America, this is your insane president

Also, very disrespectful to the Prime Minister to address the letter "Dear Jonas".  

Trump has no leverage over the Committee, though.  And I do hope the Prime Minister responded to "Donald".

 

Thousands of demonstrators gathered across Denmark and Greenland Saturday to protest President Donald Trump’s controversial demand to seize the Arctic island.

[...]

An estimated 10,000 Danes gathered at Copenhagen’s City Hall Square to push back against Trump’s threats, with many people in the crowd donning parody hats mimicking Trump’s signature, bright-red MAGA cap that instead reads “Make America Go Away.”

The caps also read “Nu det NUUK,” a play on Greenland’s capital, Nuuk, and means “Now it’s enough.” On the side of the cap is the Greenland flag and the country’s own spin on the MAGA slogan.

The caps have become so popular they’re reportedly sold out in Denmark.

Rallies were also held across the Danish realm, as well as in the capital of the Inuit-governed territory of Nunavut in Canada’s far north.

"We're respected again." -- DJ Trump

UPDATE 01/20/2026:

One could observe many things about this document. One is the childish grammar, including the strange capitalizations (“Complete and Total Control”). Another is the loose grasp of history. Donald Trump did not end eight wars. Greenland has been Danish territory for centuries. Its residents are Danish citizens who vote in Danish elections. There are many “written documents” establishing Danish sovereignty in Greenland, including some signed by the United States. In his second term, Trump has done nothing for NATO—an organization that the U.S. created and theoretically leads, and that has only ever been used in defense of American interests. If the European members of NATO have begun spending more on their own defense (budgets to which the U.S. never contributed), that’s because of the threat they feel from Russia.

And perhaps the foresight to realize a possible - perhaps probable - U.S. defection.

Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize. [...] Trump now not only blames Norway for failing to give it to him, but is using it as a justification for an invasion of Greenland.

[...]

The people around Trump could find ways to stop him, as some did in his first term, but they seem too corrupt or too power-hungry to try. That leaves Republicans in Congress as the last barrier. They owe it to the American people, and to the world, to stop Trump from acting out his fantasy in Greenland and doing permanent damage to American interests. He is at risk of alienating friends in not only Europe but also India, whose leader he also snubbed for failing to nominate him for a Nobel Prize, as well as South Korea, Japan, Australia. Years of careful diplomacy, billions of dollars in trade, are now at risk because senators and representatives who know better have refused to use the powers they have to block him.

I'm afraid we cannot pin our hopes on Republicans in Congress. Nor, actually, even Democrats.
