By Ellie Cook: President Donald Trump has posted what appear to be private text messages from the head of NATO and France’s president to the U.S. President, shortly after Norway’s leader confirmed a leaked exchange did show tense correspondence between the Republican and NATO leaders.
Well I’m totally with Macron: I don’t get the Greenland thing either!

Here is a question. Why is Trump so obsessed with trying to get 2025’s Nobel Peace prize? Why not just do his hardest to win 2026’s Nobel Peace Prize? Unless….

Its sad.
Somewhere in whats left of his brain, TrumPedo probably thinks these messages make the French/NATO look as bad as he does for threatening to take Greenland the wrong country (Norway) because a private organization didn’t give him a shiny.

Flattery is the only way to get him to read most stuff I think.

Is this how leaders of the world communicate with each other in general, or is this how they communicate with Trump. Especially Macrons text reads like a father trying to understand why his toddler is having a melt down after having a great day.
Edit: typos and sentence structure

Trump is so pathetic. To anyone that supported him, please just call it a day already and join the rest of us in denouncing his penile envy syndrome.

Trump: “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.”
.
“A boat landed there” *500 years* before a boat landed *here.*

Do they use Signal to text each other? Cool.

Trump is treating our allies like vassals.

is Mark Rutte in love with Trump?
KopOut on
If they go with Rutte’s “strategy”, Europe is fucked.
The easiest text to send would have been. “Greenland is not available, please let us know if you have any questions.” Or, and I know this is crazy, just don’t send texts to him.

So funny how he thinks that nice word mean anything… who on this earth doesn’t know that you have to sweet talk.
First say: “I need something from you”
Second: “WTF are you doing?!”

He’s so concerned about security like the US isn’t already in charge of security in Greenland. Every time he says Russia could take it he’s saying US forces aren’t enough to deter them.

I will never understand how people continue to support this nonsense. Such a large portion of our country lives in an alternate reality fueled solely by hatred and a complete misunderstanding of how the world functions. He’s causing so much irrevocable harm to this country. No country should trust us, we’ve basically lost all the soft power and respect we had within a single year.

What gets me is the clear glazing. Like I know pedo don is a dementia addled narcissist but the amount of praise he demands has to be embarrassing on some level…

This is so embarrassing but if I’m Rutte, I don’t know what else I would do. He’s dealing with a petulant malignant narcissist with orders from Putin to dismantle NATO.

What would cause someone to post private messages from world leaders, as a world leader himself?
This is middle school-level shit

What a genius , no one will be texting this fucking idiot anymore.

It reads to me like being overly kind. They’ve learned flattery gets him. So have we. So has literally everyone. But him. And he posts these thinking it shows how everyone is praising him instead of everyone babying him.

Part of diplomacy is to be able to speak candidly and openly to other leaders. Out of the eyes of public scrutiny and party politics it will be easier to have frank discussion and ultimately, get shit done.
By betraying the trust of two politicians, Trump has further isolated himself from global diplomacy. You can’t speak to him ‘off the record’ because anything you say can be used against you.
I’m sure the private exchanges between other world leaders aren’t quite as celebratory about Trump.
It’s increasingly becoming the US vs the rest of the world. He has no allies now.

I want America to stop being an embarrassment. The only way for that to happen is to get rid of Trump, MAGA and the GOP. They continuously embarrass themselves on the world stage and even worse hurt their own citizens.

They are stuck in a relationship with an unintelligent malignant narcissistic abuser with no immediate way out. They are just throwing shit at the wall hoping to keep him from going off the rails and committing familicide.
MercuryRusing on
People surprised foreign leaders are stroking the ego of a megalomaniac to convince him not to blow the world up?
This is how I talk to toddlers, give them positive reinforcement before correcting them. It’s because Donald isn’t capable of handling criticism of any kind.
Howhytzzerr on
They are trying to mollify this addled old man, while trying to avoid an outright open conflict. Trump has no idea how badly he has hurt our standing in the world, he honestly believes he has done great things.

Disgusting to see Mark Rutte grovel to his daddy Trump like that. He’s a disgrace to NATO and the Netherlands.

Nothing says ‘diplomacy’ like turning international chats into public receipts. This isn’t leadership this is mad publicity.
