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 only correct response is "WE DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH PEDOPHILES", then refuse all communications with the Trump regime. Narcissists are empowered with attention and recognition, so deny them both. Trump and the entire Republican Nazi party will never relinquish power, and will not be neutralised without violence. The Democrat parties majority are financed by the exact same criminally corrupt psychopath elite; they did not release the files either, to protect their wealthy pedophile donors. They are a controlled opposition who have consistently blocked or delayed legitimate progress whenever they've had full control.

    The goal should be to implode America's domestic economy ASAP so the average American suffers the consequences of their own ignorant imperial boomerang and, hopefully, does something about it; containing future violence within US borders. Isolate them and let them deal with the consequences while their cancerous influence is purged from our own economies and politics.

    But... all our political classes are also oligarch-financed-bootlickers who grovel at the feet of capital, so they'll continue to protect and defend nazis, pedophiles, psychopaths, narcissists, and authoritarianism, in general— allow their continued corporate-oligarch infiltration and corruption of our democracies — on behalf of their own greed and egomania in service to the almighty dollar.

    I have zero doubt multiple EU members have copies of the files, and have known Trump is an intelligence-protected pedo for longer than he's been politically relevant. Late stage capitalist oligarchy is one big club of unlimited greed and narcissism, and we ain't in it.

    Have you won a Nobel? Neither have I- we both started 0 wars, and ended 0. (Score (0/0)

    Henry Kissenger got his for negotiating the end of the Vietnam war- a war he had a part in begining and maintaining. Likewise with Arafat and Rabin's 94 award for the Oslo accords- despite being partisans. (1/1) each, arguably more for kissenger, like 20/1

    Well, DJ's record proves it- hes ended 8+ wars! but as of the most recent award, had started 0, for a score of (0/8) And that didn't get him a peace prize. Clearly the ONLY way to get a peace prize is to not only end wars, but to start wars so they can be ended.

    This is an oversite on his part which he is seeking to rectify in both Venezuela and Greenland, and hes notifying the government of Norway to ensure future recognition

    After all, from the committee's perspective it makes sense; if too many people end wars they didnt start, eventually, we'll run out of wars and then there will be no more wars for people to end, and the Nobel peace prize committee will be out of a job!

    I've known six year old children to have more maturity than this. "I'm going to invade Greenland because I didn't get a Nobel Peace Prize" is what this boils down to.

    Remember that Trump doesn't care about rules. He thinks that any leader has absolute power within the territory they control. So he thinks the prime minister of Norway should have personally ensured that Trump received the Nobel peace prize.

    Aside from the horrible implications of this letter. Can we address his writing style? For a man who was educated at the insitutions he attended, he sure doesn't show it. I know we are accustomed to reading his tweets, but Jesus Christ this is embarassing.

    It appears he is just dictating letters to heads of state and not even having anyone give it a once over before slapping it on the white house letterhead and sending it.

    These are the meandering thoughts of a lunatic.

    His latest addition to his list of wars "ended" is the two-year conflict between Israel and Hamas.

    The other seven were between Israel and Iran, Pakistan and India, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Thailand and Cambodia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo.

    Most of these were few day long conflicts. Egypt and Ethiopia were not in war, they had decate long disagreement about a damn, and USA helped to mediate it. By my understandment Trump was not even part of the mediation.

    Also if these count then he should say he has ended 9 wars because the military situation in Venezuela ended in few hours.

    Trump saying he stopped wars is like me saying i saved a childs live today when i decited to not kill them.

    Well I’m more optimistic. It is NOT too late to do something. It is not too late for the American citizens to show the rest of the world that they do not want World War 3, that they do know right from wrong, and that they aren’t too selfish and cowardly to do something about it.

    I won't say it's impossible, but as someone in the country, it's doubtful. We are a country built and operated on corruption and greed. It will take millions of American citizens to rise up, and kick the oligarchs to the curb. I'm afraid my fellow citizens are far too comfortable at the moment to actually take action. Minneapolis has given me a bit of hope, but until it's in every city for weeks at a time, I'm afraid nothing will change.

    Oh, I've known that we were a shithole. But I had a tiny, miniscule amount of hope that we could pull out of it in my lifetime, at least when I was a teenager and young adult. Now, I have no hope. There's no coming back from this, at least not as the USA. Maybe if we balkanize, but that's unlikely to happen because of our oligarchs.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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,

    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.
