President Donald Trump issued a bizarre and threatening letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, PBS News reported Sunday night — a message in which he stated he “no longer” felt an “obligation to think purely of peace” over what he’s perceived as a snub in not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.
“Dear Jonas: 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,” Trump wrote in the letter, the text of which was obtained by PBS.

Nevertheless, the committee issued a statement this month reiterating that the award “cannot be shared or transferred to others,” a statement that apparently irked the president.

“Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway?” Trump fumed.

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!”
