"Donald Trump's latest attempt to insert himself into world affairs wasn't a diplomatic initiative or a peace process. It was a lust to take over , a sovereign territory, as though it were a distressed hotel property in Saudi Arabia he could slap his name on and call it a win. That Nobel, like everything else, exemplifies Trump's lust for more, more, and more."
"For the grabby, greedy, and gluttonous Donald Trump, his first year in office validated that for him, one is never enough. Not one dollar. Not one compliment. Not one building. And now, apparently, not one country. Trump has begun speaking about the world the way he has always spoken about everything else in his life: as something to be taken, branded, consumed, and dominated. Greenland is not an ally or a people or a place with history and sovereignty. It is a gold trophy he wants to hang on the wall of the Oval Office."
"Trump wobbles through life like a spoiled child on Christmas morning, staring at a tree full of presents and raging that his name isn't written on every single box. So he does what he has always done. He rips off the tags, scrawls his name in black Sharpie, and declares that everything in sight belongs to him."
Donald Trump's interest in Greenland is framed as an attempt to seize a sovereign territory as if it were private property to brand and own. He linked personal recognition, including a Nobel Prize, to his valuation of peace and prestige. His first year in office is described as demonstrating relentless appetite for more money, praise, buildings, and now nations. He speaks about the world in terms of consumption and domination, treating peoples and places as trophies. His behavior is portrayed as repetitive, childlike, and bordering on pathological, driven by a desire for excess rather than achievement.
