Trump Demands NATO Give Him Greenland Because Norway Wouldn't Give Him the Nobel Peace Prize

Here is an actual communique from President Trump to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Støre:

Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT.

The hubris, insanity and stupidity are utterly breathtaking.

The Nobel Peace Prize is not bestowed by the Norwegian government. Despite this fact, Trump sees fit to blame the Norwegian government for not being handed one and because of this blame now tells us he no longer feels on obligation to peace. 

From there, Trump not only asserts that Denmark cannot protect Greenland from Russia and China but also questions the legitimacy of its claims to the world's largest island.

Trump then claims he has done more for NATO than anyone ever and now NATO should do something for the United States. Of course, when Trump says the United States, he means himself. 

He concludes by making the preposterous claim that the world is not safe unless he has "Complete and Total Control of Greenland."

These are not the words of a rational man. 

They are also certainly not the words of a man operating in good faith.

I would be tempted to call for the invocation of the 25th Amendment. But such an invocation would bring us JD Vance who is every bit as committed to this madness as Trump.

Well, I knew Maria Corina Machado gifting him her Nobel Peace Prize would only make him want the award for himself even more.

I also predicted that before the end of this year that Trump would launch a military invasion of Greenland and launch strikes against Denmark. Given his anger at Norway for not bestowing him with a million Nobel Prizes, I guess we can expect bombs to drop on Oslo too. 

Simply put, there was no issue with Greenland until Trump decided to make it one. As with his obsessive imposition of tariffs, this is a crisis of Trump's own making. Yet it is quite possible that Greenland will fly under a U.S. flag before the end of 2026.

Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of his second term back in the White House. The damage Trump has done has only scratched the surface and is going to get worse with untold bloodshed, carnage and death. Most frightening of all is that 40% of this country will gladly go along with it.
