Jeff Landry’s Greenland trip gets awkward fast

Gov. Jeff Landry is visiting Greenland as President Trump's special envoy. The national headlines haven't been kind so far.

• He's facing backlash after reportedly telling Greenlandic children to visit the Louisiana Governor's Mansion for "all the chocolate chip cookies you can eat." (Washington Examiner)
• His offers of MAGA hats and a selfie were turned down. (New York Times gift link)
• Greenlandic officials also took issue with an American doctor traveling with the governor to assess their health care system, the NYT reports.

What they're saying: "We sent this idiot to Greenland?" Esquire columnist Charles P. Pierce asks.

• "Jeff Landry — whose constituents want him recalled — is not even close to the right person to smooth things over," Esquire's headline reads.
