    I am pretty sure Scalzi’s trigger this morning is the letter to Norway, but it feels like a permanent and blanket statement for this administration.

        Oh jeeesus

        Does he know that the Norway doesn’t control the Nobel board?

        Also Fuck Trump and this stupid letter. What has he done for NATO except extortion and existential crises? It used to be an effective tool until he got involved.

          He wants to punish us for not being corrupt enough. Hope this is a clear sign for everyone here to deinvest away from anything US, as that is the only language the orange dumbbell speaks.

          Trump is a cult leader; it doesn’t really matter whether what he says makes any logical sense or not. It only matters that his brainwashed followers like, believe, and/or get behind whatever ridiculous thing he’s planning to do next

        Nah the nobel peace prize is from a norwegian committee. The others are indeed swedish

        Edit: It’s still stupid because it’s not the norwegian government that awards the prize

            Nah, you’re not dumb, you just didn’t know!

            Here’s some history for you: When the Nobel Prize was created, Norway was in a union with Sweden. Seeing as Norway didn’t have any direct diplomatic relations, they were chosen to handle the diplomatically sensitive Peace Prize while the Swedes handled the rest.

      Holy shit, that doesn’t read as bad president, that reads as mentally ill.

      Also when I mentioned trump’s letter to my mom, she confusedly asked “he can write?”

        Still have it in my clipboard…

        “Dear Jonas,” the president wrote to Norway’s prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre. “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.”

          This seriously makes me speechless. Just speechless… I, I don’t have words to describe this orange turds stupidity. Or mental illness. It’s out of this reality.
