The White House has posted an image of Donald Trump with a penguin in Greenland, but people have pointed out one glaring problem.
It is just the latest in the quite honestly weird, whacky and bizarre to come out of either Donald Trump or his nation's social media channels.
In pure older-relative-on-the-internet style, the White House has posted their latest piece of AI slop, this time of Trump in Greenland next to a (foreshadowing) very lost penguin.
The post is captioned "Embrace the penguin".
Obviously the post concerns Greenland, but the picture in itself is odd and the message isn't much clearer.
However, the real issue people had with the post was...penguins don't live in Greenland.
Penguins - very famously - do NOT live in the Arctic, in fact they are native to almost exclusively the southern hemisphere, save for a small number in the Galapagos Islands on the equator.
Users were very quick to point this out.
One person replied to the post: "There are no penguins in Greenland you morons."
Another commented: "Trump doesn't know where is Greenland. Maybe he has confused it with Argentina where there are Penguins.
Even the unofficial account of Larry the Cat of Number 10 Downing Street got involved and wrote: "Cat check: Penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere."
Well in Larry.
