    The Norwegian leader said Trump’s message was a reply to an earlier missive sent on behalf of himself and Finnish President Alexander Stubb, in which they conveyed their opposition to the tariff announcement, pointed to a need to de-escalate, and proposed a telephone conversation among the three leaders.

    “Norway’s position on Greenland is clear. Greenland is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and Norway fully supports the Kingdom of Denmark on this matter,” the Norwegian leader said in a statement. “As regards the Nobel Peace Prize, I have clearly explained, including to President Trump what is well known, the prize is awarded by an independent Nobel Committee and not the Norwegian Government.”

    So this wasn’t even just a random letter. This was written as a reply to having already had his dumbshittery explained to him clearly. He just flat out doesn’t listen to people at all and/or has a five year olds understanding of government where he thinks “leader” means “unilateral control of every choice made by every individual or group in the country.” It’s one thing to have this out of nowhere, it’s another for the Prime Minister to have already fucking explained to him that he has no control over who the Nobel committee chooses to award their prize to and have this dumb motherfucker write back a letter showing his fucking ass about how fucking stupid and averse to reality he is. He just thinks if he keeps repeating it his own words make it true.

    Trump is absolutely the dumbest fucking asshole alive.
