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”
I have done more for NATO
As if it’s his money! 💰🤦
If you don’t give me a peace prize I’m going to give you a reason to not give me a peace prize
He’s acting like me when I can’t get a diplomatic win in civ 5 💀

article in English, with full letter.
Thanks, had trouble finding a good English language source at the time I posted.
Glancing over the rest of the comments, I don’t see somebody explicitly pointing out how we know Trump is full of shit and also dumb as shit in this letter.
First, he campaigned on “America First,” so he never felt an obligation to think “purely” of peace. It’s just a lie.
Second, he’s outright saying that he previously was giving the Nobel Prize committee an insane amount of control over American foreign policy because he wanted to be a Nobel Peace Prize. This is a dumb as shit thing to admit.
Third, is it Russia or China who we’re worried about taking over Greenland? Does Trump not understand that these are two different countries? Surely if he is working on some sort of intel, he’d specifically choose one of them to be worried about. I think this demonstrates that there’s no real intel about this, and he’s simply lying.
Fourth, why isn’t he waiting until Russia or China actually do something? If they actually did something militarily in Greenland, then America could swoop in and save the day. And then, he’d also have some actual reasoning behind statements that he could use to justify taking control of Greenland.
Also, NATO has done tons of stuff for the US. Why does America have the largest military budget in the world? It’s because America has chosen to maintain military presence all over the world. NATO has always supported American foreign policy.
Everything Trump is saying in this letter reeks of bullshit.
And norwegian government has no say in who gets the Nobel.
Well, sort of. Technically there are a few members of the legislature or chosen by the legislature on the Nobel committee
He only sees power. This is him saying that only Russia and China are powerful to him. Everyone else he thinks he can bully. It is insane. If he was a good politician, he could actually have open dialogue with Denmark and work together to develop resource extraction or shipping routes. But Trump has no idea of how to work with people.
He’s the attacker.
why isn’t he waiting until Russia or China actually do something?
The thing is, Russia already has done something. Trump has a mandate from the people to fuck up Russia militarily by arming Ukraine. Why he chooses to not do this, while making statements about Russia taking land, is maddening.
8 Wars PLUS
I’m not sure it’s even possible for me to cringe harder at this point
That sounds a lot like a manipulative abusive husband. Oh wait he literally is.
for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS,
So…9? Is 9 the number you were looking for? Maybe 10? I assume this is based on him starting a war and bumbling it back out of a war between the time this was sent and received.
Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China,
Yeah, if only there was some sort of military force treaty organization that covered the North Atlantic so friends could help friends.
I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding,
Comedic line of the decade
The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.
lol, sorry, no, this is the comedic line of the decade.
The administration is still in violation of the law releasing the Epstein files.
You know, I’ve been thinking all this time that things won’t get better if someone kills this guy. I changed my mind, Iran, please do your thing instead of just writing threats…
Denmark, any NATO members, whoever wants to… Might win a Nobel Peace prize
A large part of the power comes from the cult of personality, they don’t have someone they can just swap in.
That and he’s surrounded himself with people who all think they’re gonna be the one who comes out on top when he’s gone. They’re probably most likely to blow up very publicly and eat each other rather than actually succeed.
…oh, that is definitely going to be a 3 buckets of popcorn show…
…bring plenty of butter and salt.
Even if it doesn’t get better in a global sense, I’ll still feel quite happy that day.
I’m gonna go against the grain and say no, it would in fact be bad for everyone involved if someone killed Trump. Trump is evil, sure, but he’s also stupid and there are plenty of non-stupid evil people who would want to take his place. Or, now that I think about it, it might good for Iran, but it’d definitely be terrible for everyone else.
Quick someone tell him no other president in history has ever immolated themselves. We might get lucky.
LOL! I like your thinking!
If he can’t have peace (which he has never sought), war it is! Transparent all the way. Guy’s a piece of shit.
Okay but why print his drunken texts? They mean nothing.
It’s just embarrassing for everyone involved.
That’s why. Legitimacy must continue to be eroded.
Comical levels of stupidity aside, this message worries me. It really sounds like Trump is trying to justify being about to start a war to someone who he thinks is responsible for issuing out Nobel prizes.
Every single 12 year old I know is more emotionally mature than the US president and it isn’t even close.
