While introducing his guests on MSNBC's "The Weekend," co-host Michael Steele promised they were going to cover "A whole lot of stupid," and then proceeded to mock Donald Trump's out-of-nowhere fascination with buying Greenland.
Getting right to it, the former Republican National Committee chair sarcastically joked to his co-hosts and guests, "Let's start with this smart idea that we are somehow going to take control of Panama and that we want to go and buy Greenland."
"Why?" he continued. "Because it is there and it is green and I guess that is what Donald Trump wants to do."

Turning to guest Marianna Sotomayor of the Washington Post, he asked, " Is there any appetite, do you think, from your reporting and your coverage of these things with this coming Congress, the idea that they are going to entertain legislation to do these crazy fantasy-driven ideas of Donald Trump that, somehow, he not only wants to rule the United States but he wants to rule the world?"
"Absolutely not," she shot back. "Honestly among Democrats and definitely among Republicans, they don't want to be doing these things. There are so many things Congress could do, not to mention raising the debt ceiling in just a couple of weeks Janet Yellen just mentioned that Wednesday night saying this should be the priority of the conversation even before Trump is sworn in."
"How are they going to tackle something like this? Trying to acquire other nations or other nations' properties?" she added.
