You didn’t give ME my Nobel Peace Prize, so I’m going to kick and cry and tax you.
Trump ties failure to win Nobel Peace Prize to efforts to acquire Greenland
Story by Ivana Kottasová, Christian Edwards, CNN
US President Donald Trump told Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre that he no longer feels bound “to think purely of Peace” because the Norwegian Nobel Committee did not award him the Nobel Peace Prize.
In an extraordinary text message to Støre, first reported by PBS and confirmed by an official in the Norwegian prime minister’s office, Trump linked his repeated threats to seize control of Greenland to the fact that he has not been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, which he has long coveted.
“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,” Trump wrote.
Støre said he received the message in reply to a text he and Finnish President Alexander Stubb sent Trump, in which the Nordic leaders “conveyed our opposition to his announced tariff increases against Norway, Finland and select other countries.”
He said in a statement that he has “clearly explained, including Trump what is well known, the (Nobel Peace) prize is awarded by an independent Nobel Committee and not the Norwegian Government.”
Trump’s missive came after he threatened to impose an additional 10% tariff on goods from several European countries over their opposition to his plan to acquire Greenland, an autonomous part of Denmark, a fellow NATO member, from February 1. Trump’s threats have rattled NATO as the alliance based on collective defense confronts the prospect that one member might use force against another.
“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,” Trump said in his message.
Greenland, a vast Arctic island, was incorporated into Denmark in 1953 as part of global decolonization movements in the wake of World War II. It is self-governing, but its defense, security and monetary policy are still controlled by Denmark.
“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,” Trump said in his note to Støre.
See, it’s like this: Before he demanded, but didn’t receive or earn the medalion, Trump was “thinking purely of peace.” But now, he will begin to think of America, not of peace
Donald Trump gives himself the coveted DUMMAGA AWARD, given each year to the person or otherwise who has achieved the most egomaniacal stupidity and thoughtless cruelty on the job.
If you understand Trump’s lies and logic, you qualify for the DUMBMAGA award, the first of which will go to Trump himself, who loves to receive awards and who deserves it the most.
Although the US has been the bedrock of Euro-Atlantic security for decades, and spent far more on defense in that period than any other NATO member, many NATO allies participated in recent US wars. Forty-three Danes died fighting in Afghanistan following the 2001 invasion.

At a news conference in London, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stressed that Denmark is a “close ally” of the United Kingdom and the US, and “a proud NATO member that has stood shoulder to shoulder with us, including at real human cost.”
If you know anyone else who has earned the Dumbmaga award, please feel free to copy this on a plain sheet of paper and give it to them.
They will be thrilled, and may even send a letter of thanks to Norway.
This is dumb, even for Trump. Threatening our allies to give us their territory because we want it means we have no allies.
Trump warns allies over Greenland President signals use of tariffs against nations that oppose US action By Daniel Niemann and Darlene Superville Associated Press
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — President Donald Trump suggested Friday that he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the U.S. controlling Greenland, a message that came as a bipartisan congressional delegation sought to lower tensions in the Danish capital.
I knew we should back Trump. He’s our best weapon, ever.
Trump for months has insisted that the U.S. should control Greenland, a semiautonomousterritory of NATO ally Denmark, and said earlier this week that anything less than the Arctic island being in U.S. hands would be “unacceptable.”
During an unrelated event at the White House about rural health care, he recounted Friday how he had threatened European allies with tariffs on pharmaceuticals.
“I may do that for Greenland too,” Trump said. “I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland because we need Greenland for national security. So I may do that,” he said.
Putin and Xi must be having champagne toasts. What kind of renegade nation has this traitorous, psychopathic fool turned us into? Is there anyone left in the Republican Party who has the moral courage to say, “Enough is enough?”
Even the corrupt Supreme Court must wonder what kind of Frankenstein monster they have created with their pusillanimous rulings.
As for our former allies, I suspect they now have learned that if you feed a rat, the rat will keep coming back for more and more and more. Those nations that caved to Trump’s previous tariff threats are now seeing the same threats.
So, what did they gain by caving? And what have Americans gained, except higher prices?
The Kennedy Center became the Trump-Kennedy Center. So, expect Greenland to become “Trumpland.” Hey, let’s go all the way, MAGAs and call it the United States of Trump and rename all the streets “Trump Blvd.,” “Trump Ave.,” “Trump Street,” and “Trump Alley.”
I’ll end this post now, because I need to take a Trump in the Trumper.
The single strongest emotion humans have is fear. It is the ultimate survival emotion because of its power to remove us from danger.
Hatred survives in human evolution because it devolves from fear. You cannot hate without fear.If your father hated blacks (or Jews, Catholics, etc., etc.), it’s because he feared them.
I hate Trump’s bigot party, the MAGAs, because I fear them. I fear what they did on 1/6; I fear what they are doing to us now, and what they could do in the future.
But, Judy, they hate you and me because they fear us. They fear that we expose their cowardice, their dishonesty, their meaningless lives. They fear being discovered as weaklings and frauds who hide their impotency behind Trump’s bluster.
Trump, too, fears us, which is why he wishes to eliminate us. He, too, fears being revealed as a simpering, whimpering cartoon character, whose own father belittled him as a fool and a weakling.
Trump boasts so much to avoid being shown as small. He lies incessantly because the truth diminishes him.
He insults anyone who does not praise him because, deep down, he fears that the only way he can succeed is by stepping on the bodies of those who have not had the advantages he has had in life.
Trump’s repeated attacks on women reveal a coward in need of victims to prove his false claims of strength.
He reportedly has said, while in a military cemetery, the words of a coward, “Why do you people all say that these guys (soldiers) who get wounded or killed are heroes? They’re suckers for going in the first place, and they’re losers.” and “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”
As for immigrants, remember this: Picking on helpless people who only are trying to improve their lives is not a sign of strength. It’s a sign of weakness and cowardice.
His massive cruelty toward immigrants is a classic symptom of his weakness. The abject fealty of his MAGA followers is the classic symptom of their inferior ability, morality, honesty, and courage — their need to have a protector who will excuse their personal failures.
Behind Trump’s bluster lies a cringing coward with fake heel spurs. His bluster attracts the cowardly, like-minded Republican Party and the pitiful MAGAs.
He surrounds himself with ignorant people, who lack relevant experience, and whose sole attribute is to fawn and grovel, boosting Trump’s fragile ego: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.(controversial views are far outside mainstream public health); Pete Hegseth (no traditional defense management experience); Tulsi Gabbard (history of praising our enemies, controversial figures and unorthodox foreign policy views); Matt Gaetz (proven liar on many counts); Kash Patel(lack of traditional law enforcement experience prior} Linda McMahon (no professional background in education policy)
Opinion commentators have even labeled Trump’s overall cabinet, including Kennedy, among the worst in U.S. history.
Longtime Fox News anchor Shepard Smith has openly said that the opinion side of Fox’s programming is “strictly to be entertaining” and doesn’t follow journalistic rules like straight news reporting. In other words, they can lie like dogs, and if people are foolish enough to believe their lies, it’s what Trump wants.
If you wonder why Trump pardoned every 1/6 traitor who tried to overthrow the U.S. government, wonder no more. Birds of a feather flock together.
Bigots flock with bigots. Criminals flock with criminals. Cowards flock with cowards. Traitors flock with traitors. And bigot Trump and his MAGAs flock with other bigoted liars.
We only can pray that before the next elections, the cowards in America have the minority voices.
Because you didn’t sign up to be in law enforcement across America, but rather to protect us at the border, you probably haven’t been trained in standard police work.
Here are three valuable pieces of advice about what to do if you believe a car is going to hit you: Use whatever time you have to step out of the way.
Don’t waste time shooting the driver. You probably won’t hit the driver, but whether you hit the driver or not, the car will keep going and run you over.
Even if the driver is already dead, that won’t keep the car from hitting you. Every trained police officer knows it.
But if you’re really pissed off, just keep on pumping shot after shot, which will do nothing to save you, and could kill an innocent young person. (or has your training taught you that the penalty for not obeying your commands is death?)
By the way, in most jurisdictions, it’s illegal to fire a gun into a moving car, but if the President has told you he’ll pardon you no matter what you do, like he did with the 1/6 rioters, why care about little things like lives and legality?
2. It’s OK to destroy the lives of immigrant families, but don’t do it to Americans. Some bleeding hearts might object.
3. Don’t tell a person to leave while you stand in front of their car.
