What did Donald Trump do on Martin Luther King Day?
Donald Trump is absolutely losing it this morning on Martin Luther King Day. No Martin Luther King proclamation, by the way, from Donald, but instead a different type of proclamation. We're learning that he sent a text message to the Norwegian prime minister threatening Norway for not supporting the United States invasion of Greenland. This is real.
What controversial proclamation did Trump issue instead of honoring MLK?
It is so utterly insane, even for Donald Trump, that people were like, can you please verify this? Well, we've received verification from the Norwegian prime minister, from Finland's prime minister. This is absolutely real. Here's what Donald Trump wrote. Dear Jonas, that's the prime minister of Norway. Considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Prize for having stopped eight 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.
How did Trump's message to Norway impact international relations?
Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a right of ownership anyway? There are no written documents. It's only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now NATO should do something for the United States. The world is not secure unless we have complete and total control of Greenland." Thank you, President DJT. So Donald Trump sent that in a text message to the prime minister of Norway. And then Donald Trump also wrote to all of the European ambassadors. And he had his national security committee send this to all the European ambassadors and say, Dear Ambassador, President Trump has asked the following message shared with Prime Minister Jonas Garstor be forwarded to...
And then it has their name and their government's name right there. Now, again, as Donald Trump says, first off, like, why are you attacking Norway for the Nobel Peace Prize? The Nobel Peace Prize is an independent committee that happens to be in Norway. And then everything that Donald Trump says is just like absolutely false. And then he's going to say, well, we're doing this to stop Russia. Well, this morning, again, on Martin Luther King Day, where Donald Trump did not issue any proclamation recognizing Russia Martin Luther King's accomplishments or anything about today's holiday. It's the first time in 40 plus years where a president did not acknowledge the day. Here is what Donald Trump instead did do a proclamation.
Donald Trump invited the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, and the Belarusian president, Alexander Lukashenko, to join his so-called board of peace to argue oversee Gaza and other areas. So what Donald Trump is doing is he's saying, if you give Donald Trump a billion dollars, you get to join the board of peace, which it's not just about Gaza. It's also about Donald Trump saying that he's going to create another institution other than the United Nations. And he wants Russia to be a major part of it. Russia and Belarus joining Donald Trump's Board of Peace. And this has been confirmed by all the Putin's people. We have the letter that Donald Trump sent to Lukashenko right here. And you give Donald Trump a billion dollars.
What was Trump's stance on Greenland and its geopolitical significance?
He takes your billion dollars and he puts it into a Qatari account. That's where all this oil money apparently from Venezuela is going, not to the United States Treasury, but to an account in Qatar. And that's how Donald Trump is spending his morning. We then found out from the prime minister of Norway, what this was all about as well. The prime minister of Norway says, I can confirm that this is a text message that I received yesterday afternoon from Donald Trump. It came in response to a short text message from me to Donald Trump sent earlier on the same day on behalf of myself and the president of Finland, Alexander Stubb. In our message to Trump, we conveyed our position to his announced tariff increases
against Norway, Finland, and a select other countries, we pointed to the need to deescalate.
