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”

    Maybe he should win the first Inverse Peace Prize. We can call it the Hitler Prize.
    I’m not sure what the winner will receive though

      The only correct response is “WE DON’T NEGOTIATE WITH PEDOPHILES”, then refuse all communications with the Trump admin entirely.

      But all our political classes are oligarch-bootlickers who grovel at the feet of capital, so they’ll continue to protect and defend nazis, pedophiles, psychopaths, narcissists, and authoritarianism — allow their continued infiltration and corruption of our democracies — in general, on behalf of 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 a big club, and we ain’t in it.

        I think the problem is that Europe currently does not have the manpower to defend against an american invasion, especially since Greenland is easier for them to reach than for us. Refusing communication with that manchild might tempt it to do something aggressive faster.

            The american people, no. But american military is drilled into subservience, it’s basically brain washing. They will absolutely commit any attack the top general commands, which, in america, is the president, so trump himself.

            Like, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that all of them are goign to be fine with it, some might question it. But refusing to follow an order carries severe consequences. I checked out the “laws” for that (https://govfacts.org/government/federal/agencies/defense/understanding-the-uniform-code-of-military-justice-ucmj/) and from what I can understand by this massive wall of text: It’s not unlikely that, by refusing a command to attack, you’ll probably get court-martialed and then discharged from the army and lose all pay and benefits - and that means your life is essentially over in a land like murica where social security doesn’t exist.

            Most probably know that so they will rather follow the order than have their life ruined.

      Um… it might surprise you but there are, in fact, things that are more important than the Epstein files. Nothing is going to come out of the Epstein files; everyone who cares about the truth already knows Trump is a pedophile.

        I’m sorry you feel so defeatist.

        I agree there are more important things than the Files. That doesn’t mean we should not try to get them out by all means necessary.

        I would wager the millions of misguided and mislead MAGA voters, actually got sucked into that movement in part because they wanted that ‘truth’, and I’d wager they don’t yet know.

        I don’t post these to minimise the other grave and important things that are happening.

        It is a distraction reminder for us that all this (real and harmful) commotion is being used to divert attention from his own criminality, and his attempt to cover for the pedophile cabal of the world. This is why he is there. This is what he is really good at.

        Until we learn to drive our own agenda (back in the day, we used to have real journalists driving ‘gates’ like Watergate, which terminated a presidency) and stop taking the bait, nothing will change.

        All we have as outsiders is a little bit of online pressure to the lawmakers in the states. Each time one of these egregious acts of him get us outraged, we have spent that energy and can’t use it for a common goal so great that if we were successful, it would not just be the end of him, his sycophants, but the entire US-zionist-billionaire cult and royal families in Europe.

        This is the one card that topples their entire house, that keeps them blackmailed, and stops a former formidable force like the UK to even say one peep about Maduro being kidnapped.

        He swears at a random labourer who calls him a pedophile protector. And flips him off. He can’t stand this. It is really bad, and he knows he is done when it gets out, which is why it must come out. It is bigger than him, it goes to the Supreme Court, members of congress, billionaires, and parts of the royal families of Europe, and of course Israel. I am convinced it will come out, I’m less sure if he will live to see that day.

        Because it will be. And he won’t. He’s not the top of the food chain, he has his handlers to answer to.

        Donald is hit and run. Hit, run and humiliate. That’s all. He creates a show to distract from his failures.

      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.

      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’d might good for Iran, but it’d definitely be terrible for everyone else.

    After the child rapist in chief is dead (hopefully, soon), does anyone in that shit country expect we take them seriously when they talk to the world after the complete shitshow Mango Hitler is doing?

    I mean, this is something I expect from a toddler that has zero negotiation skills but not from the fucking president of a superpower.

    If he was the president of a less armed country, the world would be laughing at him openly

      As someone (unfortunately) in the US, I fully expect the reputation of the US to be ruined for the rest of my life. I’m lucky to be in a decently progressive (by US standards) state, but I really would rather be anywhere but here in the US. We are fucked.

        If it’s any consolation, Afghan, Iraq, Guantanamo and torture already meant the US was considered a turd world country. The only difference is Americans are now seeing what we’ve known for decades.

          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.

          I’ve been painfully aware my entire life, not to worry. It’s just that there is no repairing it now, not in my lifetime. There may have been a slim chance of getting closer with our allies before a third of the country voted the dumbass in chief into office, but not anymore.

                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 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.

      While I agree with the general sentiment, he was already in office for four during his first term, and we are at the end of the first year of his second term. So 5 out of 8 years down.

        There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that the fascists would just hand over the presidency at the end of his term. They have near complete control over the executive and judicial branches of government with their own gestapo at their disposal. The only place Trump is going to go is 6 feet underground and, in that case, they’ll just pick another obedient successor.

        Yeah, but it is getting progressively worse as he gains in confidence and arrogance, because he has found out he can now literally carry out every little whim that comes to him without any hindrance.

        His first 4 years were bad, no doubt about it, but the fucker actually held back on his insanity, he doesn’t do that anymore, and now he has a bunch of equally unhinged billionaires urging him along.
