This was on the front page of the Washington Post this morning. Apparently our president really has lost his mind.
Here is the message he sent. This should be the first exhibit in a case for the 25th Amendment removal from office.
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”
The US bought the Danish West Indies during 1916. The two sides agreed to a sale price of $25,000,000. As part of the sale, the United States accepted a Danish demand for a declaration stating that they would "not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland". Although the US had a claim on northern Greenland based on explorations by Charles Francis Hall and Robert Peary, the United States decided that the purchase was more important, especially because of the nearby Panama Canal. Historian Bo Lidegaard questions the utility of such a declaration, as the country had never disputed Danish sovereignty.
Denmark is not going to Davos. I guess they've had enough of 47, and are taking some time away from him.
shame on Norway- they. should have known that Diaper Donny certainly deserved said shiny object . Preventing 8+ wars, for godsake!
ReplyDeleteMy family in Norway must be in stitches over this! I have not heard from them in over a year- maybe they think we can do something about this madness? Like, you know...vote (?) write letters and make phone calls(?) The thin veneer of democracy that held this country together, broken by Mr. Stinky pants in such a seemingly short time. More fragile than we reckoned.
I honestly thought it had to be a joke. The fact that it wasn't will never not be embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteOne can hope that this is the one time the military leaders refuse to obey an unlawful order when dipshit orange man orders the military to invade our NATO allies in Greenland. We are living in an alternate universe.

DeleteTrump's Davos speech was completely unhinged, as I'm sure you've read. He apparently can't remember the difference between Greenland and Iceland, among other things. I kept telling Dave as I read the story, "This guy really HAS lost his mind."
