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”

    Aside from the horrible implications of this letter. Can we address his writing style? For a man who was educated at the insitutions he attended, he sure doesn’t show it. I know we are accustomed to reading his tweets, but Jesus Christ this is embarassing.

    It appears he is just dictating letters to heads of state and not even having anyone give it a once over before slapping it on the white house letterhead and sending it.

    These are the meandering thoughts of a lunatic.

    I’m sure he can find a BS excuse for doing whatever he wants even if he had got the Peace Prize e.g. “Now that I have got the prize I don’t need to think of peace anymore”.

      Have you won a Nobel? Neither have I- we both started 0 wars, and ended 0. (Score (0/0)

      Henry Kissenger got his for negotiating the end of the Vietnam war- a war he had a part in begining and maintaining. Likewise with Arafat and Rabin’s 94 award for the Oslo accords- despite being partisans. (1/1) each, arguably more for kissenger, like 20/1

      Well, DJ’s record proves it- hes ended 8+ wars! but as of the most recent award, had started 0, for a score of (0/8) And that didn’t get him a peace prize. Clearly the ONLY way to get a peace prize is to not only end wars, but to start wars so they can be ended.

      This is an oversite on his part which he is seeking to rectify in both Venezuela and Greenland, and hes notifying the government of Norway to ensure future recognition

      After all, from the committee’s perspective it makes sense; if too many people end wars they didnt start, eventually, we’ll run out of wars and then there will be no more wars for people to end, and the Nobel peace prize committee will be out of a job!

    If you don’t give me a peace prize I’m going to give you a reason to not give me a peace prize

    I’ve known six year old children to have more maturity than this. “I’m going to invade Greenland because I didn’t get a Nobel Peace Prize” is what this boils down to.

    A literal child is in charge of the most powerful single country in the world.

      Plus the fat paedo would’ve still done the exact same thing even if they ‘awarded’ it to him. It’s all distraction and projection.

    I say we invent new prizes like “Biggest dick in the universe”, “Best at doing things"you do”, “Most colourful”, etc., so we can keep giving him him awards everyday for the next few decade. Just keeping busy with shinny things.

    The fact that any person reads this letter and thinks: “Wow, he is such a good diplomat, I am glad this man is in charge!” deeply troubles me.

    This is some third grader shit.

    The fuck is the Norwegian prime minister to do with that load of shit? He’s not even on the committee.

    Apparently Trump doesn’t even know what the fuck the Nobel prize is.

      From what the various people who have explained to him how it works says, it seems that he does know.

      He just doesn’t understand why the Norwegian government won’t be corrupt and influence it, because to him that’s an obvious thing you’d do when you have power and influence.

      Remember that Trump doesn’t care about rules. He thinks that any leader has absolute power within the territory they control. So he thinks the prime minister of Norway should have personally ensured that Trump received the Nobel peace prize.

    Fucking insanity as he tries to outdo himself in being fucking outrageous EVERY DAMN DAY to the point of not only pissing off everyone, but also giving others something to be entertained about… I can only imagine the laughter coming out of Kremlin.

    Norway. The country which once managed to destroy a brand-new enemy battleship with guns and torpedoes never used in decades.

    ?? the Nobel prize is a Swedish prize? And he writes to a Norwegian politician about Greenland, belonging to Denmark? Did I get this right?

      The peace prize is awarded by a Norwegian committee, the other prizes are awarded by Swedish committees.
