"President Donald Trump's late-night Truth Social posting spree on Tuesday -doubling down on his Greenland ambitions and threatening any who try to get in his way-also included a flurry of leaked texts from the leaders of NATO, France, Finland, and Norway. TL;DR: French President Emmanuel Macron invited him to dinner in Paris. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte "can't wait" to see him. America is threatening to take over Greenland."
"Posted on Truth Social, Trump apparently leaked a private text from the French President: "My friend, We are totally in line on Syria. We can do great things on Iran. I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland," the message from Macron appeared to read. Social media users were quick to share their thoughts on the text exchange-not so much the threat to blow apart the alliance that has underpinned Western security for decades, but the fact that matters of diplomacy are conducted over iMessage."
""I honestly love this for reasons I cannot articulate," one X user wrote, alongside a screenshot of the messages. They continued in a follow-up post: "you can imagine Trump getting *so many texts like this*". An edited screenshot of the original conversation read: "we are totally in line on real estate. We can do great things on reality television. I do not understand what you are doing running for president.""
President Donald Trump posted late-night messages on Truth Social that reiterated interest in Greenland and warned those who oppose him. The posts included leaked private texts attributed to leaders from NATO, France, Finland, and Norway. A message attributed to French President Emmanuel Macron expressed alignment on Syria and Iran while questioning the Greenland plans. Social media users focused on the informality of diplomatic communication over iMessage and reacted with humor and edited screenshots. One user mocked the texts by recasting them as comments about real estate and reality television, and another highlighted the everyday nature of the exchanges.
