  1. His brain is fried. If Republicans had any spine or principles they would have replaced him by now.

  2. I guess… republicans love losing money, having secret police and world war 3? so much for America First

  3. “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”

    The orange pig continues to fail to grasp that the Norwegian government has nothing to do with the awarding of the Nobel Prize

    The orange pig ignores the fact that NATO protects Greenland

    The orange pig claims American boats landed there hundreds of years ago? When? Greenland has been settled for over a thousand years

    When are Republicans going to finally put a stop to this idiocy

  4. You know, this is so f***ing stupid and illogical, my head is starting to hurt from trying to figure this out.

    I bet you someone could call him a moron to his face and he’d start talking about Mormons.

  6. From the article:

    Stock markets went into a global selloff this morning as world leaders at Davos woke up to news that Trump had texted the prime minister of Norway to say that his repeated threats to take over Greenland were based on the fact that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize.

    “Considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize… I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace,” Trump wrote to Norwegian prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre.

    The Norwegian government has no control over how the Nobel Committee awards its prizes. Greenland is a territory of Denmark, not Norway.

    Traders, dismayed at the prospect of renewed trade war between the U.S. and Europe, reacted by driving down equities all over the world.

  7. So his argument is..

    “I didn’t get the peace prize so I’m going to start a war to get revenge”

    Did I get that right?

    He clearly doesn’t know how to deal with people. We’re seeing the worst president in US history. What a mess.

    Trump is mad he didn’t get a Nobel prize. So to get back at the Norwegian goverment, he wants Greenland.

    Didn’t he get the Nobel prize medal from the Venezulean lady?

  10. The US was already allowed to put bases on Greenland and use the waters around it. This isn’t about security. It’s about theft.

    Epstein files. Remember the White House. Might doesn’t make right. ICE murdered Good. Demand due process. No kings!

  11. This might be a sign trump is being manipulated. There are very powerful people backing trump that want greenland. But he himself is too enthusiastic about this. We know trump is fueled by EGO and what happaned in venezuela super charged him. Now he wants to take more like dopamine hit. to distract from epstein.

    But I feel like someone is pushing him towards greenland and have tied the noble peace prize to it. Peter Thiel is going over time on donald.

  12. Wonder if Ms Kirk and couchman are letting him go more free reign in order to pull him from his seat and replace him.

  13. If us stocks follow Europe your looking at 1 to 1.5 percent drop hope a 600 plus drop in the markets was worth it my 401k is loving this stupidity

  14. He’s a stupid and poor person’s idea of a rich genius. Sadly, the first half of that sentence describes the millions that voted for him.

  15. The guy who purposefully changed the name to the “department of war” doesn’t get his peace prize?

  16. Geography was never his strongest subject, closely followed by every other subject except Grifting for Dummies.

    Nobel Peace Prize non-winner completely validates committee’s decision to not award Peace Prize.

    You have to laugh at some point.

    My toddler recently got into geography and maps, and can name like 90% of the countries of the world and their flags and find them on a map.

    So basically he’s more intelligent than the president.

    Release the Epstein files.

  19. If he doesn’t know the difference between Norway and Denmark he is… Oh forget it. We’re fucked until the midterms.

  20. What’s hilarious is over the weekend the right wing tied itself in knots in wanting and boosting stories about these other reasons because Denmark is abusing and torturing the people of Greenland.  I figured the other shoe is about to drop, and yep, he created a tantrum letter.  

  21. The whole world has to suffer because some Republican cucks in Congress refuse to impeach and remove this man.

  22. It took this idiocy to awaken the world to the absolute stupidity of the leader of the free world?

  23. He got the idea from Kidrock writing hate mail to the Governor of Ohio over not being in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

  24. Absolute worst personality to have ever been president.

    We thought it wouldn’t get dumber than Bush.

    I *pray* we never get dumber than Trump.

  25. Flames_go_Higher on

    He is objectively unfit to serve as president any longer.  His mental decline is undeniable.  He must be removed from office.

  26. You’d have to be completely lacking any ethics, morals, or basic human decency to continue to support the felon in the White House. He’s insane and he’s followed and supported by millions of insane Americans who have been systematically programmed to reject reality, facts, logic, and reason.

  27. Holy shit that headline hurt my brain. What a stupid, stupid, absolutely stupid fucking timeline we are in. What in the actual fuck.
