The letter to the ambassadors

Great god almighty.

This is one time when a post on TwitX is the actual source: the news outlets quote it as the source so I might as well start there.

NEW:

@potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:

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”

There aren’t enough swears in the whole world.

Note the starting assumption that Norway (not the government of Norway but Norway itself) decided not to give Trump the peace prize – which rests on the prior assumption that it ever crossed “Norway’s” mind to award him any prize at all, let alone a peace prize. Note the mind-numbingly weird assumption that Trump was ever an obvious candidate for a peace prize or any other kind of Nobel prize.

Note that Trump frankly says he was “thinking purely of Peace” in hopes of a tangible reward. Note that he frankly says now in the absence of the award he’ll stop – in short, note that he’s brazenly saying he decides what to do based on what’s in it for him. Note that he admits that until now he was not thinking about what is good and proper for the United States of America.

Note that he asks why Denmark gets to own Greenland. Note that he does not ask why the US gets to own North and South Dakota, or Alaska, or Florida, or Hawaii, or, really, any part of the united states.

Never elect a toddler as head of state. It doesn’t go well.
