Trump: The United States Must Immediately Acquire Madeira
In a shocking statement this morning, former U.S. President Donald Trump declared that the United States should "immediately acquire" Madeira Island to strengthen NATO’s defenses against an unspecified threat from China.
He stated: "Look, Madeira is a strategic gem in the Atlantic - beautiful, and frankly, underutilized", Trump asserted during a press briefing at his home in Mar-a-Lago: “We need it to protect the United States and our allies. Maybe build a Trump Hotel Resort too - tremendous potential.”
Look, Madeira is a strategic gem in the Atlantic - great golf courses, terrific wine, beautiful, and frankly, underutilized (…) We need it to protect the United States and our allies. Maybe build a Trump Hotel Resort too - tremendous potential.

Madeiran Parliament Refutes Claims
Analysts suspect the announcement ties to Trump’s long-standing belief, that "islands are just big boats the U.S. hasn’t boarded yet." Meanwhile, the Madeiran parliament dismissed the idea as "absurd", though some officials joked about renaming Funchal’s harbor "Trump Marina."
Happy April Fools’ Day! 😃 😍
