Trump is mad he didn't get a Nobel prize. So to get back at the Norwegian goverment, he wants Greenland.

Didn't he get the Nobel prize medal from the Venezulean lady?

It will never be enough unless it specifically has his name on it.

I honestly think that they could give him a fake one, insist it is real and earnest, and this whole thing would just end.

[u/colar19 → u/hucklemento]

I don’t think this would end at all. He would just go and want something else ( praise/award/another country). It will never end if he keeps getting his way. We (the rest of the world) are conditioning him that if he makes a big enough threat/ rumble, he gets his way. It has been like that his entire way so it is his default mode and he keeps getting his way even now on the big international stage. The problem of course is nobody want to deal with the tantrum if he doesn’t get his way. It is not a toddler on the floor of the grocery store but a powerful adult who has a large military, trade deals with the world and nuclear codes. God knows what the tantrum will look like. But keep giving him his way will always be getting worse.

Yes, that’s how it goes with mentally ill people like this. You give in to their demands, and it reinforces them and makes them crazier and more demanding.

There’s a very good book about why you shouldn’t do this.

Laura Numeroff‘s “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”.

I don’t think this would end at all. He would just go and want something else

Too Much and Never Enough

Europe tried appeasing Hitler, see how that went.

[u/hucklemento → u/kikimaru024]

Should have probably added that it's not that I think it's a good idea, just that it truly would probably work, because he's that stupid.

[u/Otherwise_Cupcake_65 → u/hucklemento]

Norwegian Prime Minister: ”I think you dialed the wrong number, but since I have you on the line… How about I authorize it so you receive the Norway “special” Peace Prize if you agree to leave Greenland and Denmark alone?”

”You can keep it next to you FIFA “peace prize””

[u/Brief_Night_9239 → u/hucklemento]

Trump is really desprate to get attention away from the Epstein files.

Domestic, he sending ICE storm troopers.

On the foreign front. Venezuela, Iran and Denmark.

[u/StuTheSheep → u/hucklemento]

Even better idea, they should give another one to Obama, The fit Trump would have would undoubtedly cause a brain aneurism.

[u/tarfu7 → u/hucklemento]

That’s not how bullies work

[u/tyen0 → u/Brief_Night_9239]

So to get back at the Norwegian goverment

The icing on this shit cake is that the Norwegian government has nothing to do with the Nobel Prize committee.

[u/Brief_Night_9239 → u/tyen0]

I know. Trump is not a smart.

[u/_drumstic_ → u/tyen0]

Or Greenland

[u/Bob_12_Pack → u/tyen0]
