump.


    “I love maps. And I always said: ‘Look at the size of this. It’s massive. That should be part of the United States,’” Trump reportedly said.
    ​

    Try as I might, I couldn't stop forming a fleeting picture of young D. Trump on the day map projections were discussed in class.

    Greenland is big, but not Mercator-big.Were it not considered largest island it would be smallest continent. Who the heck decides?

    Anyway, Denmark got there first and has not received a good-enough offer.

    Canada always liked the Mercator. It makes the country look frickin' huge.

    A dog thread would have broken three minutes.

    That's because of Quebec.

    We do the same thing in 'merica.....
    Does this projection make my 49th state look fat?
