President Trump is now claiming that one reason he is pushing to acquire Greenland is that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, according to a text message he sent to Norway’s prime minister over the weekend.
Invading Greenland would be a barbaric crime. And it is clear that Ron DeSantis or Nicky Haley, whatever your opinion of them, would not commit it.
Fun fact: Barack Obama is the only Nobel Peace Prize winner to bomb another Nobel Peace Prize winner (Doctors Without Borders, 2015) https://t.co/VaqTIjdvxK

Using economic force to take Greenland would be fine. I’d oppose military force.
Let's be honest. If Trump did use military force to try to take Greenland, you'd be on this message board defending him with your life, saying it was the best and only option.

Why do you constantly whine about Trump despite not being American?
Oh America...the sooner you get rid of that deranged President of yours, the better. He is single handedly destroying the established world order, it's norms, it's organisations that have been around for decades, the relationships that the US has built over many years.
Using the Nobel Peace Prize and 'the China Threat' as justification show's how bat-sh*t crazy he is. China literally does not GAF. As famously said recently by one of their diplomats, China has been around for hundreds of years, way before the US, and will still be here for a long time yet. The USA will
The rest of the world is literally laughing in amusement, condescension, and fear. He's absolutely crazy. Get him out. Impeach him. Overthrow him. Whatever. Just get rid of him.

This constitutes sedition and it should be deleted.
The EU's current thinking focuses on two primary economic "weapons": 1. The €93 Billion "Ready-to-Fire" Package The most immediate countermeasure being discussed is the reactivation of a massive tariff package that was drawn up in 2025 but suspended after a brief trade truce last summer. The Targets: This list is strategically designed to hit President Trump’s political base. It includes high-value goods such as American-made cars, aircraft (specifically targeting Boeing), bourbon, tobacco, and high-end agricultural products. Speed of Implementation: Unlike new laws, this package has already been vetted. Diplomats suggest it could be triggered "within days" of any U.S. move, effectively nullifying the July 2025 trade agreement. 2. The "Trade Bazooka" (Anti-Coercion Instrument) While the €93 billion package uses traditional tariffs, France and Germany are pushing for the first-ever activation of the Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI). This is a much more aggressive tool intended to punish "geopolitical blackmail." Market Lockouts: Under the ACI, the EU could legally shut U.S. companies out of public procurement contracts worth billions. Service & Investment Restrictions: It allows the EU to limit U.S. firms' access to the European internal market, potentially targeting American Big Tech and financial services. Intellectual Property (IP) Freezes: In extreme scenarios, the EU could freeze IP rights for U.S. companies, a move that would represent a total rupture in economic relations.

but would JD Vance?
That is the question.
If trump keels over today, would JD feel he had to do something big to cement maga to him?
The rest of the world needs to clean up its act. We are losing Europe to a horde of invaders who threaten their cultural stability and heritage. Of the world's preeminent leaders only Donald Trump really cares about this issue. This worldview is the only one which will bring peace to the world and stabilize the western culture which teeters on brink of destruction from the assault by islamists who are intent on establishing Islam throughout the globe. This marks him as the most deserving recipient of the Nobel Peace prize. Given his leadership in protecting western civilization from this unprecedented assault, he is correct in asserting his right to that honor.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has quite the story to tell. When looking back at his political career, one might even be tempted to turn it into a screenplay. T...
I had to confirm that this is real. Seriously. But it is real... Trump says he is gets Greenland because he didn't get his silly prize. And the icing on the cake is that Trump is reportedly invoking the insurrection act on MLK day and sending military to MN.
The most dire predictions of Trump's presidency were way, way too conservative and optimistic.
Dear Ambassador: President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state] “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”
I'm lost for words.
The Norwegian government doesn't decide the Nobel Prizes. In fact, a member of the committee is a former opposition leader.
And Greenland isn't part of Norway, it's part of Denmark.
Oh come on, don't nitpick. The country that owns Greenland is being punished because the country that doesn't own Greenland but hosts the independent organization that gives the prize didn't make the independent organization give the prize to the child (you know, like Trump would have tried to do).

In any other time, a completely deranged letter to a foreign leader and longtime US ally stating that war was coming because he was not awarded a meaningless prize for “peace” would be a smoking gun. The debate would not be about whether to impeach. It would be between impeachment and the 25th amendment.
This morning: 53 GOP Senators mostly shrug.
And hundreds of members of his administration continue not to think: Should I be supporting this?
