"Donald Trump's lesbian and clinical psychologist niece, Mary Trump, described how her uncle was "humiliated" on the world stage this week after all of his saber-rattling about Greenland ended with just "a framework of a future deal" on the subject. She then tied his belligerent behavior from this past week to his childhood, where he was taught that "life is a zero-sum game: there can only be one winner, only one person on top.""
"World leaders feared that he would invade Greenland, ending the alliance between Western Europe and North America that helped create peace between those nations in the decades since World War II. But after pushing for the U.S. acquisition of Greenland and finding out that no one liked the idea - not even his Republican base - Donald Trump backed off this week."
Donald Trump escalated threats to acquire Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, prompting fears of invasion and strain on NATO ties. Global leaders worried that an attempt to seize Greenland could undermine the Western alliance that helped maintain peace after World War II. The acquisition effort was abandoned following widespread opposition, including within his own party, and was reduced to only a "framework of a future deal" without U.S. ownership. A long speech at the World Economic Forum featured personal grievances, geographic confusion, and expressions of contempt for NATO and a sense of being owed, raising concerns about leadership fitness.
