"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,"
"One is the childish grammar, including the strange capitalizations ("Complete and Total Control"). Another is the loose grasp of history. Trump did not end eight wars. Greenland has been Danish territory for centuries. Its residents are Danish citizens who vote in Danish elections. There are many "written documents" establishing Danish sovereignty in Greenland, including some signed by the United States."
A presidential letter to Norway's prime minister called for U.S. control of Greenland, questioned Danish sovereignty, and claimed credit for ending eight wars and exceptional contributions to NATO. The letter argued Denmark cannot defend Greenland from Russia or China and questioned historical Danish ownership by downplaying written claims. Critical commentary identified childish grammar, odd capitalizations, and factual errors, noting Greenland's long-standing Danish status, residents' Danish citizenship and voting rights, and existing documents—some signed by the United States—establishing Danish sovereignty. The commentary also disputed the claim of extraordinary U.S. NATO contributions.
