Trump states the obvious. But what’s it about?
Trump Links Greenland Threats to Missing Out on Nobel Prize
The Wall Street Journal reports Trump Links Greenland Threats to Missing Out on Nobel Prize
President Trump added a new dimension to his increasingly aggressive pursuit of Greenland, telling Norway that he no longer needed to think “purely of peace” after being snubbed for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The president threw another curveball into the debate on Sunday, linking his pursuit of the world’s largest island to missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize, which is awarded by a committee based in Norway.
Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre sent Trump a text message expressing opposition to the planned tariffs. Trump replied that the world wouldn’t be secure unless the U.S. has “Complete and Total Control of Greenland,” according to Støre.
“Considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS,” Trump wrote in the message, according to Støre. “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.”
On Monday, Støre said he had responded to the message from Trump. “We pointed to the need to de-escalate,” he said in a statement, adding that he had told Trump repeatedly that the Norwegian government has no say in who gets the peace prize.
“We had boats in Greenland too.”
Trump is a certified lunatic.
This is more evidence of a decline in his mental abilities. But things are certain to get more bizarre the further along we get in Trump’s term.
