During Tuesday’s episode of the program “The Five” (20), Jesse Watters supported Donald Trump’s idea of annexing the island of Greenland and then said that the Moon belongs to the United States.

“We have to secure Greenland. That will happen,” declared the Fox News host, stating that the country has always secured its interests, “either by force or by purchase.”
“The purchase of Louisiana, Alaska, the Philippines. We even kept the Marshall Islands after World War II,” Jesse Watters recalled. “We got the Moon. I think we own it, I know we own it,” he said.
Despite the host’s delusion, the US does not own the Moon, since the 1967 Outer Space Treaty establishes that outer space is the “province of all mankind” and cannot be claimed by any nation.
Users on X, formerly Twitter, reacted to Jesse Watters’ comments. Many said he was “crazy” and made jokes about the statement.
One of them posted a GIF of the character Gru from “Despicable Me,” whose goal is to “steal the Moon.”
