"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 Nobel Prize. The Norwegian Nobel Committee, not the Norwegian government and certainly not the Danish government, determines the winner of that prize."

"It’s sundowning in America: A presidential mind is a dangerous thing to lose. ...

How did a great, sophisticated nation, one of the world’s longest-standing republics, end up so fragile that it can be undone by one man’s dementia?"

"Yet Trump now not only blames Norway for failing to give it to him, but is using it as a justification for an invasion of Greenland.

Think about where this is leading."

Pointing to Trump's letter to the Norwegian PM, Anne Applebaum says,

"The word 'bizarre' isn’t really sufficient to describe the strange things happening right now in Washington. ...

Years of careful diplomacy, billions of dollars in trade, are now at risk because senators and representatives who know better have refused to use the powers they have to block him. Now is the time."

"We all knew it, but in the last few days he confirmed it. He is a baby with a full diaperload."

I think it will be obvious who Weingarten means when he speaks of "he."

"Protests took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, and in Nuuk, Greenland, over the weekend. Thousands took to the streets to demonstrate against Trump’s plans to invade Greenland. Folks held signs that read 'Yankee Go Home' and 'No Annexation Without Representation,' and wore red hats that said 'Make America Go Away.'”

James Fallows offers a primer on Trump and Greenland:

1) This crisis is all coming from someone’s gut. Not from anyone’s brain.

2) The US has nothing to gain by ‘owning’ Greenland. Zero.

3) No one wants us there. Zero.

4) Greenland is smaller than you think. But the distances and remoteness are larger.

5) The whole idea of taking over Greenland would appall the founders of our country.

The graphic below, mocking Trump's susceptibility to insane ideas if a Nobel Peace Prize is dangled in front of him (and also mocking his insane jealousy of Barack Obama) is circulating on social media, and I have been unable to track its creator.

"Multi-layered 'look what you made me do' lie.

Because Norway didn’t give a him prize (it doesn’t decide winners) for ending wars (he didn’t end) the US won’t be peaceful anymore (bombing multiple countries) and will take Greenland (part of Denmark, not Norway) to stop Russia (it’d help Russia)."

"In his letter to Støre, Trump said Denmark 'cannot protect' Greenland from Russia or China, adding: '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.'”

Trump wrote the Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Støre to say,

"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."

"The Kremlin says Vladimir Putin has been invited to join Donald Trump’s proposed 'board of peace' for overseeing a Gaza ceasefire—an unconfirmed move that raises questions about the board’s purpose and reinforces criticism that Trump is favourably disposed toward Russia despite Putin continuing the war in Ukraine."

"Overnight we learned that Donald Trump sent an ominous letter to Norway suggesting war could be on the table over Greenland as he is upset that Norway did not award him the Nobel Prize."

#Merz hat Recht: Zolldrohungen untergraben die transatlant. Beziehungen u. bergen das Risiko einer Eskalation. Die sich daraus ableitende Frage ist, was 🇪🇺 u. 🇩🇪 tun, wenn #Trump auf Geheiß von #Putin genau diese Eskalation will? Dafür gibt es jedenfalls deutliche Hinweise.

In a way, #Putin even got more then he ever could wish for

All for free by #Trump

Alliances shattered, internal threats, everyone really disliking the US, speaking about war within #NATO even

It's unbelievable how much damage that senile dic(tator) has done within a year

I really hope we learn from this.. But history shown otherwise I guess
