#Trump now not only blames #Norway for failing to give the #Nobel to him, but is using it as a justification for an invasion of #Greenland.
Think about where this is leading. One possibility, anticipated this morning by #financial #markets, is a damaging #TradeWar. Another is an American #military #occupation of Greenland.

Anne is right in her analisys.
But - as she mentions - because of Donald Dumb living in his own world, where rules are only given by his own "moral", a normal political discussion is useless.
Only help is massive resistance from within the US citizens and democrats; plus coordinated reactions from europe, i. e. tariffs, limits to US social networks (like already in discussion), and clear statements.
Only understandable language for him is power 💪
@Nonilex
The question remains:
But is the Congress still able to stop "him"? 🤨
(Keep in mind his enablers. Those with the money and a strategy, each for their own agenda. #ClubOfOligarchs )
@Nonilex
lock the bastard up and throw away the keys
Let me begin by quoting, in full, a letter that the president of the #UnitedStates of America sent yesterday to the prime minister of #Norway, Jonas Gahr Støre. The text was forwarded by the White House #NationalSecurityCouncil to #ambassadors in Washington, & was clearly intended to be widely shared. Here it is∶

@Nonilex It's weird that I could be so mistaken but I didn't know Donald was fifteen and using crack cocaine.
@Nonilex
Mr Trump is overacting his role of mad king
@Nonilex Never mind that the content of this is bonkers (their “country” didn’t give him a Nobel peace prize?), it reads as if it were written by a rather dull eight-year-old. I doubt I will ever get over the shame of having this malignant turd as our president, not once, but twice.
Thin-skinned, emotionally stunted, intellectually impoverished, and seemingly unstable.
One could observe many things about this document. One is the childish grammar, including the strange capitalizations (“Complete and Total Control”). Another is the loose grasp of history. Donald #Trump did not end 8 wars. #Greenland has been Danish territory for centuries. Its residents are Danish citizens who vote in Danish elections. There are many “written documents” establishing Danish #sovereignty in Greenland, including some signed by the #UnitedStates.
@Nonilex I think he uses Pooh Case, which is an affront to Pooh Case.
The 'history' he cites are things Stephen Miller told him in casual conversation over Big Macs.
In his second term, #Trump has done nothing for #NATO — an organization that the #US created & theoretically leads, & that has only ever been used in defense of American interests. If the European members of NATO have begun spending more on their own defense (budgets to which the US never contributed), that’s because of the threat they feel from #Russia.

Yet what matters isn’t the specific phrases, but the overall message∶ Donald #Trump now genuinely lives in a different #reality, one in which neither grammar nor #history nor the normal rules of #human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the #NobelPrize. The Norwegian Nobel Committee, not the Norwegian government & certainly not the Danish govt, determines the winner of that prize.

@Nonilex
He is probably obsessed with the Nobel Peace Prize because Obama won it i 2009.
He cannot tolerate Obama winning something that he himself does not win.

Try to imagine it∶ The #US #Marines arrive in #Nuuk, the island’s capital. Perhaps they kill some Danes; perhaps some American soldiers die too. And then what? If the invaders were Russians, they would #arrest all of the politicians, put #gangsters in charge, shoot people on the street for speaking Danish, change #school curricula, & carry out a fake referendum to rubber-stamp the #conquest.

@Nonilex each time I think he couldn't look more pathetic.He does something more pathetic.
Such a thin skinned little man baby
